Inline X Racing Mid-Engine RWD Honda Prelude at WORLD OF WHEELS

[Tekvicious]

The Prelude has looked like it needed to be front engined and rwd since 92-93. The H22 would have been very nice for that (if it rotated in the other direction).

its gotta get HOT in that cabin...

[kidcool1977]

This guy I admire, while the wanna be racers go out and buy mustangs this guy finds an unwanted stone and polishes it to perfection

[xXjaketotheman737Xx]

its cool indeed but i know of a 94 prelude with the engine in the front stil and its RWD. the dude took the tranny off a honda crv AWD and its looks sick!

[PR3LUDESI]

im a beaner n im sorry to ask but wheres the sound system?

[itubrrr]

just out of curiosity but how the fek does the intercooler work when it's located behind the car. how would air actually get "cooled" with that kind of placement? sh1t makes no sense to me, could someone elaborate please.

[TheNewPajNtaub]

@itubrrr- Great question. He use a NOS system to cool the intercooler. The large NOS bottle (painted red) sits up front in the old engine bay area.

[teamxmpls]

@itubrrr

Just because the intercooler sits in the back it does not mean that there is no air back there

The air comes from underneath and goes thru the intercooler just like how it works in the front

Because the car was design for street and drag racing a liquid to air intercooler in being used for additional cooling at the track for multiple runs

[teamxmpls]

@itubrrr

The car is running on a Hondata ecu so the cooling temp and air temp is monitor correctly and the reading is as good as any of my other cars that runs front mount intercooler

[tenjinnim]

@itubrrr probably has side vent drafts that sucks up air into the back of the car ... just like a ferrari or an nsx

[assclone15]

oh shit its kit

[livethefunk]

this is really something else man, my brother loves preludes, he has a 92' lude with a 5th gen motor swap done to it amongst other things, but this is just on a whole new level.

[ToyamaRacingSpirit]

Well done on a very difficult conversion :-) Great viewing

[TheNewPajNtaub]

yes, the radiator(black) is up front, but what you see is not it..that is the inter-cooler. =)

[hydrephonics]

does it have the radiator in the front?

[lilrichie88]

agree h22s are better

[TheNewPajNtaub]

H22 of course!  I'll give you 3 reasons:

1. cheap

2. readily available engine and parts

3. more power

[darphinparis]

if you could pick a h23 or h22, what one is better to build up?

[madhamsterpr]

same thing, only dif is that the h22 is vtec and 0.1 less, the block is the same.

[b20mr2]

the stroke is longer ,kinda like a gsr and and ls vtec....h23 is alot more power with a vtec head fyi =) have a nice day.

[madhamsterpr]

It's not a lot more power, it actually has less power, there's a blue top H23A that came from an accord AWD station wagon that's vtec. It's just like a USDM H22 but more torque.

H22A (JDM) 217hp 163 ft·lbf

H22A4 (USDM) 197hp 156 ft·lbf

H23A (JDM) 197hp 163 ft·lbf

And the stroke isn't longer in an H23, it has a bigger bore.

Have a nice day....

[ogpaintballr]

@madhamsterpr i have a 95 prelude with an H22a and factory pushes 197hp, the 5th gen preludes (H23a) pushed 217 hp to compensate for the heavier car...not arguing, correct me if im wrong please

[madhamsterpr]

5th gens didnt come with H23's, only H22's. The 4th gen preludes (92-96) F22's S model, H23's Si models, and H22's VTEC models. The older H22's bring 187hp (A1/2), and the A4 brings 197hp which are OBD2. The 5th gens just have a stronger H22.

[b20mr2]

your a murray you must be in a different country cause the non vtec with h22 head make 50 more to the wheel then your h23 accord wagon euro fyi

[Grimnest]

The stroke is longer.

H22=90mm stroke

H23=95mm stroke

Same bore. Both is 87mm :)
