jonbar87's STOCK H22 Prelude top speed acceleration 0 - 152mph

[FrontalTraction]

I don't know if you're brave or crazy for going 150 mph while holding a camera but pretty cool.

[poop4256]

whats the check engine for

[caerbannog03]

@poop4256

Probably has the EGR blocked off or the O2 sensor is bad/removed.

[tsxdriver17]

Down hill ftw..

[erichizz09]

if the spedometer says maxes at 150 how the fuck were you going 152?

[Xeron05]

@erichizz09 Exactly, The odometer registers 150 but thats not the cars maximum capability. Do you know anything about cars?

[BitchGoHome1]

WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GO TO GET THAT MUCH ROAD TO TOP IT OUT?!

Ohh check this, yall would not believe my stock sh 97 smoked a porsche on highway. 3cars. you shud challenge 1 jonbar

[sheveronica]

CEL? was it the egr?

[ikeepzitclean]

@sheveronica CEL? could be misfire issue.. P1399.. its a common issue for the H22 in these 5th gen.

[ikeepzitclean]

HA thats why i love my lude.. legit car bro. wish they still manuf. them

[pressYifyourFLY]

REV LINE !!

[morganman102]

dude badass

[battlefieldchris]

This was really with no mods at all? My stock 99 wont go that fast.

[Nd4Spd01]

yeah I know jonbar87 I do own a 97 honda prelude sh and I make a trip to Mexico, around trip over 3000 miles and spent about 320 bucks on fuel plus and oil changed there!!! and I love driving that car especially when the Vtec kicks in!!! but at the moment cars in under work due to a crack oil pan and shot exhaust system!!! car has 220K miles on it with original engine!!! tranny has been replaced once!!!! and I had it for 6 yrs!!

[chevyblows2001]

was the car fully warmed up before that? your coolant temp needle reads like mine. mine reads below what other preludes run at.

[jonbar87]

@chevyblows2001 yeah it was. I had been driving for about 2 hours by this point.

[chevyblows2001]

@jonbar87 damnh. i took my prelude on a 2 hour trip not too long ago. i was ve3ry suprised to see i got 30MPG on a car with 117000 miles and how it runs in the upper 3's highway speeds. and my temp gauge stayed like that the whole time. how much miles do you currently have?

[truetoheart44]

@chevyblows2001 Thats what mine shows? No matter what

[jayguy173]

two clips put together notice the flicker then he suddenly doing 155 lol

[jonbar87]

@jayguy173 Uh no it's all one clip. I recorded it with my camera phone.

[jayguy173]

@jonbar87 well im pretty sure its not doing 155

[jonbar87]

@jayguy173 I'm not just pretty sure, i'm positive it is. I was there. I filmed it. I went 152 or whatever it is (don't know exactly since the speedo only goes to 150) just cause some random dude on the internet doesn't think it went this fast doesn't mean it didn't....i'm sorry to burst wop ignorant bubble, but it did.

[jonbar87]

@jonbar87 Your* ignorant bubble

[jonbar87]

@jayguy173 Why would someone lie about this....what would be the point? 

[Chrono404]

@jayguy173 Did we watch the Same Video? It shows a perfect sweep up from 0 to 152ish.

[thekimirai]

You defit the purpose of having VTEC.

I love VTEC for the rest of my life.

[thekimirai]

You defit the purpose of having VTEC.

I love VTEC for the rest of my life.

[Markyboi1992]

Dude its a vtec...? u dont change at like 6 hahah

[sjgiants12]

I got 99 Prelude I was wondering how fast these cars could go and no way would I take my car to that limit

[truetoheart44]

Lol you red lined for like 10seconds. hah i r scared..

[xXvalleyboi808Xx]

H22A DOHC V-TECH

can any one picture a 1999 prelude with carbon fiber panels

[dirtbikemike69]

Damn both of my 4th gen's, in 5th gear hit 120mph at the redline. They are pretty low geared. Do the 5th gens have different ratios?

[racerx479]

well you must not be doin something right or your car's messed up cuz my bone stock 92 lude si got to 135 with more power to spare, but a cop pulled me over so i never got to see how much more.

[dirtbikemike69]

@racerx479 LOL.. I know how to drive... I'll have to make a video.. They get to 100mph quick but you are literally redlining 5th around 125mph. Not sure if they are a different tranny than USDM or what....

[golfinguy55555]

how fast will the 3rd gen ludes get to 60mph

[vtownHduece]

@golfinguy55555 wit this engine very fast lol

[31compton13]

9secs-

[MrJDM1990]

nice lude man

[99ludeSH]

yeah well i got a 99 sh and i have buried the speedometer stock and it still had more to go. oh in case you fags were wondering it goes to 150.

[PANT3N3]

98ludesh, most amazing cars every buddy:) 5th gens rule, and iv put it to 150 then i let off, its funny how at 150mph that the car handle as good as if u were doing 40mph

[jon20m]

the dude is granny shiftin let me point that out,,, BUT look where it gets up to 143MPH and then Moves Back 2mph and then hits 150mph  im thinkin Noss? iv had mine around 138 and thats it?

[jonbar87]

yea i was...i had just bought it and was trying to be easy on her :p. When I hit 143 I was coming up over an incline...once it leveled back out i started accelerating again.

[xxGriffonxx]

i had mine going 145 today on the freeway with two passengers

[MDC33147]

@jon20m 138 cuz ur car blows.

[fuckutube84]

HAUL ASS!

[kaeranz]

Did you do this on a downhill? The reason I'm asking is the fastest I've gotten my 97 'lude on the flat is a tad over 140. Your car paused at 140, then pulled the last 10mph out of nowhere like it hit a decline.

[sniperz1408]

i have a 96 VTEC ive always wondered how it would run against a 5th gen. also does anyone know if the gears are diff from the 4th to 5th gen

[dontbuyprelude]

@sniperz1408 the gears are the same i believe as is the hp. 5th gens weigh more so you should take a 5th gen no prob. even h23s hang with 5th gens till 3 gears top end comes into play. so.... 5th gens are fair game for you

[PANT3N3]

i love 4th gens, sexy ass car

[Coltondude1]

my friend's brother has a stock prelude,he always talks shit about how it could outrun my '96 impala ss. but im sure my impala would win. wat do you think?

[xxGriffonxx]

you'd probably have him in the 1/4 but he might get u on a long road

[Setostrife]

Impalas are poop son, get urself a honda

[Coltondude1]

im plannin on gettin one when i get older. ha,im only fourteen. and imps arent "poop slow" there actually pretty fast. alot faster than my friends brothers prelude,although the preludes do have alot of torque

[Setostrife]

Colton I think you should look up what torque actually is.. i own an S2000, 240 horsepower when it was stock and it doesn't have shit for torque and it (is) was honda's high performance car with the exception of the all-mighty NSX

[Coltondude1]

@Setostrife ok,your probly right. i dont really look into tuners like i do american made cars. i dont kno that much about em compared to wat ik about chevies and fords,but when i rode n my friends bros prelude it did have alotta torque. it could get up and go n a heartbeat

[jonbar87]

Setostrife is right, honda's do not have torque.

[coandcaiv]

well said ..impilashit

[tommyistommy]

depends on the year/engine in the lude, it could be a close race or you could beat it easily. a 4th generation vtec (92-96) would give you the best run, a 97-01 is slightly slower, and if it doesn't have a vtec engine you'll kill it

[20Luder00]

the only 4th gens that came with vtec motors were 93-96 and all 5th gens had H22's.

[tommyistommy]

if you're strictly talking about america, thats true. In europe for example they had a f series 2.0 liter in the 5th generation as well as h22's. You got the 4th generation part right though.

[20Luder00]

ok well i'm glad we're on the same page then!

[PANT3N3]

didnt some 5th gens come with f20's?

[20Luder00]

some of the european model preludes did, thats correct

[SeigiSama]

Not in the states. All 5th Gens were h22a4. And top spees in my 5th gen when it was stock was higher than that, I actually hit the rev limit, but the speedometer is very inaccurate at those speeds.

[SeigiSama]

*speed

[coandcaiv]

are these model year preludes reliable?...i want to buy one sometime...but im a broke nigga....and i need it to be decently relibale...any help would appreciated....otherwise i might roll with a accord v6 ..

[jonbar87]

it all depends on the previous owner....just like with any car. overall, yes, this car is extremely reliable...but once again, if the previous owner ran it low of oil and/or never did maintenance...then who knows when it might give out on you. but if it was maintained how the average car should be, then it will last you as long as you'd need it to.

[98Integrapower]

I dunno how that worked out for u u must have disabled the fuel cut off :S these cars are supposed to max out at 137 mph or 217 kmph. And the autos are terrible. only 4 gears the 5 spds walk them

[jonbar87]

uh no....stock 5th gen ecu does not have a fuel or ignition cut...where did you get your info from?

[98Integrapower]

road and track plus the fact that i own one lol.... it does have a fuel cut off at 7500 rpm.... maybe its just a canadian thing but mine does. and yea the auto tensioner is good but in order to do it yourself u need a pretty damn good set of tools.... alot of specialty shit needed.

[jonbar87]

must be Canadian models...i know jdm models have that as well. usdm models do not have a fuel or ignition cut...I know that for a fact. doing the tensioner conversion wasn't that difficult...

[PANT3N3]

is that h22a4?

[jonbar87]

@PANT3N3 yes.

[PANT3N3]

@jonbar87 sick car

[googleyo]

hahahahahah fuel cut off my 2000 prelude ant got one my man

[PANT3N3]

yeh neither does my 98sh , i love it:P

[ManniesWorld88]

You can Push it to 8200 rpm

[euroraccord]

this was just a top speed run not a video of acceleration

[wedlox88]

guys shifting before 7000rpm in second gear

preludeswasted in this case

[my88tc]

I'm looking into getting a '97 Prelude with the "sport-shift" auto. Are the automatics still decent? I'd much rather have a manual, but its almost impossible to find any Prelude in my area.

[jonbar87]

honestly no, the auto's suck. join any prelude forum and you will read tons of threads on the automatic "triptronic" tranny blowing. for some reason honda had a hard time making a decent auto tranny for the lude. Don't waste your money if your not going to get a standard. try autotrader/ebay/craigslist for a manual before you settle for an automatic. you will regret it, i promise you.

[01PreludeSe]

lmao not true i bought a tip tronic 01 lude for the fun of it and now it has a full slap shift race tranny and a bunch of motor parts lmao i could easy tool any manual

[420burnzy18]

and plus automatic is for pussies

never buy an automatic sports car you looks like an idiot lol

[erikkk54]

@420burnzy18 hahaha so true but manuel cars in traffic is a payne in the ass I just hate that.

[99ludeSH]

nice i have only made it to 147

[Pilot9r]

I got it in a private sale off craigslist. The guy seemed like a real straight up dude who didn't beat on the car, bought it and had mechanic friends check it out. Leaky valve cover gasket and a worn out tie rod end. Owner thinks he did timing belt but I'm not so sure because it seems like a big cost repair that you would be sure of. I am just curious of the engine braking in traffic...its STRONG in first gear like having a manual...Car shifts a bit harder than most I am used to.

[NickBlank00]

I have an SH and its ass, i really wish i got a base model, ATTS is nothing but a problem, the SH does handle really well, but its just not worth it, im gonna swap a base model h22 in mine and call it a day, they have ATTS running through the block and shit...pointless!

[Pilot9r]

Yea it is a fun car, I put around 1500 milees on it in the last two weeks. My car is automatic with the autoshift manual option that I never bother to use...it feels weird at slow speeds like it IS a manual because I can feel teh engine braking in traffic when I back off the gas. Is that normal? Also sometimes if I hit the gas a certain way from a stop it feels like it is a manual when it gets rolling. The previous owner said he did one O2 senser, hopefully car is good for long time.

[23PBZ]

I use to own a 1997 prelude H22 5 speed manual , and i seem to beat 1998-2001 type SH models , Was 1997 the best year for Prelude?

[jonbar87]

not really, just that the SH weighs a bit more therefore giving the base preludes a small advantage

[timo141]

my colorado has a better 0-60 than that man! but once the needle goes past 110, i have no idea how fast im going but i did bend it a little...

thats pretty fast though

[Pilot9r]

I just bought a 98 prelude today. $4k with 96,000 miles. Test drove, smooth, handles nice, seems good condition. Pretty impressive speed for a little four cylinder car.  I live to ride sportbikes so it's not going to be amazing to me, but I just wanted to get a fun little car that handles nice and was reliable. Any known issues with these cars? Seems to have all great reviews from what I can see.

[23PBZ]

Their fun cars they feel nice to drive i use to own a 1997 prelude ,their reliable ,but when you do need parts their expensive , they have 2 oxygen sensors , witch cost like 200 bucks each or even more .

[wh1teredneck]

a '98 for 4K?? dammnn Where? Its so hard to find them here in Miami, FL

[98Integrapower]

auto tensioner on the timing belt is a big issue with 5th gens

[jonbar87]

that's why I have an H23 manual tensioner so I don't have to worry about it.

[burton1818]

@Pilot9r The 97-01s end up burning oil...

[kkage2]

@burton1818 if it has a honda badge, at 200k Km it will burn oil...

[kiLLaHz99]

it that all stock?... in my prelude 5th gen i got cold air intake and headers and a exhaust i can max out 150 in 4th gear

[jonbar87]

there is no possible way to go 150 in 4th gear in a 5th gen with a stock tranny

[kiLLaHz99]

oh trust me its possible with a little redline

[driftman240sx]

no not possible...even with a f22 trans in my 5th gen i got 4th up to 145mph....def not possible with stock trans

[jonbar87]

exactly. not physically possible in a 5th gen h22 lude. kiLLaHz99 is mistaken

[m1gu3l622]

i liked how he waz maxing it out wit a lil gas lol its a nice video i maxed mine @ 130 cuz i ran out of space i want 2 max it out all the way but im scared that i might fuck it up what could anyone could recomend me ?

[getignited114]

go to a old air strip... legal, safe and you'll more than likely max it out

[DrNate89]

Why don't you take it to at least 7000 RPM? That's where you get max HP in the 2.2 vtec?

[jonbar87]

yea i know this. I was concentrating on driving and holding the camera more than when i was shifting. I know that i coulda accelerated faster if i woulda taken it higher...

[DrNate89]

Good point, watching the road is a bit more important than shift timing haha.

[H22apowah]

I have a 00 prelude non sh, with intake.... what would be the top speed for it.?.?.

[jonbar87]

intakes are over rated. because of gearing/hp your not gonna see over 150mph with an H22 lude

[jonbar87]

nirvtec = even dumber little kid who doesn't have a clue that i was out in the middle of NO WHERE with NO traffic and the only persons life i was risking was my own. Next time before you make an idiotic comment, know your facts. Douche bag.

[420lude]

the speed limiter is 140 on a 5 gen prelude without a modified rev limiter

[tfbuff]

cool vid

[jonbar87]

pretty much what you see there ^

[xxnissansilviaxx1027]

h22?

[jonbar87]

yup

[jeffreynevermind]

mans pushed that shit to the limit. 5th gen preludes usually top out at 143 MPH but cause he went past redline thats why he hit 152-153MPH. i wouldn't do that to my prelude but its always nice to know someone else will kill their car for a video! nice job dude!

[jonbar87]

eh...i got bored one day on a long trip and figured why not. still runnin strong at 155k :)

[womblesmurf]

@jeffreynevermind your fucking stupid i have this same exact car 2000 bass h22a4 prelude, at 130-132 it is in redline. If you owned a 5th gen lude you would know that

[henryc789]

@womblesmurf well maybe he has type sh version because i was in the passenger seat of a 98 going 145 and our friend with the exact same type sh 1998 going 150 in dront of us and we werent sitting at redline in 5th at 130 your just dumb then preludes are known for having high top end, it makes up for all the weight the car is a hawking machine

[dolanrice08]

preludes dont evan like to go past 6k rpms.

[ijoostin]

That's just where he's shifting.

You can easily redline them to 8 if you want...

[dolanrice08]

but like i said they dont LIKE to.

[cirilobeto]

oh you got it wrong.... 6k is barely starting after vtec. 5th gen preludes love going to 8k all the time. i know mine does.

[SeeMyhondaVTEC]

agreed, hondas love to rev. My car feels like power never peaks, it still pulls all the way to 8.

[jonbar87]

exactly. i was paying more attention to holding my phone and trying to drive then i was shifting. I should have been shiftin around 7500

[98SHPrelude]

dont listen to romedollaz! preludes dont like to be redlined.

[oggiwoggi]

REDLINE MONSTER

[cyberstrike2027]

I've done this once in my '99 lude, just love it as it goes off the clock! Mine reached the limiter in 5th however, definitely needs a 6th gear ;) At that speed you should have panned out and filmed the fuel gauge too, it moves just as much as the RPM gauge ;) hehe

[Romedollaz]

let that shit redline!!!!!!!

[shiboi13]

you need gas by the way..

[jala100pres]

que buena prelude!!! no hay como lo japones !!! jamas jamas me teendria q haber bajado de mi swift gti y comprado un clio es una poronga!!! Mi proximo objetivo es una prelude como la tuya! saludos desde argentina!

[Nd4Spd01]

nice video, I do have a 97 prelude sh and got it to 140+mph I didn't wanna push it all the way cause I was running out of highway I should I say my exit! preludes are fun I love mine tho! check out my vids! Later!

[arjay031]

major props bro.. kinda scary you hit the redline..

[mattfra1]

not bad but you need to have your atts system serviced!

[jonbar87]

that's not atts, it's my check engine light.

[mattfra1]

my bad i had 01 sh and thats where my atts light was

[R3DBULLX23]

i raced a car just like that in my mustang the other day. he wasnt stock so it was a good race! but i still beat him lol.

[deeneyboy]

Ha! you nutter!

Next time get a camera person as one handed driving at 152 is just insane :D

[MLDFC]

I have a 97 honda prelude too and I got it up to 150. I got to the place in no time. but the bad part is that on the way back i got pulled over and the cop said that he was maxed out on his car. he only caught up to me cuz i slowed down cuz cars started to come. it was like 3am..fun ass drive tho!

[stunludez03]

Nice run, got mine to 150, does it pop out of gear when you hit the revlimiter at 8000rpms? Be careful dont do that anymore u did it once so you know where it will top. Unless of course an RX-8 rolls up, hehe

[calderon2249]

i think you dropped your tranny somewhere around 3rd gear lol ...

[junaid91]

props

[bongman4ghz]

red bull

[getalife04]

Two things, you are low on gas AND your check engine light is on. Just thought

I would point that out lol. Preludes aren't bad to 70 or so but after that it takes a while. But that is what mods are for.

[pennywise421]

dude.

[peaceout2you]

love the sound of the vtec

[anirban0]

thats scary stuff i would never do that to my prelude.. or myself

[race4fun2]

i have a 97 prelude and one night me and my friend were racing (he has a 95 honda del sol 1.6 dohc vtec)and i was going 150mph and he was going 130mph way behind and some cops coming the opposite way saw us and they didnt even try to turn around but i just keep going just in case they did

[newportb0x]

97-98 have 190 HP. 00-01 have 200 HP. mpg is 17-28 or more. depends how u drive. Preludes handling feels way better than any integra and most american cars.

[KRB5]

well it does go pretty fast, i've had mine up to about 150, the needle was just tapping the 150 mark

[jayguy173]

i dont think its going that fast i been in a lot of cars at the track sounds more like 125-130mph to me

[jonbar87]

...? my speedometer doesn't lie to me.

[dualcam23]

No redline?

BOOOO!!lol

[orlandoromania]

WOW it is a fast car, 150 mph at rev limit, now if u chipped it 8.5k rpm it would be over 160

[jayguy173]

top speed has to do with gearing rpms and hp nuthing to do with how fast it gets there a tractor probably could with long ass road

[culprit00]

I know the H22 gets max power at 6800rpms and this is where this guy shifts... what he fails to notice is that everytime he shifts at 6800rpm.. the car drops out of vtec on the next gear.. stock h22 vetc kicks in at 5500 rpm.... you have to red line it dude a little bit say abotu 7500 to keep the revs up on the next gear... so the car can stay in vtec

[jonbar87]

it's not that i don't know that, i was just trying to drive, hold my phone, and shift all the same time and was not paying attention to when i was shifting. normally when i race i shift right at 7200 everytime so i stay in vtec..

[estocker123]

at least you know why your gas tank is almost empty! lol.

[fingerboardingrucus]

my bro has a 98 lude with a chip and intake that shiy is quick he redlines at 8600 rpm"S. i love the sound of that vtec opening in 2nd gear

[Radioactive45]

I got a Prelude. I've done 150 with slight mods. What people need to understand is that it has no low end, but when it gets going it's a little beast. I raced a 350z on the highway once and he could not keep up. I think he would get me out of the hole though.

[mailmansarwei]

So the check engine light is "insufficient EGR flow"....carbon in the EGR valve!? i think my 98 lude have the same thing.. I wonder what should I do about it.. or it dosn't matter@@?

[stairway2heaven781]

I wrecked my 98 prelude.I'm gonna miss that bitch.haha.I'm thinking of buying me an Audi A4 or BMW if not i'll get another prelude. Next time i 'won't drive crazy.haha

[crimsonsamich]

dont get an a4 I had before I bought my lude and that bitch was slow. It was a 2.8 and It took me twice as long to get to 100mph as I does now. how disapointing

[trackx07]

love the h22 engines, my cousin got one form a junkyard and put it in his 93 hatch civic with a primer coat, it's ugly but it's one hell of a sleeper

[ScottLude97]

I would've laughed so hard if you ran outta gas while doing that.

[MisterSkaTuba]

sweet dude. doesnt it feel great to drive that fast.... :)

[SwayNV]

Bone stock?

Your accel from 125 - 150 is faster than mine!

and I'm modded out the ass! lol

... My O2 sensors out, and alt just fried though.

I'm changing the Alt now.

I'm sure once I change my O2 and reset my ECU, I'll be performing in top shape again ^_^

Nice vid btw

[MaryGoRound420]

i have 98 auto sport shift should i keep it and do a swap or buy a 00 maxima? Or just keep it how it is?

[jonbar87]

well i dunno about you but i personally love my 5th gen lude. Maxima's are good cars, just don't like them as much as the Prelude. I would personally do the 5spd swap if i was you. Honda ftw

[madhamsterpr]

maximas (IMO) are slow, my mom has one and it can barely make it past 80mph and its v6 and a nissan which will drink up that gas as if it were water.

lol is this stock??
