I loved my hondas because even after a motor swap and turbo (with all the right stuff, hondata/blitz sbc boost controller) I still got 30mpg and was pushing about 230hp on a 2000lb car. Was it the fastest.....NO, was it faster than most oem cars, probably. was it faster than 95% of other hondas....well since 95 % of other hondas have cut springs and fart cans for a total 100hp (imagined) gain, then yes. I wasn't racing it around and zipping through traffic like a jackass. while I think that as an all around car the hondas are some of the best, I would still sit back and admire any car that had good work done to it.

The down side to having a 1.6ltr with alot of performace mods is that I spent almost every weekend tweeking something, the A/F ratio, fuel maps, playing with plug gap, etc. Any time I went anywhere I was watching about 6 different gauges to make sure that everything was within limits, and that got old real quick.

I realized that what I really wanted was a car that had power and TQ in a stock setup, and therefore wouldn't need to be worked on every weekend. Of course I miss the fuel economy, but whenever I start to complain about gas mileage I just floor it in second and the sound of the tires breaking loose cheers me up quick. I didn't believe it until I drove it, but there really is no replacement for displacement. V-8 bowtie FTMFW!

 

i think people think i'm a ricer because i rev when i come to stop...but i have to heal and toe to get it in gear and so the brakes don't bog the motor and kill it


i'm fixin it though i promise

 

I had a buddy with a semi-riced out Prelude with a bad IAC sensor, I think it was. HORRIBLE idle surge. He got more quirked eyebrows and angry looks pulling up next to peopel at lights with that thing....

 

^were these rude or demeaning remarks? is a gay frisking in order???

 

I should kick you in the nuts for thinking that I'm thinking that. Fucker.

 

o and for those of you who say Hondas make more HP then TQ...look at my dyno charts


yes, i know its slow, i never said it wasn't but seriously, if it was running at full potential, it'd be a decent little auto-x motor

 

I put almost 3 times that much TQ....in my DD.

 

remember, this is a 17 year old single cam carbed motor that is on its way out, and i have no clue where timing is, i just randomly stuck it in, but yeah, its the worst B series honda engine evar, but i can say i make 25% more TQ then HP

o and with my first paycheck, i'm buying mounts to put the H22 in it, i'm so excited

 

i didnt know the old b series was carburated???
crazy... what year motor is it?
I actually love 91 preludes, my buddy matt had one in high school, fun ass car with an 05 mustang gt shift knob i stole from my some asshole i used to know...

 

^ haha yeah that guy was a douche
