Project car

[ajdin]

Whats the diff between the a8 and a7 variant? I only ever heard of the H22A (JDM) from jap.. and the Type S from more recent Prelude's.

H22A4

The H22A4 is the designation of the engine used in the Base and Type-SH 97-01 Honda Prelude.
This engine was only released in the US in all their models, and these are designated with the "black tops".

H22A5

The H22A5 could be found in European Prelude VTi with "black top" and only 185 horsepower
H22A7

The H22A7 could be found in European Accord Type-R.
H22A8

This motor was only released within the European versions of the Prelude and can be designated with the "red tops".

K20 would be the way to go! No Doubt!!!

have u got a budget?
.....that is the question.....

[ajdin]

up to about 20k lol

[Type R Positive]

I'd personally go for K series. JDM K20A type R's seem to go for about $10k though.
