Have any of you guys driven both.
WHat are your opinions of the overall difference in the engines torque curves and power/torque down low, midrange and up high.
How would a H23A with I/H/E go up against a H22a vtec with stock all.

the h23 powered car would get demolished
H22 vtecs have better gearing as well right,actually I know they should haha
The H22A has more torque and more power, both of which bolt ons won't make up for...well at least not to the point where it's enough to beat a JDM H22.
mine's got a 4.062 FD, dunno about the H23Quote:

H22a is a 2.2ltr
B18C2 is a 1.8ltr
the H22a has more torque also has a much high peak power aswell.
the Prelude VTIR no matter being the 4th gen (BB4) or the 5th gen (BB6) would beat a DC2 VTIR in a straight line.
but who cares anyways if it is on the streets your going to be doing the road rules. so a matter of fact the prelude wins...looks better and has more gizmos like climate control.
Yeah fair enough. Except i thought the 100-150kg gain and the longer gearing would make it lose
i think it might be a close one.Quote:

yes it will be close on a short straight line race.
but in a longer on the prelude will just keep pulling. Prelude has all the low end power and the high end power to back it up. once its moving their quick
Integra's pull a bit harder off the line from the shorter gears as well as the weight advantage.
Prelude vti-r vs a Integra vti-r they will both be around 15s on the quarter mile.
Unless you're really seriously about your racing just have a test drive of both different cars, try a few examples for each of the respective models and then just pick what you feel is best.
If you're serious about getting out performance and want a flat out which is the faster car in general. Integra is your answer.
True. Based on cheaper aftermarket parts and support.
All in all, the H22A is a beast of an engine if you worked it the same way as the B's, setting the difference in price and third party support aside.
That being said if you want to be a badass put a H22A into a Integra, it makes for a very quick car.Quote:

Haha I have one on my EG
Fkn lucky Kant hayashi haha. Yeah I think the prelude is a good base car and the low down torque of the h22a would be quite a bit better. Only problem being wight
Yeah my old car was a H22A EG and my First car was a H22A 4th Gen Prelude.
I love the H22A engine, I don't see the B series as being all that special except for how cheap it and all its parts are.
h22a lude will lose to a b18c2 Integra, off the line.
