Possible engines for Prelude 4th gen AUTO

**Kazaf** · 25-10-2005 05:50 PM

After failing to purchase the CRX I've come accross an offer from a family member.
A family member of mine has a mate which is selling a possibly 94-96 prelude, therefor being a 4th gen?

Have read heaps about H22A, and what are some possible models for an Automatic transmission 4th gen Honda prelude? Would an Auto prelude of any sort have a VTEC engine?
What possible engines would it have? are they all simular to manual models?
VTi-R? etc etc?

Please fill me in guys, going to inspect the car tomorrow, have not been able to inspect earlier because my uncles mate lives in the somewhere near the City.

Cheers

You can get Auto VTiR's... its just a bit pointless as the auto transmission makes them boring.

Since you dont own the car, your best of going for a manual vtir... which has the h22a.

If your asking what some possible models are?

S Prelude, base, F22 SOHC non vtec, 96kw.
Si Prelude, Upper model, h23 DOHC non vtec, 119kw
VTiR, Top Model, H22a DOHC VTEC, 142kw.

Especially try and avoid a S if you want a sporty drive.

The automatics have the same engine's... they just make it SLOOOW, very slow... The Si and S arn't really fast cars, with a auto transmission they'd probly do a high 16/ 17 second pass.

So there would be a h22a for an auto VtiR prelude?
And it is vtec?

So what are the prices you guys would pay, or the sale prices in trading posts etc.
They mainly sell around $11,000+?

if the car is a vti-R model, then it does have VTEC

gd luck with it all

Thanks mate, I'd just like to know if I'll be getting a good deal or not when he throws the price at me.

Do all S, Si and VtiR models have sunroof, or only higher models do?
This car has a sunroof.

Have been searching on carsales and trading post, cannot find an Auto VTiR at all, guess the one I'm expecting to see tomorrow will be either S or Si.
