2.4 Vs. H22 Prelude
This kid at my school has a late 80's prelude si? (has an si badge). Anyways he has an H22 swap done on it and today after school my and my bro were driving and he was in front of us. So we end up pullin over and talkin and then we decided that we were gonna race.
So we go from a dig and I had it in "L", 3 honks to go and were off. I got him off the line and just kept walking on him. We went to about 85-90mph and I had about 6 cars on him. I assume he got off the gas after I kept pullin on him. I thought he might have got me.

sounds like the kids is either lying about the h22 swap or he doesnt know how to drive... I use to have a h23 prelude and i hung out with a lot of kids with h22.... h22 is putting out 190 hp.... beings u were 6 cars ahead..... id say he is lying about the swap.

i used to have an 89 lude (3rd gen) and it is next to impossible to do the famous H22A swap, seeing as how the h22 is out of the honda CRV you hav to do sooo much custom work its not even worth it, i believe its the better half of 10 grand for the customization and parts alone

Does L make you accelerate quicker? Whenever I've raced someone I've always put it in I. (which I have no idea what that stands for, anybody know?) Have a 2.2 by the way.

"I" is an intemediate gear, and will use the entire range of gears, but will use the LOWEST gear possible. The engine drags on the transmission when you'r not accelerating, but provides more direct power when you are.
"D" is basically our overdrive, and will use the HIGHEST gear possible when shifting.
You'll get better starts using "L" because you can keep it in 2nd gear into 5-6K rpms before moving it into "I" and letting it shift up

Leave it in "L", the tranny will shift on its' own at approximately 6300 RPM. Once you are in Second upshift to "I" and the tranny will shift at the best peak into third.

im not sure what the crvs had, but i think u could use the bottom end of it and use the head of an h22 and make a huge frankenstein engine, but i dont think many people successfully did it.

ok off topic, but i always use "L" for first gear and then shift into "I" for the rest..should i be leaving it in "L" and then shift into "I" after 2 gears for the rest of the race

I have raced my friend with a 2001 Integra with a h22 swap, with hondata, I/E/H hes running low 15's high 14's and i can keep up with him with a 2.4 SS sedan I/E/HPT auto, it is very close, and his motor came out of a prelude, not a CRV. he also has a type R integra that is FAAAAAAAAAAAst, all motor 13.5 sec car. but he has a fully built bottom and top end.
