h22/prelude question?

[mxjoe388]

ok so ive been lookin into gettin a lude.wanted a 92 si but now im lookin at a 97.my question is when i look them up on like cars.com or ebay or autotrader some say h22 red top and some say h22 blue top.other than the obvious color difference on the valve cover what differences are there?
thanks in advance

H22A red top from Prelude Type S
As for the blue top, not sure if it's even an H22, maybe it's just got a painted valve cover, other blue top I know of is the F20B from Accord Sir or Sir-T

More often than not they just swapped valve covers and are using that as a gimmick to jack up the price. Unless they have some sort of documentation to verify that their motor is a "blue" or "red" top, don't believe it.

I had my H22A JDM lude for eight years. Don't be afraid to floor it at every opportunity!! I used to have my shift light set just above the rev limiter. I had some good races with type R's I all ways won you've got to love the H22A.

looks good, I see you kept the same wheels for the accord, nice. Ever dynoed the lude? what were you running

 

[ubik]

Never had it dynoed but the JDM H22A is high compression compared to the EDM
I think as standard it's 189 or 198 then I had HKS cat back system, DC sports induction kit and a few other bits for a few more horses so I'd guess just over 200.
