I don't care for most Hondas, though. They don't have any torque. I guess I haven't owned anything with less than 6 cylinders in a long time and whenever I drive a 4 cyl, it just doesn't feel right. The only exception was my friend's 350hp awd 1G Talon. It hauls azz, but it's always broken.

Nice pickup OP

On the other hand, with a stock H22, you can easily get 150 ish ft. lbs. of torque and about 190ish whp with bolt-ons. With a simple build on the H22, you can do just shy of 180ish ft. lbs. of torque and 230 whp.
So how exactly do you make more power easily on the B20V?
I really plain do not understand the hooplah over B20V. The previous "knock" on H22 swaps about 10 years ago was the gearing and cost (plus the over-exaggerated non-existent weight "issues"). Ten years ago, B20V might have won the pocketbook argument, but not nowadays. H22 prices have come wayyyyyyyyy down. B series tranny + H22 is so full of win it's crazy. I'm a huge H22 fan so no matter what you say I probably won't be convinced otherwise. I put an H22 in an EG about 10 years ago (when it was still really expensive to do) and haven't believed the general anti-H22 kool-aid ever since.
Next year I'll be going H22 in my EF

Ew DA's, I'm just not a fan of those at all. Some come out clean but most don't sadly. **** that thing has more mileage than both my Maximas combined lol.
At least you're happy with it though! That's all that matters.

Torque is the name of the game. You'd be lucky to get 130 ft. lbs. of torque and 170 whp on a stock B20V with bolt-ons. Build/tune it, and you can get about 150 ft. lbs. of torque and 200-215 whp.
On the other hand, with a stock H22, you can easily get 150 ish ft. lbs. of torque and about 190ish whp with bolt-ons. With a simple build on the H22, you can do just shy of 180ish ft. lbs. of torque and 230 whp.

dc header+aem intake+fidanza fw+68mm skunk2 tb+2.5" exhaust+msd wires and coil=150whp for us in a 99 'lude (h22 5-speed) (don't remember where the dyno sheet went)
now we play with supras, and their 3 liter, dohc, rwd goodness.

Sounds like your Prelude dyno was the equivalent of the 130 ish whp VE dyno floating around here a few years ago (i.e., extremely out of the ordinary).

Yeah, Hondas are kind of like Legos. You can just swap in parts. Almost everything is interchangeable.
I don't care for most Hondas, though. They don't have any torque. I guess I haven't owned anything with less than 6 cylinders in a long time and whenever I drive a 4 cyl, it just doesn't feel right. The only exception was my friend's 350hp awd 1G Talon. It hauls azz, but it's always broken.

I have to mention that I was on the freeway the other day and someone in one of those Intergras was trying to race me or something. Banged up body, fart can, Altezzas ect.. Kept staying close behind me in the next lane. First time I hit my signal and he sped up, but I changed lanes before he got too close. Then as I approached my exit (about 1/2 mile away), I signaled well beyond what the law requires preparing to get into the far RH lane, but he still tried to pass me instead of just letting me get into the lane, so I just kept merging slowly like a responsible driver would as if nobody was there, he layed his horn on me and jerked into the lane that I in previously and passed me as fast as he could (which wasn't very fast). I simply flipped him off as he passed without even looking at him. And then shifted down from 5th to 3rd at WOT and left his *** in my rear view mirror.

Hahah. Funny. Just a cool daily driver. Its really fun to drive. Well. Considering it is the first stick shift i have ever driven and owned. Ehhh. It looks fun being a ricey 17 year old. Haha

This isn't toward Hatman as he bought the car this way, but just toward the whole weight reduction silliness in general. I guess I'm abnormal in that I just plain don't care to have a "fast" car if it has to be completely stripped of all creature comforts. I've just never understood that mentality, like, not at all.
The cars that I think are most cool/impressive are the ones that are fast AND still have complete interior/ac/radio and creature comforts and can be driven daily on the street in that same form. It's one thing to have light (but still good looking) wheels, remove the spare tire or jack, or whatever. But these people going to the track and literally stripping everything off the car for a few tenths is IMO kind of "fake" fast just like nitrous. I'll just never "get it" I guess. It reminds me of that article in Super Street or whatever it was about 8-9 years ago when those guys bought a brand new bone stock Sentra and literally stripped the hell out of it, and got it to run a 14 flat or something
