6G Celicas Forums

did you perhaps try to slide the seat back?? it was no more cramped than a 6th gen celica...I've driven both...neither were that great
there's no comparison that i can give tho as far as the power of either...the 4th gen lude I drove had the F22 (SOHC non VTEC 2.2...) it was a base model.
it still had some balls tho...I sorta romped on it while I was pulling it in to change a wheel stud when I popped the hood I was very suprised that it was only the F22 and not the H23 (DOHC non VTEC 2.3)

the h23 is non VTEC

the H22A and the B18C are both very awesome engines...its hard to say which has more potential
I've seen an H22A that was bored and stroked to 2.6L...ran 14:1 compression and made over 280 hp at the wheels and like 220 tqu IIRC

EDIT
the H22A is 2.6L, 16:1 (estimated) compression, 260 hp and 200 tqu

I would also like to add that from what I hear...the h23 with h22 head isnt the greatest engine. the h23 bottom end isnt built the same as the h22 bottom end...its relatively time consuming and expensive to find JUST the h23 short block and h22 head by themselves...the little power gain from that extra 100 cc's isnt worth it IMO

bore and or stroke the h22 they make kits that you can take out to 2.4L if you want it that high

umm...no
that would be the s2k

the pilot has a larger engine...but only makes 162 hp and 160 lb ft

whoever said you barely lost to an RSX-s...your friend sucks ass at driving
220 hp and 160 lb ft...and Im not sure on this, but I believe the RSX is as light (if not lighter) than your celica...

well...as far as swapping an h22/h23 into a teg...its a pretty heavy engine for such a light car
you'll go fast in a straight line, but the car wont handle well

learn to read, clown...

couple things
88-91 prelude = 3rd gen
never came with VTEC
looks better than any celica ever IMO (but Im biased...I own one )
but the 3rd gen has very little aftermarket support
with an h22 (4th and 5th gen VTEC engine) the 3rd gen will be as fast, if not faster than the celica with the 3sgte...and you can still turbo it


92-96 = 4th gen...kind of ugly...pretty ghey space ship theme interior (digital gauges all the way across the dash)
the good thing about these is they are lighter than the 5th gen and already have a VTEC engine (well...not all of them did...) but they are about 200 lbs heavier than the 3rd gen

97-01 = 5th gen
all of them came with VTEC
kinda heavy cars...
very sexy interior and exterior (no celica ever built could ever compete..)
lots of aftermarket

its really a toss up...
the 6th gen celica isnt much faster out of the box than a 3rd gen prelude...a 4th or 5th gen VTEC would be a bit faster
I personally think my 3rd gen handles better than my buddies 6th gen...some disagree...*shrug*
I also find the interiors of the hondas more roomy...and thats a HUGE factor for me...
I'm 6'4" and 250 lbs...there better be some damn room

yea, I've seen that one before...that would suck **** to come home and have your garage caked with ice!

holy ****za!
thats crzy

that car is orgasmic.....
580 hp...omfg

CF exhaust....thats badass...wonder how much thats worth

ya...AWD is the ****
I want

I just got defensive cuz I hadnt noticed you were in a Gt-4...and to tell ya the truth, I dont know much about celicas and I had to look up the specs of the Gt-4 and saw that it was turbo AWD...then I knew I had to appologise for jumping the gun and assuming you were full of shiz

hmmm....turbo AWD prelude...something tells me I need about 30 grand and a machine shop

lol...stfu cody!

preludes rock...they are hot
so are celicas tho...I wish I could afford like...10 cars
one would either be a really old rwd celica or a new gt4 *drool*

ok...i retract both of those...
99 Gt4....cant dog on that...of course your gonna beat a FWD honda...


sorry dude

nvm about the vtec question...i see it was the 2.2 (h22...vtec engine)

but still...your telling me that you smoked a turbo h22 prelude by 4 cars...
either your putting a lot of power to the ground, or the celica is a lot lighter than i think it is, OR he didnt know how to drive...

so not many details...but you know what turbo he was using and about his rods and pistons....oook then

what year was the prelude? vtec or non vtec?

IMO...if he was running that kind of stuff, it shoulda been a lot closer race than that
your saying he was putting down over 300 hp at the wheels...and he lost to you by 4 car lengths.
I'll believe it when i see it...

my 91 prelude keeps up with some 6G celicas...and no, not just the ST's those things are slower than hell
