- Honda H engine
The Honda H engine was
Honda 's high-performance engine family from the 1990s and early 2000s. It is largely derived from theHonda F engine with which it shares many design features. Like Honda's other 4-cylinder families of the 80s and 90s, it was replaced by theHonda K engine . The primary applications of the H engine series were the fourth- and fifth-generationHonda Prelude , and the fifth- and sixth-generationHonda Accord . It has also enjoyed some success as a racing engine, forming the basis of Honda'sTouring car racing engines for many years, and being installed in lightweight chassis (such as theHonda CRX ) for use indrag racing . The F20B, though technically coded part of the F-series family of engines, was basically a destroked version of the H22A. It was developed for Honda to be able to enter into the 2-liter class in racing.DOHC engines
H22A
The H22A debuted in 1993 for use in the
Honda Prelude VTEC as the H22A1. Versions of the H22A would be the Prelude's signature high-performance engine worldwide until the end of Prelude production in 2001. It was also used in the 1994–1997Honda Accord SiR and 1998–2003 Honda Accord Euro-R inJapan and Accord Type-R in the UK and Europe(however different cams and a different intake manifold were used in the Euro R H22A). The H22A in the Prelude Type-S, CH6 Type-R and CL1 Euro-R came with the trademark red crinkle finish valve cover. Transmissions between all Honda F series motors are interchangeable(with the exception of the F20c and F22c, S2000 motors)Specifications
