The primary applications of the Honda engine H series were the fourth- and fifth-generation Honda Prelude, 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 has also enjoyed some success as a racing engine.

The standard choices are all available at one of their network locations nearest you. My recommendation would be one of the low mileage used engines that came out of a wrecked car that was in excellent condition prior to being totaled. In fact. if the transmission is in as good of shape as the engine it is attached to, that would be a perfect combination to install in your car. Basically. the whole package could be slipped in as one unit. Purchasing both units together might even get you a better price.

Another viable, affordable and terrific way to go is what is called a JDM engine. This type of used engine, in my opinion is unbeatable. Since in Japan, the regulations on emissions are much more strict, at 40,000 miles the people in Japan have to take what we (USA) consider a low mileage used engine out of the car and install a new engine in the car or buy a new car. Either way, these excellent low mileage used engines and transmissions get shipped to the USA for sale.

They all get their emissions updated to US standards and go through a rigid pre-testing routine to make sure that not only is the integrity of the engine solid, but the electrical components are working correctly. When you call the gentlemen at GotEngines.com, ask them about A JDM transmission to match. Based on the mass usage of the H22A1 engine, particularly in the Prelude series of Homda cars, their should be an abundance of these engines for sale in the used engine choice you decide on.

My last advise is to understand more about what you want, become an educated consumer, learn more about Honda engines and Honda cars in general on our Blog. Trust me when I say GotEngines.com is more than about pricing only. Their commitment is to deliver, ASAP, a trouble free used Prelude engine at the most affordable price. Price shopping is good, but don’t let a low price blind you from long term success.
