i don't think there is a 2.2 SI. the 4th generation preludes only the 2.3's were comming with 4WS. also there are 2 2.2 engines available for 4th gen preludes: a f22 which makes an eye popping 135hp and the h22 with 190 hp

I dont think there is a 2.2 SI either, the 2.2 is a Vtec powered. And the 4th gen ludes, the only with 4ws is the 2.2 not the 2.3 because I hvae a 4th gen 2.3 and it dosent have 4ws. |

this is the ebay auction for the car, and it clearly says 2.3 4ws and also states that its very rare.

there are only a few 2.3's with 4WS not all of them. and they are not called SI's. they are 4WS and no 2.2's came with 4ws

the 4ws is about as rare as a 2.2 vtec. in 93 there was the si/vtec but in 94 they got their own modle (vtec) theres also the 2.2 S thats underpowered by a 2.2 135hp f22 engine

so back to my first question, is this a good car to buy, is the 2.3 engine good for mods, and does the 4ws make a a differnce on handling. or should i just look for a 2.2 becuase the 2.3 only has 160 hp, right.

the 2.3 is a potential engine, but just not a h22(2.2 vtec) the 4ws is a nice feature, and you can always swap a h22 in later. there isnt as much high performance parts for a h23(beyond bolt ons) but what do you want from the car/maybe you only need the 2.3

U would find more mods for the Vtec than for the 2.3
 When I look for mods for mine, (2.3) I always find first for the Vtec. |
