Quick question. Does anyone know if this is a 2.3 or 2.2. This is in a 1995 honda prelude se. Basically what im wanting to know is this a 160hp or 190hp motor? A couple pics are below.

If its got VTEC its the 186 hp 2.2. The 2.3 didnt run VTEC.

quick look in the engine bay: injen intake, but the cheapest of cheap battery, a flex hose for the radiator... look closer at maintenance/wear items. seems like it COULD be an indication of the state of the rest of the wear items.

will do. I figure though even if it goes to crap I can always just throw a new engine in. The body and interior is clean

It's a 160HP engine, H23 block with a H22 head which would have VTEC; possibly, and most probably.

I'm not too sure about that. I know my friend had a SE prelude and ran great but he sold it for a teggy. I asked him what was the engine type and thats what he told me.

Easy way to tell: How high does the rev counter go before redline? VTEC performance engines will run to 8000+, whereas the econo engines only go up to 6000 something. Unless he did an Si/other VTEC Prelude dash swap, it should be easy to tell just off that.

You can tell this from the blury picture how?

Unless they did a head swap its an H22.

Engine code should be right under that flex rad hose. Little square with a code such as H22A1.

To me, thats definitely a H22. Unless like stated, there was a head swap.
