If i got the GSR, i would do JDM conversion in the front, and slap a Vortech Supercharger on it. ***** to the wall power, and a beautiful looking car.

be wary of the JDM FEC, it's going to cost about 2.5x what you think you would pay.

that's pretty much all it is.. and not by much, if any.
GS-R's handling capabilities are alot better, imo looks is better, Bseries are more upgradable then the Hseries engines, you can't really get any bigger of a motor in the prelude but you can always drop a B20 or even the H22 in a GS-R or any other integra so the possibilites are endless in an integra but the Prelude gets cut short after turboing the thing... The prelude's downfall is it's heavy body, it's too heavy so it doesn't make the best out of it's engine.

In terms of upgrades its about the same you have a smaller market with the H22 but you will get more torque out of it.

the OEM is very very expensive if you decied to buy all the parts brand new from honda but this is the only way to do it if you want it to fit right and look the best.
The OEM parts alone should come out to near 3k plus another 1-2k for the install and paint its time consuming but worth it in the end just dont half *** it and make sure its done right and you will have a clean looking intega with the JDM front end.
also if you want the HID front end add 1k to that here is one place you can buy the converison and other parts.

I always liked the GS-R, unlike what most people said, not because of modding, upgrade, blah blah blah, but just for how it is in it's plain form...just a very good car.... looked for one and ended up in a civic...now my taste grew up and want something more expensive... something different ...like an STi or a G35 coupe/Z

H23A was never VTEC its a DOHC Non-VTEC 2.3L came in the 92-96 preludes.
The JDM Prelude Type S 97-01 is 220hp and was avalible in japan only.
You can Take the H23A Block And Add A H22A head Then You Have a 2.3L VTEC Prelude Engine but it never came that way from the factory.

Rep Power: 0 the real power battle in this poll is the prelude sh/gsr
prelude sh came with a really heavy automatic, don't get that. otherwise if both are manuals they will be head to head. I have a gsr and sometimes it is just a dead tie.

Sorry, but you need to do a little more research. The JDM Accord wagon had a
h23a with vtec I think it was the 4wd model 92?-97?. Wasn't talking about the type S.
From what I rember it was a dog because of the 4wd. There's JDM h23a vtec ebay right now I think. I think that motor is a little bit more rare then a type S kind of like a 5gen with 4ws.

With the revision, the 2,3-ltr disappeared from the sedan in the year 1996, which led particularly to a changed front portion.Dohc engine from the program. It was replaced however by a similarly strong VTEC engine. At the same time Honda offered a Diesel engine for the first time. The aggregate with turbo-charge bought Honda with Rover.
Two 2,3-ltr.Engines with VTEC technology were available for this vehicle and it gave suitably in each case two equipments. Each of these variants could be ordered also with all-wheel drive.
they made 2.3 single cams you know there was no H23A VTEC sorry buddy
