Honda Prelude Type S reporting.

by honda-hardy, 19-04-2024, 06:05 PM

Hi all, im Sam from Chippenham, Wiltshire.

My car is a version of the fifth generation Prelude, a high-performance model called the Type S, painted in Flamenco Black Pearl. It was only available in Japan. It has the 2.2 L H22A, featuring VTEC and producing 217 hp instead of the standard 185 bhp. the increases came from the Dynamic Chambering air intake, a larger throttle body design bored to 62 mm, a redesigned exhaust system with 2¼" pipes. higher lift cams and higher compression pistons.
In addition to a higher output engine, the Type S features an overhauled front suspension layout with double lower ball joints to give a steeper camber curve when cornering.
Instead of LSD, the Type S acquired Honda technology known as the Active Torque Transfer System (ATTS), in essence an external hydraulic differential that splits up to 80% of engine output to the wheel that is loosing traction on the bend, effectivly pushing you back into the apex.
The Type S has an Active Control ABS system, different from the standard ABS systems.

This is how I bought it.

"Our target was a top 10. We didn't quite make it, but our competition was just a little too strong for us this weekend. We now just have to keep developing and improving the car."Not only was the race staged in challenging conditions, the Top 30 qualifying on Friday was also conducted in pouring rain with Alex Buncombe at the wheel.
