1993 Honda Prelude VTEC from North America - Comments

I have a 1993 Prelude Vtec, and I found the car to be by far the most impressive 1990s import I owned. I would hold it flat out in 5TH gear and hit the rev limiter at 8100 RPMS at about 147 mph, and if it wouldn't have had a rev limit, it was still pulling.

All I had was intake, exhaust and header. The car lit the tires up in first, second and third gears.

It's been down for a few years while getting a paint job, and now has 232,000 miles. It still runs, but I'm debating selling it. I have hardly ever seen any 93 - 96 true vtecs on the road, and I wonder how rare this car is, because if it's going to be worth something someday, I'll rebuild the motor and keep it for old times sake.

I have a 93 Prelude vtec... one of the first 100 built of that generation. I have 165000 miles on it and have had zero problems with it since its purchase in 95.

It's been a daily driver and it's taken to redline at least once every time I drive it. Get the hang of keeping the engine above 5000 rpms between shifts and you are just gone. I've whipped Mustangs GTs, sS2000s and just about everything else that hasn't been modified.

The only thing that has broken was the radio.. hardly listened to it anyway, loved hearing the engine. Watch out for after market mufflers though, some places like autozone and napa say that the same muffler fits the vtec and the Si. Not true. It fits but will hinder the performance. The Si muffler has smaller intake and outtake pipe. If your stock chrome exhaust tips doesn't fit snugly, then you have the wrong muffler. You can check Honda factory parts online at practically any dealer.

I had my prelude reading 160 on the dash.

Hi, I own a 1993 Prelude, it's an auto with 155 000km on the clock.

I just want to say that everywhere I go I get compliments about how nice my car looks. (my car has not been touched or modified in any way its 100% stock standard) I have not had any problems with it and it runs extremely well. The only thing I don't like is the back without a spoiler, this car is by far one of the best cars I have ever driven, and I would recommend that if you need a car the Prelude is definitely the way to go!

I own a 92 Si vtec and I have the same problem with the starting it up. It normally starts fine in the winter, but when it is the weather is hot it seems to have more trouble starting. Sometimes I will have to leave it for 20 minutes before it will want to start. I also have the same problem with the key, and the beeping noise will stay on when key is pulled out.

I have a 1993 Honda Prelude, and I can't figure out what is wrong with it. It was fine one day, and then I went to go somewhere early in the morning and it would not fire.

So I checked if there was spark, and it was only throwing a spark every 3rd time, so I thought it might be the coil. I went and got one (not the problem), so then I checked the wires and I replaced the fuel filter, and the fuel pump is also working. I went and got gas, and put it in and it fired up, so I thought the gas gauge must be broke, and thought it was fixed.

About an hour later, I went to leave and it fired right up, but I got about a half a block and it died and would not fire back up.

When I can get it to start, I can drive it, but if I hit 3 grand on the tach, it dies. I think it might be the main relay or the ignition control module.

If anyone knows, please let me know, thanks triciapehlke@gmail.com
