What makes the Honda Prelude special
Honda Prelude tuning: the H22A VTEC and its European outputs
The best-known Honda Prelude engine is the 2.2 VTEC of the H series: 185 hp and 212 Nm in the fourth generation, the BB1. The fifth generation, the BB6 and BB8, sold in Europe from February 1997, kept 185 hp with 206 Nm in the H22A5 and H22A8. A 200 hp version followed in 1999, and the 200 hp engine in the catalogue is that European version.
Which tuning box you need depends on the generation and the output in your registration papers. The generations are known as the 4th gen and the 5th gen, with the codes BB1 to BB3 and BB6 to BB9. The ATTS torque distribution and the optional 4WS rear steering belong to the car, not to the engine.
The other Prelude engines
The fourth generation came in 1992 with a 2.0 of 133 hp and 179 Nm and a 2.3 of 160 hp and 209 Nm. The 2.2 VTEC of the BB1 followed in January 1993. The 212 Nm BB1 version of the 2.2 VTEC is not in the catalogue. The fifth generation kept the 2.0 with 133 hp.
With the GAN GA+ the 2.3 reaches 179 hp and 234 Nm and the 2.0 reaches 149 hp and 200 Nm. The H22A5 and H22A8 were European engines, recognisable by their red valve covers. In Germany the fifth generation was sold until the end of 2000, while production ran until 2002. The 2.0 e:HEV of the sixth generation, the hybrid coupé sold in Europe since January 2026, is not in the catalogue.
Honda Prelude chip tuning: questions
Prelude 2.2 VTEC chip tuning: how much more power does it get?
On the 185 hp version the GAN GA+ takes 185 hp and 206 Nm to 207 hp and 231 Nm. With the GAN GA+, the stated gain for this engine type is up to 12% more power. These are the stated gains for this engine type, not a dyno reading of your car.
Which version do I choose to tune a Honda Prelude, the 185 hp or the 200 hp?
Choose by the output in your papers: 185 hp for the H22A5 and H22A8 or 200 hp for the version added in 1999.
Is the Prelude IV with the 2.3 or the 2.0 covered?
The 2.3 with 160 hp and the 2.0 with 133 hp are both in the catalogue, each with the GAN GA+.
How much power does the GAN GA+ add to the 200 hp Prelude?
With the GAN GA+ the 200 hp version with 210 Nm reaches 224 hp and 235 Nm.
Is a tuning module the same as a Stage 1 tune?
Not quite. Stage 1 usually means an ECU remap without replacing any parts. The tuning module also works without replacing parts, but it does not change the ECU software: it adjusts the sensor signals, comes off in about a minute, and the OFF button in the app restores the factory settings.
