hey guys i cant seem to find an answer to this question. As u guys know, when driving a prelude (city or highway) the motor seems to stay around 3k RPMs. This is usually higher than most cars (around 2k).
but what i've been searching for and can't seem to find the answer is: 1. Why do prelude RPMs sit higher than most cars, when being driven? would the tranny have something to do with it? 2. is there anyway to lower the RPMs when driving? of course a way which would be safe for the car and be able to DD 3. Do all prelude engines (H22 H23 F22 etc.) idle like this? i'm not a mechanic or anything but i just like to know bout cars and if anybody could clear this up for me i'd appreciate it much Thanks!

Re: question!!
ive been told that preludes are more geared towards performance thats why they run so high. mine runs at 3500 at 70 m.p.h. at least give me a 6th gear for economy.

Re: question!!
not to be a dick, but this has been covered like dozes of times
1. Why do prelude RPMs sit higher than most cars, when being driven? would the tranny have something to do with it? yes, its all the transmission. its how the h22 trans is geared 2. is there anyway to lower the RPMs when driving? of course a way which would be safe for the car and be able to DD yes, you can do a transmission swap. or swap in an f22 5th gear because they are longer 3. Do all prelude engines (H22 H23 F22 etc.) idle like this? no, they dont. in order of shortest gearing to longest. h22/h23/f22
