Acura Honda H-series specs: 2.157L (132.7 ci) 4-cylinder, 87 x 90.7 mm (3.4252 x 3.5709 in) bore and stroke, 10:1 compression. Rated 185-200 hp. DOHC.
The Acura Honda H-series is close to square: 3.4252" bore against 3.5709" stroke, within 4.1%, which splits the difference between a high-revving layout and a torque layout. The 3.5709" stroke puts mean piston speed at 4,000 ft/min around 6,700 RPM, which is where a production bottom end is generally considered at its limit. Each of the 4 cylinders displaces 33.2 ci (544 cc).
10:1 on aluminum heads is in the range that usually runs on pump premium; aluminum sheds heat faster than iron, which makes the same number a little more forgiving.
It is one of 4 engines in the Honda H-series family, the smallest at 132.7 ci. 2 factory variants share these dimensions, rated from 185 to 200 hp. Factory fitments include the Honda Prelude VTEC (EDM), Honda Prelude (EDM), Honda Prelude VTEC (UKDM) and 4 others.
