The factory radiator features plastic end tanks crimped onto a thin single-row core. Over two decades of thermal cycling, these plastic tanks become brittle, leading to micro-fractures, coolant weeping, and sudden catastrophic failure at the seams. Furthermore, the OEM core lacks the volumetric capacity necessary to shed heat efficiently during sustained high-rpm driving or hot track days, resulting in dangerous heat soak, timing pull, and reduced engine efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \n  \u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThis upgraded performance radiator eliminates the factory failure points by utilizing a robust all-aluminum construction. Featuring a dense 2-row aluminum core measuring 13.78 by 26.30 inches with a 1.57-inch thickness, this down-flow design dramatically increases fluid capacity and surface area for maximum heat dissipation. The TIG-welded aluminum end tanks ensure leak-proof durability, completely bypassing the crimped plastic OEM design flaws. Engineered specifically for manual transmission BB6 chassis, this unit retains factory 1.26-inch inlet and outlet diameters for a true drop-in fit, providing optimal thermal management to keep your H-series engine running at ideal operating temperatures even under aggressive driving conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \n  \u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e1997-2001 Honda Prelude (Manual Transmission)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eH22A4 \/ BB6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStock Output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e200 hp \/ 156 lb-ft (Approx)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e1494, CU1494, RAD1494, DPI1494\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n \n  \u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e1997 Honda Prelude 2.2L Manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e1998 Honda Prelude 2.2L Manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e1999 Honda Prelude 2.2L Manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e2000 Honda Prelude 2.2L Manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e2001 Honda Prelude 2.2L Manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eThe JDM Performance Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eDesigned to support the high-revving nature of VTEC engines, this radiator ensures reliable power delivery and maximum thermal efficiency without the risk of overheating your classic JDM chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50123193352440,"sku":"DS-E7JZB61S7","price":189.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/performance-radiator-for-honda-prelude-1997-2001-2-2l-manual-1.webp?v=1786041843","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/products\/performance-radiator-for-honda-prelude-1997-2001-2-2l-manual","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
