Re: H-series or B-series??
It depends on your needs. For boost the H is not the best platform. All motor it can become a great motor but the aftermarket support for the B is worlds more than the H. But I still say a H series just because out of the box besides a b18c5 the H will pull so much better.

And the factory rods in the H have been known to give out between 250-300whp while boosting a stock motor.
I would rather fully build an H motor for either N/A or Boost over a B. But if we are comparing stock motors here, I would rather boost a stock B and run the H for n/a.

Well the most N/A power so far from an H motor was a little over 300 at the wheel (fully built and tuned of course). And I've seen 230whp with basic upgrades and tuning. 230 is hard enough to reach with a built and tuned B20/Vtec setup.

factory rods giving out? give me some links because i haven't read anything of the sort on any prelude forum.
the stock motor can handle boost fine, its all about the tuning. all motor a H is pretty useless unless you have alot of money to dump into it. after its all said and done, you could of had more hp for less with a turbo set up.

230 with basic upgrades? define basic upgrades. because with bolt ons and a tune you wont ever see 200.

I spent like an hour reading threads like this http://www.honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2168311 and learned more than this guy knows.
Search around and do your homework. Over my years in the honda world, I have learned there is lots of B-series knowledge out there, but not nearly as much H-series. Take a look at peoples charts and setups to see what is obtainable for what you want to do.
