Re: pick one
Well, I'm partial to the preludes, but I guess if you want something good for the strip, go with the crx, and with 5 g's I think you can do an h22 swap. I guess for starters that's what I would do. For drag, the crx just has the advantage of being a lot lighter.

Re: pick one
Unless the CRX has a B16 or B18 swap the Prelude is a lot better performance-wise.

Re: pick one
but i dont think he wants that, thank god. import racing is just now getting big where i live so lets not ruin it. I know u said its the h23 in the lude but y not the h22? If u could find one i would suggest that over anything especially with the VTEC its super nice. with the 5 g you could do a lot. such as start your way to a N/A car or with 5g you should get a pretty nice turbo setup and with the left over money ( assuming you do the turbo yourself ) you could build the internals enough to stand around 7-9 psi.

Re: pick one
Right, and like unknownluder said, to run around 7-9psi, I'm sure 5 grand would be plenty. You could even get a kit for 3 grand if you don't want to take the time to make your own.

Re: Re: pick one
you can only gain a few horsepower on 7-9 psi pressure. doubt if you can even feel it.

Are you kidding me? Where are you getting your information from? A general rule of thumb is that you gain around 10hp from each pound of boost. From 9 pounds of boost, you should see somewhere in the neighborhood of 90 extra hp, and a whole lot of torque, depending on your setup and what other things you have done. A conservative estimate on 9psi would be a 70hp gain. I don't know about you, but I'd say that that's a pretty noticable gain, and enough to knock quite a bit of time off the 1/4 mile time. |

Well 5g allows you to do a crx for drag or street a little easier than a prelude would. Preludes have a higher resale value and would leave you with little left to play with. you could buy a decent body for under a G and have plenty left to play with.

Re: pick one
everyone i have ever talked to ( including companies that manufacture turbo kits 0 have said that the general rule is 10 hp per pound of boost.

Hey now, none of that. There will be no new people bashing here.
