Crane Cams Fireball distributor
AEM fuel rail and fuel regulator and filter
Skunk2 intake manifold
Koyo radiator
NGK iridium spark plugs
Crower stage 2 cams

Won't be anywhere near 350hp, thats for sure.

i doubt that will even get ya over 100.... im guessing about 50 at most? no turbo? you dont have h22 swap do ya?

yeah kiknit, havent heard that one before, real original. thats not everything i'm gonna do. thats what i've decided to get so far. thanks projectphantom for answering my question, read it more carefully next time people.

i'm thinkin about either doin a h22 swap or goin turbo after all. i'm not sure yet. how much would a h22 swap cost?

engine swap is between $1500 and $2500, give or take, and also depending on whether you get the transmission with it. Even with that, you're gonna spend a hell of a lot of money to get to 350hp on all motor, a real lot. If that's your goal, be smart, keep the engine you have because it's better for turbo applications (I'm assuming you have an Si with the 2.3L engine) and beef up your internals, then put a turbo on. That'll be the easiest and cheapest way IMO.

yeah, i was thinkin that. i'll probaly end up doin that, gettin a turbo an strengthening the internals. i've seen that video of the integra gsr with 515hp, used race gas though. so yeah, that would be awesome to hav an amazing amount of horsepower from a 4cyl

i've also decided to do a port and polish head and get:
AEM Ignition system
Drag Turbo, t3/t4
greddy intercooler
blitz BOV
S200 system from Hondata
and i'm thinkin about gettin a new fuel tank, i've heard it doesnt take that long for a lot of crap and rust to build up, about 3 to 5 years, is that true? steel braided clutch, brake, and fuel lines. new timing belt. 6 puck clutch, lightened flywheel.

isnt the h23 tranny faster then an h22? mmmhhhmmm blitz bov... god damn love that sound..... its like the cars having an orgasm....... how much mooney are ya planning to spend on it? no limit? its sounds like a beast so far.

i got no spending limit, every month i'm gonna put away some money for the car, however long it takes an no matter the cost, but i'll be shoppin around for the best price of course. and i wont stop til i get my 350hp. i remember readin in one thread the h22 tranny was geared to rev faster an handle a lower speed, somethin like that. might hav been the h23. dont remember.

i saw a 4th gen lude with 590hp so my goal is 600hp. he has
pfi sleeves
arias pistons
eagle rods
skunk2 titainium retainers
STR adjustable cam gears
3 inch ss muffler
TEC T40E turbo
drag cast exaust manifold
deltagate mark II wastegate
Custon 3-inch downpipe and exaust
spearco intercooler
oaks racing IC pipes
HKS SS BOV
Venom drag intake manifold and 92 lb. injectors
zex 30-hp wet nitrous kit and booster fuel pump
Walbro hi-flo fuel pump
koyo aluminum radiator
12 inch lfex-a-lite fan
crane Hi6 ignition
nology distributor, plug, and wire set
peterson dry sump oil system

well my goal when i grow up is to be a fireman

oppss...
wrong forum
lets all take a moment, and wake up.

its ok cuz with all that money i spend to reach my goal, if u had it ur civic still be runnin 14's 1/4

no not at all.
shows how little you know

with all that money that everyone is throwing around, why not just buy a new car? exman is right, you guys are dreaming.

nothing is impossible when it comes to cars, alls you need is money. theres a guy with a early 90's civic si close to 600whp. bugattis made the 1001hp @ 4800 or 5800, somethin like that, supercar. i'd rather hav a car i've put thousands of dollars, time, and pride in then spendin that money on another car.

i was thinking about doing the exact same thing, throwing 10k in my prelude and getting 400 out of it if i was lucky.

now i've woken up. my current plans call for a beat up old 86 camaro (msrp $900), a 350 crate engine with vortech heads ($2400), and more to come.

but just with that, its pushing 330 hp. more than you'd get even with a supercharged 5th gen. imagine if i used up all 10k. i'd turn it into fuel injection, build up the bottom, the top, and twin turbo the bitch. probably reach 800hp with even more torque.

its not worth throwing money into 4 bangers. i plan on eventually boosting 5-7lbs on the lude, but have the camaro as my race car.

that sounds real nice, good luck with the camaro, my buddy found a old bmw v12 for 20grand, he wants to take that an work on it. i'm still gonna go ahead with the prelude though, i'm not a big fan of muscle cars. the only ones i like are the vintage (60-74) mustangs, camaros, and chevelles (sp?).

with all that money that everyone is throwing around, why not just buy a new car? exman is right, you guys are dreaming.

with all that money everyone is thowing around, why not just give it to me? lol it will help out my project as well

yea why buy a car if u have no part in taking the time and effort to customize ur ride. thats like this stupid fuk at my school who bought someone's idea of what a cool car is. he brags about it all the time but he did nothing to it and made no decision on how it looks or runs.

600 whp out of a FWD is rediculus let me list the reasons why.

To get 600 whp out of a honda engine will cost you a rediculus sum of money and thats just the engine. Be prepared to spend a fortune on suspension tuning as well because with 600 whp in a front wheel drive you're going to need it. It will not be street driveable it wont handle well because you have so much torque been pushed through the front youll understeer alot. It probably wont be reliable and if it is prepare to spend even more money. Why not buy a car with more potential and throw half as much money into it to get a better result.

But I fully understand if you're doing it just because you love the car and want it to go fast. But jesus.

Also retard324 you're best bet is a beefed h23 internals the whole deal and a turbo to get 350 horsepower. Thats as high as anyone should ever take a fwd because beyond that it's rediculus. I dont think youll be doing the work yourself though youll be paying someone to do it for you so you can be proud you have the fast fwd car I spose but someone else will have done the work. True pride comes from putting in the wrench time youself. Just remember so far you only have a shopping list it will take a long time for all that work to get done a very long time.

who said i was gonna pay someone else? of course i'm gonna be the one workin on it. if i wanted a fast car i would hav bought a 3000gt or supra or something. its not gonna be a daily driver, its gonna be my fair weather on the weekends/strip car. i might buy a porsche from a police auction as my daily driver, and if theres anything wrong with it, i'll work on it.

for my goal of 600hp out of my 4th gen lude im gonna transfer my tranny to rear wheel drive if not all wheeld drive. im not that stupid to try and keep it fwd. but yea its all for the love of the car

How do you switch a front wheel drive car to a rear wheel drive?

i
its not worth throwing money into 4 bangers. i plan on eventually boosting 5-7lbs on the lude, but have the camaro as my race car.

6 cylinders are good, 8 cylinders are even better

i only need 4 cylinders though and that can produce an amazing amount of power.


Sounds like your trying to compensate for something (j/k)

you switch fwd to awd or rwd by a combination of expensive things including new tranny new driveshaft, new suspension, new break setup ( usually to compensate for the shift in power to different places)...and so on

Well I know the reason I wouldn't buy a new car is because of car payments, and because of voiding the warrenty. I would rather have a prelude that I could put monthly mods on than having to put all the money I work for in a new car. But, thats just me.

yeah this guy is planning on spending like 10grand on a 5-6grand car thats kinda retarded

2 month old thread guy, modifing cars is about buying a cheap car and puttin a lot more money than what its worth into it. take restoring old 60s muscle cars for example. you can find one in a junkyard for a few hundred dollars, hav you noticed theres restored ones selling for 35grand? people hav put more money than that an a lot of time into it. i'm guessin you havent read all the posts.

yeah but a honda prelude with a bunch of engine mods will probably decrease its value more then increase it rofl. a 60's mustang isnt even in the same category of modification bro.

sorry - gonna have to throw the BS flag up on that one. you cant tell me that a prelude with a fully build motor - crankin out 250 horse on pump gas will decrease the value. Especially if its the stock motor that was built up.

thats exactly what im saying because its very hard to sell mod'd cars due to the fact that it cuts the engine life and nobody will buy them besides males in the age range of like 16-28ish with a few exceptions

but they will pay a crapload of daddy's money for them..

when i bought my 94 Si with 130k miles on it in absolutly perfect condition i didnt pay a cent extra for the full greddy catback exhaust, 17inch motegi's, altezza's etc etc i paid 4500, bluebook at the time was about exactly that.

I don't care about resale value. If you're gonna put that much time, energy, and money (around 10K) into the car, selling it is just stupid. All you have to do is set a goal for the car and there's a good chance you won't have to part with it later on. Chances are if you spend that much on it and keep it a daily driver, you'll eventually get tired of it and that's usually why people end up selling it.
