Modding a 5th Gen Prelude

[flylwsi]

i just saw an rsx last nite where i werk, and i am not really impressed with em... personal opinion though...
i dint get to really get a feel for it, but i also got to drive an m3 last nite, which skewed my opinions for a while...

yah, that RSX body design I need to wait a while to get use to.
kinda reminds me of how I hated the last civic hatchback but then I bought one last summer 2000 model. kekekekke. now I look at it and damn it's a sweet little car. hehehe. wife loves it.

I don't know about the GS-T thought because I know a buncha peple who have had reliablilty problems with their Mitsu's. They tend to start falling apart after a while. Engine included.

it would cost about 1,400 bucks. shooting 100-125 shot on stock internals with bottle heater purge vavle and some guages. jacobs n2o mastermind and some other little goodies to protect the engine. prolly muster mid 12's high 12's. I know an integra running this set up and he hits 12's.

Preludes are alot harder to do 12s than integras, they're not straight line speed cars...... and i'd rather mod it to 13s without nitrous..... then later maybe get nitrous for that extra kick

then run 12's with 100 shot n2o...trust me. its 300HP with 100 shot..Turbo'd ludes don't even get that much HP unless they are boosting 10-12psi

[flylwsi]

how can it be harder? they have a bigger motor with more tq..
and since when is 10-12 psi alot of boost? eclipses can run around 15 stock, and most stock turbo cars can do 12.. an eclipse on race gas (116 octane) can run 30 psi... so 12s on a turbo lude can happen...
hell... papadakis runs an h22a with a turbo and he runs low 8s... hmmm...

first we are talking about prelude engines...and also ones with stock internals..papadakis also spent butt loads of money on that engine and does not run stock internals..yea run 200 shot+ with different internals...yea then its easy...I am saying STOCK internals....not some 8.5 compression lude.
I think 200+ shot would do ya low 10's or something....its rated at 400HP to the flywheel..whatever thats good for.

hmmmmm....... interesting

I know that it takes well over 10k to make a prelude do 12s and it's just around like 5k to make an eclipse do 12s..... the prelude engine isn't as receptive to mods, like i said before Honda's purpose with the prelude wasn't straight line speed.... it's the over all package, the prelude is an amazing all in one car
