Best first parts for my 92 preludesi

[PreludeRacer06]

I just got my first car which is a 92 Vtech Prelude Si & i was trying to find out what parts are the best bet to get on a budget of about $1500? All suggestion would help alot

'Vtech' eh? I'd say altezzas first, some LED windsheild wiper nozzles, a huge aliminum wing for the downforce you'll need from the power gains of the altezzas.. then maybe some stickers. A body kit wouldn't hurt either..

BUT...

for a VTEC lude, I'd recommend you do the suspension first. the car is already moderately fast, you might as well make it handle the power. Buy some good springs and shocks, or a good set of coilovers (not the cheap shit), and just let it all hang out around your local urban racetrack.

'Vtech'

HEHEHE, i think it´s better to read the letters on the engine again...


the most important are the springs, coil-overs. for suspension i would recommend eibach(altough a bit stiff)
next i´d go for , AEM cold air intake and a fuel pressure regulator.
a AEM fuel rail, and an Apexi V-AFC .
one the best changes would be the complete exaust : ceramic header, de-cat, and a better flow muffler.
I like the euro-tail lights... BUT HEY I´M IN EUROPE lololoolol

Hope it Helps

They didn't make the Vtec in 92, didn't start till 93...check the stamp on the engine it should say H23A, if it says H22, then it is either a 93 or a swapped engine...

[T-Mo]

It has gotta be swapped because SI came with H23A. Mines is a 92 also, but I will be putting a H22 in it very soon.

[PreludeRacer06]

Yes the engine is swapped with a h22 thats why it's VTech

[PreludeRacer06]

my bad i alwayz spell Vtec With an h on the end

i have a 1992 h22a vtec, and it has the original engine. its a Japanese import though, i think they started making them there a few years earlier than they did for the other markets.

1.) If you think Eibach Sportline springs are too stiff then you could get an Eibach Pro-Kit for example!
2.) There´s no need for a fuel pressure regulator with an i/h/e set-up. Especially if you get an Apexi VAFC with which you can adjust the fuel curve.
3.) There´s no need for an aftermarket fuel rail, too.
4.) Muffler alone won´t do much....get a catback system.

Personally I would start with the suspension because it will give you much more fun than a few horses more!
Most of the suspension parts available in the US aren´t available or street-legal over here in germany so maybe anybody else can help you out with that?!
