pick one

want to know what would be a better car for the strip but still be a daliy driver you have 5g's to put in both
1: crx si 88-91

2: prelude 93 si not the h22 but a h23





thanks

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.

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

i agree

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.

his 5g is not enough for moding to a reliable turbo setup. im sure you can make your car fast but the faster you go the faster you break your engine. unless you spend tons of money making it a reliable turbo engine.

Search this website, there are people who have turboed their engines for WAY less than $5000. True they aren't boosting more than 8lbs but they are reliable.

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.

thanks for the support but his title says it all

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.

And how did you come up with that numbers? Just because some ass out there said it, that doesnt mean you can really get that much horsepower per pound of boost.

[unknownluder69]

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.
