Ah, so you're in NSW, Victoria, or Queensland? It's a damn shame they use that system unlike Western Australia. Must be a large city thing. I'll PM you the other information about rules that we've gotten around out there for this setup, so it can stay on topic.

QLD buddy, can drive turbo diesel on p's and turbo petrol if it's under a power threshold and was stock but you still need an exemption (pain in the ***)

ESP.net

Eagle Rods... JE pistons/CP good combo... Dont really need to do anyting to your head but its safe to use SuperTech valve springs and titanium retainers to make sure everything stays insync on load. Or keep engine under 8k rpm. For your power don't really need aftermarket valves but could get some cheaper Ferrea 5k series.

Far as blow off valve a cheaper Tial Q will do you in the $250 range. For your goal a Tial 38mm WG would do you. If you wanted above 450. I would say a Tial 44 that would be sufficient to 700 hp or so.

Most important turbo.... I would go with something tried and proven with the H22 motors and that would be a Precistion 6262 t3. That would get you there and some room left over... good street turbo....

A single 255 walbro will get you up to 500-550...

Intecooler... Precision 450hp size should do you. Wont hurt to step up to 650hp one. Intecooler piping size be good 2.5" on both sides. Or 2.5" on hot size and 3" on cold side which gives you room to grow...

Injectors I would go with atleast 880s or/1000s either RC or Precision or Grams... Precisions will save you some coin. 750s might be lil too close for 450 hp.

Turbo Manifold a quick 4 would work. A lot of people underestimate these manifolds but they will flow to make power...

Ive been toying with H's for years... kinda know what works and wont dont

You don't necessarily need a volt gauge, but adding a boost and a/f gauge to your list would be wise.

This. A volt gauge isn't useful. A wideband should be considered a necessity. I'm also not personally a fan of the pillar gauge pods - cluster bezel pods are much easier to see while driving, and give more of a "stealth" look to the casual observer.

You also have a ? next to your ECU. Contact your local tuner, and see what they prefer. Everyone here will have a different preference, and we'll all tell you how amazing what we personally like is, and why everyone else's opinion is wrong, but at the end of the day, the only opinion that matters is what your tuner is most comfortable using. There are many decisions you can make for yourself. Your tuning hardware/software should be left up to your pro.

Thanks for that, Rods, pistons, springs and retainer would set me back $2100 inc shipping also what do you mean "Cp combo" sorry I'm a noob..
Also ill be looking allot deeper into the turbo later on thanks

h22z1

yeah realise now Volt gauge isn't that useful,
Ill be getting a boost gauge don't worry. Also i couldn't find any bezel pod holders for a prelude? They're all for civics.. sucks being here in Australia...
Also yeah with the ECU ill do what you said, hence the ? I was a bit confused haha.. Thanks heaps for your input!

The dual cluster one can work.. But all this is way ahead of the basics

There are also people out there who can do custom gauge solutions for you. You might want to try looking into that.
