I'm not new to Honda but I am new to building them. I really want to Boost my 2001 Honda Prelude H22a4 VTEC. No work has been done to the motor other than cosmetic, I really want to make 500HP built. I know I have to sleeve but what Brands and parts do I need to reach this goal. Is going to be a DD I know that's a lot of power for the road but that's what I want to run. Help would be very much appreciated.

 

Fuel type is a big thing here.
There are a lot of options that get you there, but if you want to do it safely and correctly expect to spend about $5000, but the total could easily be closer to $10,000 depending on a myriad of factors.

 

I run 93 at the moment.

 

Start reading, there are tons of threads and build of people doing just this.
My last prelude was just this and no expenses spared. I had 25k in parts and machine work.
I did all the work aside from machining and sleeving the block.

It was 500whp capable no problem.

 

Spend all the money for a fwd boosted car...with unknown reliability.

Why not buy/import a car that was engineered for boost?

 

In fact, this is exactly what I ended up doing. While the Prelude was down being built I picked up a MKIV Supra.....needless to say, once the Prelude was done it was up for sale. Ended up selling the Supra later as well because I could not turn down an offer now back in a reliable Honda
