ok, i know that the prelude aint the best car for the strait drag especially if its n/a but say that the simple bolt ons are done i/h/e and say p28 w/ hondata ... WHAT else could b done to make it quicker without spending stupid amouts of money... now i have heard that changing the clutch and flyweel and all that good stuff would make it "faster" but i wana hear what u guys gota say?!?!?!?

thanks for your input!

 

1. Sell the prelude and buy a del sol or CRX
2. Buy one 18c type R engine or H22a
3. Insert number 2 into number 1
then run 12-13 sec quaters all day long --- without a big turbo or highend engine build it just isn't goin happen in a prelude.....

 

keep the prelude. looks like you've done most of the basic work. a flywheel can help with accleration. if you want to go faster on a budget...try a cheater mitrous kit...

 

suspension and wheels.

 

it seems like u didnt read what i said specialedition.... i said what could i do without doing something stupid expensive... and and engine swap or buying a old crappy crx is not where i was wanting 2 go.... as far as "bang for your buck" goes u think a better ligher flywheel would b the best? oh yea i already have tein ss coilovers on it right now, so i think the suspension is ok... as far as nitrious goes, i dont want my car to explode haha and i want it to last a while...

any other things i can do... here is a pic, i know its faster without the 18" on it but they look pretty good i think.. oh by the way u think gettin a highflow cat is worth it?

 

I have a 9lb. flywheel on my car. The flywheel makes a difference in acceleration and speed since it does not weigh as much. Every little bit helps when you are talkin about our cars. However, I just made a general statement as to tuning a honda. The prelude is not a drag car unless you plan on spending ungodly amounts of money (i.e. oaksracing car) then it still is hard to break ten seconds. If drag racing is your thing then my previous post was just a suggestion- do not take it literal -- it has to do with physics it is a whole lot easier to make a 1800 lb car run 10 sec quaters than a 2800 lb car.

oh yeah I would not do the Nitrous thing unless you do not care about your engine and feel that you are going to be rebuilding it soon ....

 

you can do some free mods..if you haven't already....idk how much more performance they give you..but if your interested i know some of them

nice lookin lude by the way....i didn't buy one to race or anything...they are beautiful, bottom line...speed is just icing on the cake

 

You could get the rest of the simple bolts.

Pullies, Hi-Flow cat, Cam Gears, lightened flywheel, 2.5 inch header mod and I guess that's about it.
