Lol ok. From what I know Civics have half size single core rad stock. And I think Integras come with a full size single core rad stock. Performance wise, a Dual core will hold/flow more coolant and generally cool more efficiently.

Coolant as for the AC? or what? I keep thinking freon for some reason.
So with bigger headers, and a exhaust... It lets the air flow faster out of the car? thus making it go faster?

 

I think what you saw are preludes with 1/2 size civic radiators for your engine's antifreeze... sometimes people call them half rads, and yes they will work as long as they are a dual core to keep them cool.

bigger exhaust (header/exhaust) will allow for better airflow which is less restriction... think of it as a body.... if you are inhaling (intake) or exhaling (header/exhaust) through a straw you won't PERFORM as well as if you were breathing normally.... that's the simplest way i can explain it... if your engine "breathes" better, it will perform better...

 

I was also looking into, getting a new suspension kit, but what's the best one? coil overs? what brand? and what will it help out with?

 

BOOST IT !!!

 

having a hard time believing that.

AEM v2 made .5whp more than a stock airbox with a stock filter and the lower resonators removed.

 

I have the dyno graph

 

What is the time frame between the runs? Giving the engine a 10-15 minute break while making the next run at cooler engine and intake temps will in itself boost the power. I have a lot of experience running a Dyno and the charts are too proportional to come to that conclusion.

 

The runs were done with the fan off between runs, and before doing the run we warmed the engine fully, ran around 10 min of each other. We needed time to take out the stock intake and put in the new one. We did it very fast. Even if the car sat for a little bit, it had been sitting for about an hour or so before the first run. Difference in temp was maybe half to a full degree, so it was not enough to make a big difference. Ill look to see if I can find the vids we took and Ill try to get a time basis off of those.

 

AEM V2 intake or Type S with k&n filter and lower resonator removed ? i am looking to replace the short ram in my prelude that the previous owner put in. what do you guys think?

 

 

TEIN

Whats your budget?

 

I just got a job, I should have a grand + coming in.

 

Replace the bushings. Then go with KW Coilovers if you can afford! There very good.

 

Koni/Ground Controll's are great too and a lil bit cheaper.

Before anything I would recomend replacing anything that is worn. Like ball joints, tie rods, suspension and engine mount bushings, brakes, plug wires, plugs, dizzy, gaskets, ect.

Also, tires will make the biggest difforence in acceleration, brakeing and turning out of all the things you can do to your car. Better tires=More fun for the money. Ever on a stock Prelude. Have fun modding!

 

Thanks a lot man, my brother had sold me a eclipse (turbo, cold air intake, etc...) a few years back... He had toyo tires on it, they felt amazing.

And by bushings, (this is a dumb question) where can I locate them?

 

I was wondering, I was trying to install some new speakers.... But there is these two black bars in the trunk... Is there a way I can remove them?

I tried, and it was pretty hard to take off, and will it mess with anything if I remove them?

 

The bushings you will most likely need to replace are control arm bushings. Your control arms attach the hub/trailing arm, to the subframe of the car. They get alot of wear so replacing them will make a noticable improvement in ride/comfort/control. Just stock rubber replacements will do alot. You will need a shop press if your doing it your self, which can be had at Harbor Friet. Or have a shop do it and save the hassle, haha.

 

About the bars, you mean the ones attached to the trunk lid right? Those are there for a reason so dont take them off. I would look for some SHALLOW MOUNT speakers for the rears in a 6 1/2in size. They should fit...you will have to experiment. My little brother has the same problem in his '97 VTEC.
