i love preludes and i'm looking for a new car right now. My buddy says i shouldn't get a prelude becasue they are slow but I want one really bad. I have 5K$ and i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what to do with it. How much would it cost for parts to get it around 300 hp and what kinda parts. I definatly want to turbocharge it but i'm new and i dont really know what to do or get, so please help me out.

 

welcome to honda-tech...

1st rule...READ THE FAQ's!
2nd rule...USE THE SEARCH FEATURE!
3rd rule...READ TH FAQ's AGAIN!

 

Welcome. With 5k you wont be turboing anything for a while. That is unless you buy a cheap 3rd gen or 4th gen. With 5k your best bet is to look for a 91-96 Honda prelude. You may be able to find a 5th gen prelude (97-01) with that but It will be in bad condition and or High Miles. I say find yourself a nice 4th gen in good condition and chill. You should still have 1k or more to play around with. And what does your friend drive? Ill smoke him lol.. jk Welcome!

 

Your buddy is a tool. There isnt a Civic, Prelude, Integra or Accord that i would consider fast from factory. Every car will need work to give it some power. He sounds like an SRT-4 owner. Slap him in the face.

 

dude do u ever say anythin to help some1 out??? lol


5grand is a pretty decent amount of money. u can easily find a decent prelude for that amount. although ur probly gonna be lookin at a 4th gen si(h23 non vtec) in that price range unless u get really lucky. wut is ur preference as car as preludes go...4th gen(92-96) or 5th gen(97-01)? u can get a good h22a(vtec motor) for about 2grand from Hmotorsonline.com i would make ur 1st big step of buyin the car 1st before u worry about the motor though. but as anthony said, read the faqs when u do eventually get ur car. goodluck and welcome to the honda family

Actually, yes. More often than i should.

 

haha yeah. he has a 94 del sol with a b16 swap and new camshafts in it, a couple other mods but i dk off the top of my head. I was looking on ebay at turbo kits for h22 motors but i dk if they are s*it or not. He said he can turbo it for me for 2K....ebay its 1k so idk if its bad. any suggestions?

 

^ His avatar owns you. NOOOOO NOOO NOO EBAY KITS! stay far away

 

i wasnt talkin to u i was talkin to anthony...sorry caveman, sounds like some1 woke up on the wrong side of the rock

 

thanks every1. i was looking at 4th gen si and some 5th gen (hard to find with good miles) although i found one for 5K with 155k miles but thats all my money

LOL, i like that.

Rule #1. STAY AWAY FROM EBAY KITS AND OTHER MISC. CRAP! Your buddys turbo kit for 2k will consist of a hair dryer and toilet paper. If your going to spend money on a car, do it the right way because your gonna spend alot more to fix/replace stuff when it starts to go out.

A 4th gen with a H22 with a good set of I/H/E and tune would own your buddies Sol.

 

Yup 5th gens are the last of its kind, the sexiest of its kid.... Save up, Save up and get one.

 

personally id go with the 4th gen n then save up some more for the h22 swap. but im more favorable to my car obviously(4th gen) wut would u rather have a 4th or 5th? that answer right there will solve ur problem 1st


i noticed ur in bensalem...i might be down there this weekend for a hockey tournement. i go down there allllllllll the time to feasterville. we usually stay at the macintosh inn in bensalem...right by hooters.

 

i can get a gen 4 definatly...if i get it turbo'd from my friend, ill have that done in the summer because of my job... any suggestions on what to do after that like do i need any specific parts to make it run better with the turbo installed? next is what parts get the most hp for lower $$ (i wont have too much to spend)

haha it was good timing, that commercial came on right b4 i wrote that haha

 

i own del sol si's all day!

by about 4 car lengths!!!!

 

id worry about getting the car 1st...n then go from there when the time comes for upgrades

 

im trying to get the best deal... 4th with a little money saved up or 5th with no money at all, im STUCK haha. yeah mcintosh in is literally about 7 min away, where do you play at?

 

Dude, please hear me out. Do this for now:

1. Buy a 4th gen
2. Swap in a H22
3. Spend the next year researching and saving up money.
4. Then blow your cash.
5. You friend gets Ow3ned.

Alright now, lets not play my **** off!!

 

 

I need help.Can anyone tell me what the little black box is under the intake manifold on a 99 h22a4.It has some sort of vacumn hose going to it and from it.There is also a plug that clips in there that has 2 wires comming out of it.there is a red wire and a black with yellow stripe wire.I found where the red wire went and whoever took the head off my car before i had it pinched the red wire when putting it back on and it was broke.I have looked all over and i cant find where the black wire goes.Can anyone tell me what they know about it........thanks

 

Yes, DO NOT put a turbo 'kit' on your car when you're still a noob. Buy the car, spend what money you need to getting it running good and do lots of research on how turbo kits work...you cannot just slap on a 2K kit and not cause a bunch of problems. Do not let your retarded friend install a turbo either.
