I want to give my prelude a little more go, I have a 01 SH and my brother had supercharged the car before. But after a few headaches and pains (blown engines) it was taken off. My question is what would be the smarter way to go, building an engine and going All Motor or turbocharging it? I just want everyones opinion and see what my options are. I would just like to make my car a little faster. The current mods on it are a AEMcai, mugen header, mugen exhaust, ACT clutch, mugen suspensions, ST Sways and mugen fan switch and thermostat. If anyone can give me some advice it would be great.

 

Since youve already got the mugen header and an intake, stick with the all motor route, slap on some big cams, better valves, EMS tune, and whatever else you feel would be worth your time.

Use the Search feature and you will find out a whole lot more.

Also look in the FAQ at the top of the forum and you will find sections on both NA and FI.

 

The mods you have on the car right now sound good enough. I wouldn't do anymore to it. Doing more to it jeopardizes its reliability.

 

dont know how much money you want to spend but i say get cams and good tuning.

 

underdrive pulleys, and a few JDM stickers will give you about 10 horse lol

go NA, you're already down that road, it'll be cheaper than going backwards and then turboing

not at all, it all depends on how much power he wants to make

 

since the mugen header is about as good as a dc, i say sell it to some jDm ***** as you would want a prospeed/an-r or better anyways, along with the mugen exhaust, that leaves u basically with an intake which isnt a big deal to let go of if you want to boost, NA is usually a little more reliable but it is expensive for the power gains compared to boost, so its basically how much power you are looking for which you have not yet told us...

 

I want to be able to run low 14's i guess, money isn't really a big issue. I just want my car to run faster.

 

if money isent an issue build the block a little bit, get cams, and spend good money tuning it and you should get low 14s pretty easy.

the mugen header is a lot better than a DC...
