This is a Ludespeed turbo for 3rd generation Preludes.

 

Have fun and good luck.

 

Looks cool....

I've never heard of that company Ludespeed before. Looks like it comes with a Garrett turbo, though. What size turbo is it?

Where does the wastegate mount? I don't see a spot for it on the manifold, unless it's the internal style WG.

 

It's a T3. Internal wastegate.
2 1/2 inch downpipe.
Blitz BOV
non-intercooled kit.
The intercooled kits come with a air/water intercooler since the 3rd generation Prelude's engine bay is too small for a front mount and associated piping.

 

t3 for a 'lude? Isn't that too small?

 

Not from what I've herd from people running them. The B20 and B21 have long strokes and run out of air at about 6k rpms anyway so there really isn't a need for a high rpm optimised turbo.

Using stock internals with the intercooler and running at 9 psi I've seen dyno sheets of 220hp@wheels. Plently of power for me and a huge increase in the stock 140hp.

 

Its cute.

 

Stock 140? I thought the Prelude Si's had 160 HP and the Prelude SI VTEC's have 195

 

That .42 A/R Compressor section will spool so quick!!!! Have fun!!

You're not going far enough back. This is for a 3rd Gen Preluse, not 4th Gen.

When did you get it? Ludespeed is still out of business, isn't it?

 

Yeah, 3rd gen is 135 for B20a and 140 for B21.

Nope, Ludespeed is back in buisness. In fact it looks like it is growing: http://www.ludespeed.com But I got mine from David Loi who decided to not go turbo.
