anyone?

 

thanks im gonna look into that

 

i like that OEM vis hood on ur site...

 

I got one, it's not to bad. The only problem I had was the tension bars for the trunk to pop open were just way to strong, I had to cut them out. It sucks now that it doesn't pop but o'well. If I knew how to post pics.......

 

thanks... i guess not popping it isnt too bad.. lol..

i really like the way it looks on a 5th gen tho

 

Check out: speedoptions.com, go on the left hand side and go to member profiles/ rides, type in 1997, select prelude. I'm the second from the top.

How's it going with the boost project? I'm in the middle of trying to do it myself.

 

its done, i just have to get the car registered( i took the plates off for winter) and im waiting for my aem ems... it should have been here today but i should be in the high 300s maybe 400 whp im going for tuning soon... well see, cause i got 550cc injectors n i dont know at what hp they will be maxed..

 

I want to run some 450's but I'm not to sure what to do to get them compatible, what did you do for your comp?

 

for my comp??you mean compression, or what did i do to get my injectors to be compatible... for compression i have 9.2 cr arias pistons 89mm and for the injectors i have RCs i ordered the clips with the injectors, soldered them in..

 

i think that 550's max out around 300whp.......you may need to up them if you want 400whp. if i were you i'd go with 720's or 800's.

you just need to get obd1 injector clips, and if you get high impedence injectors then you'll also need a resistor box. Have something to tune them as well........at least a V-AFC.

 

I had one... it's junk... bad fitment, bad weave, bad everything...

Compression, I'm getting some 450's off a friends eclipse what else? I'm happy with my trunk, the weaves not to bad, but the stupid manuf. put their logo into the clear coat, plus it got damaged in shipping all in all with the hood and trunk, not to mention all the stuff out of the trunk, I lost about 90lbs give or take.

 

how much does it weigh? and how much did it cost you?

 

I'm trying to think, somewhere in the ballpark of 8-11lbs maybe at the most. I bought it used off a guy on HT, paid $350 for it.

 

12 pds... (I weighed it). stock weighs in at 20 pds..

There you go.

 

I have a VIS Carbon F hood... I think its been on the car for 2 years, ive got a chipped corner on the left top. And the hood lost its protective UV Coating.. so im in progress of buffing and Clear coating the bitch.

If anyone knows a better way to restore carbon fiber please PM me. Because the only thing i see that i can do is get er ready for clear coat.

 

I had the JSP carbon Trunk the Driver side was almsot half n inch higher, pretty bad gap, sold it now I'm currently using a VIS carbon trunk, better but still a bit off...

pics..

 

i think we did the calculations on RCeng.com, at 85% duty i think they max out at 355 whp if i remember correctly, and if you raise fuel pressure 10psi, they max out at about 410.. .either way im getting 800s in the upcoming months

 

Very nice lude you have there

 

800's? One of these days I'll be there

 

get the vis trunk i think its a little more expensive though not sure
