What is the record 1/4 mile time for a 4th/5th gen Lude without a motor swap? Im using a Supra term, but with BPU (headers, exhaust, intake...ect) what times would you be looking at then? How good is the handling for a Lude? Sorry for so many questions, but thank you.

Someone from hondaprelude.com has almost stock - cai/h/e/vtec controller.
He ran a 14.39 - very good; hardly believable. From the pictures of his car he had added weight too. That time can be slimmed down a lot.

Check it out, there is also dyno's if you're into that!

 

I had a mid 13 second N/A car on street tires, just only got a 13.90 run before I did a bunch more stuff, then blew up. never had a chance to get my mid 13 timeslip.

 

1993 vtec, 14.2-14.1@96mph on slicks. All bolt-ons, minor weight reduction, full leather interior. Never once opened that motor, 145k miles


[edit...........Then the turbo came and it went by-by in 20 mins... ]

14.5? With all that? That's really, really bad...bas as in not good. Why get the parts if you can't even drive?

 

That is a ton of mods for the time it seems. I guess Im used to a few hundred $$'s making a significant difference in hp and time slips. The Lude seems like a great car despite of that, I guess I need to take a step out of my 2JZGTE world

 

basically, a bpu lude will run mid 14's.

 

Actually.,

If you look carefully at my setup, you see where it says 14.52 BEFORE BUILD UP that means before I went into the motor! Which means that when I only had I/H/E/VAFC, that's what that means......... take some time to read before you post. I haven't run the car yet after I went into the motor ie; cams/camgears/pistons/p&p/clutch/flywheel/etc (Awaiting Dyno Tuning & Local Track to Open)!

sheeesh...

I don't see where it says BEFORE BUILD UP on that post...but my mistake, what are looking on getting now? I see low, low 13's, possibly even 12's

 

if you continue to read (tsik tsik) he says

Before 14.53@96.33mph
Now 13.??@??.??mph

so obviously hes hoping for 13's... 12's are unreachable with his mods.

and for my 1/4th, with intake only 14.8

CAI on an otherwise stock '94 lude

14.6 @ 96

 

Damn man if I don't hit 14's I will be pissed. Don't even car if it's high 14's I have a couple mods tho.

 

Agreed, and noway are 12's reachable with that setup! You need some serious power(or serious stripping) to shave off another 1.5sec...........

 

On slicks, no back seats, and a good suspension setup, I think a 12.9 is attainable. I/H/E and on front slicks, my friend ran a 14.2 in his 4th gen.

 

Acutally, looking over the list of mods again...I take back my previous statements...low 13's at best.

 

You do know that back seats weigh under a pound, right? That's in leather.

 

No, I didn't know that. I'm not a Prelude person, just flipping through some posts. I realize I'm not in my territory here so I'll keep my trap shut

 

aaah its cool, it never hurts to give your thoughts on the scenario. I was saying that not to be a d!ck, but to point out that most people, including me at one point, think that the rear seats are a good way to remove weight. Once you're in there, you realize they're nothing but a molded piece of foam!

 

14.1 bolt-ons w/ No internals No NOS

And now I have the internals to get me there............800 more mils to go

 

maybe im just not aware of some poo poo, but i just dont believe a 14.1 is possible with boltons. what all do you have done?

 

I think you're reffering to "ED_CAMDEN" that time could be correct, I believe he lives in Canada where the air is a little colder and denser.

The typical times for Lude owners with similar mods in CA and TX are in the 14.5-14.7 range.

 

My car will probably run a very low 14 now.. With h/i/ no exhaust.. But very gutted, but also has a 100lb rollcage in it..

 

I'm with you man... poo poo all the way!

I should have pointed that out. Sorry vnt...
