if you cared about your car you wouldnt get a turbo kit

Are you talking specifically to this guy or everyone who turbos a prelude?

 

theres nothing wrong with boosting a lude. you just have to know what youre doin. you probably dont want to boost a vtec unless you bore it out because with a 10:1 compression youll probably blow the motor... even with a mild boost. i dont have a boosted lude but my uncle has been using turbos and superchargers for years. the best thing to do is build the motor to suit the your boost setup. not vice versa.

 

no its fine to boost your lude, but turbo KITS are

While I agree that building the motor is a good idea, that's not to say that you can't boost a stock H22 so long as the boost is mild (6-8), and the tune is well done. Many people around here have done it successfully, including myself. If I had the option of an IC, I would certainly have one. If you plan to go turbo, then I would suggest an intercooler, even a small one. Anything you can do to lower intake temps will lessen your chances of detonation, and from what I've seen/read, that is what generally kills H22s (ring lands). Just remember that Tuning is key for your engine to last, boosted or not.

You can't just "bore it out", that requires new pistons. And forged pistons in the H22 means new sleeves, and well thats all about $1500, so you might as well throw in rods too.

Not safe at all.

 

when i said bore it out i assumed you knew what went along with that..
i just wanted to point out 10:1 compression is a little harder to deal with when boosting a vtec. if youre going to spend your money on a turbo or supercharger setup may as well do it right.

 

Anyone whos not willing to spend the money on a complete, efficient turbo kit will 9 times out of time... not be willing to spend the money on proper tuning/engine management.

Being cheap gets expensive when **** starts blowing up

 

Yes, very bad idea. Those gases recirculated are hot enough as is, the only chance of saving your motor (stock bottom end) is by cooling down those charge gases and not frying your rings by using an intercooler. Even with 6psi, don't cheap out.

sooo, what does boring it out have to do with the compression????

Recirculated gases?

yeah um what?


but if you don't run even a small intercooler then you going to have rediculously high intake temps and that is what aids in detonation. if you get too much or even alittle detonation on a honda motor say bye bye ring landings.

if you really didn't want to run an intercooler and you wanted to keep the intake temps down you could run water/meth injection, but something tells me that is alittle to far out of the picture for you.
