I'm new to the preludes, i've had a civic si, and integra and i noticed that my integra seemed a little quicker than my sh. It seems like there is v-tec lag. Has anyone else expirenced this or am i just smoked out?

 

grrrrrr

.........let the flamming begin.

 

what kind of integra was it?

 

stock for stock the only integra faster than the 5th gen prelude is the type r

 

Is everything running correctly on the lude ?

 

He says a "little" quicker - so, i'm thinking its all in his mind. Maybe the gearing is just too different for him?

 

tobidashi ano chekaa furaggu te ni ireru...... yeah its in your mind, even a heavy a sh lude should be a lil faster then an integra excl. R. If u dont think its fast enouf do throw some mods on it.

 

Maybe he just needs to clean his VTEC solenoid oil screen. When they get clogged VTEC won't kick as hard

 

Does it only lag in vtec or does it feel weak before vtec also?

 

you should swap out for b series vtec, its smaller and makes less power, but it spools faster so you have less lag. And make sure you add half a quart of vtec fluid to your oil so you don't fry the vtec bearings.

 

......man i thought you were serious until I got down to the second line You have no idea what I was thinking - such bad words came to mind.

But yeah - you also have to check the caneuter valve also - if that doesn't work, the V-TECH will lag horribly. Also, try get get a 4" exhaust - it will help the V-TECH spool faster.

lol , man i hear those electric superchargers cut your vtec lag in half.

 

The VTEC on my 5th gen didn't pull for ****.

not my problem anymore

 

I can appriciate your opinions, it probly is just in my head. My integra was a 95 gs with lots of mods and it was quick as expletive, i raced i every day, maybe i'm not used to the lude yet. Bye the way my v-tec pulls like hell, it just seems like it takes a long time for rpms to get to 5400 were the monster v-tec comes alive, these must be high rpm cars. Thanks for your opinion.

its a much heavier car, that's all you are feeling.

 

haha did u do a lsvtec cause i know a gs came with a b18b1/2 depending on year model non vtec? maybe thats why it felt faster to you

 

My integra was non v-tec

 

I owned a 95 GS-R and now i own a 2000 lude base model. the GS-R def. was quicker than my current lude. i seem to notice that not only does the lude have more weight, but the gears are longer. my GS-R ran through 1st and 2nd like it was nothin. ive never driven an type R so i cant say much more....

stock for stock, same track, same time, same condtions, same driver, both cars are running strong the Prelude will barley beat a GSR but its mostly driver. The bb6 is faster than a DC2 TypeR from 0-40 mph after that the TypeR pulls farther and farther ahead of the lude.
