just got my 92 lude si like 3 weeks ago. i did a search on here for 4th gen 1/4 times but all i found were ones with h22's...what kinda of 1/4 time can i expect with a stock h23. also if i put on the drag 4 that is coming out this summer and boost about 9-10 pounds at the track what kinda time can i expect. My goal is to get atleast 250 hp to the wheels when my project is complete. is this highly possible wit a h23 or should i just save my money and get the h22??

 

keep the h23 and use the money towards turbo

 

so would that amount of horse power to the wheels be easily attained???

 

when i ONLY had a turbo kit, exhaust, boost controller, and slicks on my h23a, i ran a 8.8 on the 8th mile before i ran the quarter, which should be good for high 13s.

 

how much boost were u runnin???

 

go boost, youll feel alot better

 

I Already had a boosted car, i just wanted to know the gains of a boosted h23. i just wanna get in the 13 sec range for now. then do some more work later on when i have more money and maybe be in da 12 sec club.

 

I am glad someone out there has the same taste as I do. I also have a 92 lude. But I just droped some JDM pistons in her. And so far I am happy with the results..My next move is going to go turbo. I just not sure if that is a good idea since I have a much higher comprestion ratio. Since your going Turbo. Have you upgraded your brakes yet?

 

nope, havent upgraded my brakes yet but imma have to cuz my front 2 rotors are worped and it bugs the hell out of me when i brake. Have you got your car timed yet?

 

i was running 8psi when i ran the 8.8 on the 8th mile.

 

Do me a favour and let me know wht you find for your upgrade on your brake system. I haven't really look into it as of yet. But wht I am seeing, its hard to find rotor and calipers for the prelude. NO I didn't do any timing adjustment. Hmm now you got me woundering about my idle. Its been kinda weak. I wounder if the timing has anything to do with it..

 

oh no, not that kind of timing. I meant have you got your car timed at the track yet?? Sorry forgot to clarify that for ya.

 

Oh, I am not taking her on the track yet. I want to break in the pistons first. But I think I found my idle problem. I advanced my timing at 15 degress. OH home boy she is very purky.. so do you have anything else on your lude? I think my next investment is going to be 4 into 1 headers. And tips?

 

h23 turbo is great..... better than h22 turbo that's for sure.... had a friend running 9 psi on his stock internals (96 si) and it was making some good power.... go for boost if you can man

 

any other guys wit a h23 turboed let me know your setup and hp and 1/4 time.

 

Before my ringlands went on my h23, I was making 270 whp at 10 psi. I never had a chance to take it to the track though, but I think that power would be good for low 13's, maybe high 12's if driven well.

 

I hit 15.7 with bolt ons in my Auto.
after 6psi it was dropped to 14.9
I dont think you'll be running 10psi too long on a stock H23

 

Well i was only running 7 daily but my motor still only lasted about a month before I lost some compression in one of my cylinders. I thought it would last longer since I had hondata, but I guess not. H series stock pistons are just weak, so now I am rebuilding.

 

ok. with this set up will it be good for high 12's maybe high 11's at the track if tuned right:

drag 4 (when it comes out)
Nuformz block guard
440cc injectors
hondata 2b + 3bar map sensor
clutchnet stage 2 clutch
MSD 6BTM ignition
edelbrock intake manifold
aem fuel rail

with this i will probaly boost about 10-14 psi at the TRACK, will it be enough

 

ttt

 

????????

 

if you are running a h23a you will not need a block guard, you have a closed deck block already. if you want high 11's, plan on dumping at least another $9-10k worth of engine parts in PLUS gutting out your car and losing p/s, a/c, and a few other goodies. with the parts you listed, you will be lucky to run low 13's. i highly doubt you will run 12s with this setup especially if you havnt rebuilt your bottom end, you might prove me wrong but i dont want to see you blow a motor while trying to do so. if you are interested, i am about to get a set of wiseco CUSTOM 9:1 25over pistons, i can hook you up for 425 shipped with racing wrist pins. you will need to buy sleeves for your block though, i believe darton sleeves will run you about 200-400 for a set.

i was hoping to get low 13's with my setup. i wanted to try this setup for as long as it holds up. Then when something goes i was gonna replace and build the whole bottom end. but we'll see how things go.

 

i dont recommend boosting over 8psi on a stock motor, you can get away with 10 at the track on race fuel... but i wouldnt recommend it.
