h23a1 engine mods
i just sold my speakers now i have $500. i wanna be able to give my car more hp. i already have intake, exhaust, headers. what can/should i buy. so please help me out and give me a list of ideas. thanks.
How about save up a little bit and buy a tunable ecu and go pay a visit to a local qualified tuner.
Civic ecu's are dirt cheap. Than you need it socketed and setup so you can pop in chips or do real time datalogging off a hub (on the chip) Thats maybe 100-150?? or so. Than go to a tuner. Thats where I'm not sure what it would cost you to get a tune done. Not much I'd think being it would be an N/A tune (not a boost tune)

well first off, dont let other people determine how you spend your money, unless its ur wife :-o
you dont need more power unless you can use it properly, soo
my recommendation to most prelude owners is to purchase a nice light set of wheels, and some quality tires, it will enhance your entire driving experience.
if you have wheels and good tires, get a good suspension setup, H&R Eibach... just do your research first, theirs plenty of information in the FAQ section.
but get whatever YOU want, its not my money

if i was in your situation....
i would buy a nice suspension setup. doesnt have to be real pricey, but nothing cheap like ebay coilovers. mabey some koni yellows with a set of nice springs for what ride hieght/comfotabilty you desire. then mabey a set of sway bars and new bushings...
that or a nice set of rotas and tires or whatever style you like.
as a younger person i always had more fun with a slower car with a nice suspension pushing it to its max rather than a faster car that i could do some damage with...

save more money and buy an h22 and build it and then thro the boost to it.H23 in my own opinion are a waste of time and money. Ive put countless dollars into my h23 turbo setup and finally got rid of it and built an h22.
