Prelude turbo adding, any ideas, need info
Hello to all, i have a prelude 92 which i have swaped the engine for a h22a jdm engine, so know i want to add some more horse power and was looking into turbos, but the thing is thier not really a kit out thier that i have found for my car, so am guessingi have to buy stuff separatly, so i wanted to ask you guys for some tips in how to build me a good turbo system, with intercooler, controller the works, any help is greatly apprciated
I see red strips on your hood and roof. LOL. Tell me, how much horsepower does that add ?
You are not ready for a turbo. Sorry, the truth. First thing that came to mind is that you bought a JDM h22a motor that has high compression pistons 10.6:1. You will have to drop that compression by digging into your block, can you even touch a block at this stage of your 'car experiences' ? It's just a question, everyone starts somewhere.

RACE? 13.9x in an H22 Hatch isn't racing.......Its spirited driving at best.
13.9 bone stock is quick frehs build I race my car didint build it.its not racing what is it crusin on a sunday I aint on that side you might be . ur gunna be seeing 12 second slips in the spring.
It is what it is brother, those 2 number go together perfactly with H22a. When you got a good mecanic and a good tuner, those 2 numbers are seen all day. I dunno who does your work or tunes your car but thats what that setup produces its proven. 280+whp
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auVWMJ2R0E0 proven right there, from a Local shop
dynos are for tuning, not bragging.
Good mechanic/good tuner=Not enough
Once its tuned, then make a great pass.....Thats th real proving ground. Not some Rollers hooked up to a computer.
u dont make sence the dyno is right there my friend proven face it 300whp 8psi stock h22 i dunno what dyno your using or what kinda tuning you do. Who said they were bragging rights it is what it is.
Boosting a stock H22 is still drunk driving.......Those ringlands may not even make it through a Dyno session, or they may last for years.
And 12s in a Boosted H22 EK is still weak

We were doing that in an EK All Motor-Stock internals 7yrs ago.....
At sea level. True. This dude is in Canada. Elevation is a factor. The H22 civics around here (5300 ft) barely break the 14 sec barrier. N/A Preludes are running around 16s! The cars at sea level are totally different beasts.
STFU noob.....learn to spell if you're going to throw shots at me.

whats he figure he knows everything over 4000 posts and no useful information for me
lol ^^^ anyways shadowprelude92 you should look around and search for boosted forums... I was where u were, h22a and wanted more.... I looked around for at least 6 months into forced induction and how toos...and when your ready for boost go for it... All in all I would start out with a simple bolt on kit such as GReddy... good luck...

And saying they handle 8psi no problem is a noob statement.......and untrue.
People have destroyed ringlands with 5psi on the dyno and others have made 400whp+ for years w/o incident.
Sounds like you're banking on Consistency in metallurgy[and cast at that] and sometimes you will be let down....I understand your thinking, you're a noob.
My friends H22A1 @ 7psi was fine....turned it up to 10psi and it lasted a week.......
