A6 is mostly the same engine, larger cam, windage tray, different intake manifold and of course the ECU. That makes 15HP more than your engine.

Slap on a turbo and you should be able to gain 40-50HP with mild boost and good tuning.

With regards to speed aspect your wheels you run make a huge difference. Lighter skinnier wheels mean faster road speed. Then on that subject bulk weight in the car can be a difference. Replacing parts for lightweight and removing unwanted accessories like a/c, rear seats, spare wheel etc

the 4th gen prelude S came with a f22a1 rated at 135hp, the IM and exhaust are the same so the only difference i heard is the ECU heard this claim on cb7 forum and the benefit is small but with some a6 upgrades you get more out of it. (correction 10+ forgot the f22a1 accord is rated at 125hp sorry)

"Rated" vs "Puts down" are different things. It could very well have a more aggressive tune on it, but from this standpoint, it's moot.

Sure enough, looks like guys are doing it. I doubt the difference is noticeable though. Rated 10hp higher isn't going to really feel like much of a boost when it gets to the wheels.

No. But it will with one of these:
Evolution F2H Intake Manifold Adaptor | 29611

Also, a K-series intake can be made to fit with relative ease, too. Takes a bit more fab, but it can be done and K20A2 intake manifolds are cheap and pretty efficient to 7500ish RPM.

If you're going to change the camshaft, might as well get it reground to something more aggressive.
