Looked expecting to see the car that one of the Colorado guys sold down to Texas, and same color but not the same car.

That thing gets going, never seen it before either.

Fast Lude... First time I have seen anything on the H motors and the 6266 turbo... gives me goosebumps to see what my fresh built H23V DC2 T46266 will do

Yeah - I'm frankly surprised I hadn't seen or heard about this car already...

There's quite a few 6266 guys running H2B in civics, but hardly any in a prelude chassis.

I went bigger - 6765/t4 on my car haha.

I thought maybe it was the old Oaks prelude at first, since an older video of the car shows it as everyone's favorite burple....... (My car was also burple before)

I'd love to talk to the guy, seems simply done, pretty basic setup and although I haven't see a sheet its obviously making great power.

Transmission was going to break lol... breaking points always been about 550 whp or so...

Cuff does help... id say about 50+ whp or so beyond 550... but no 5th...

I could only hope my prelude could be that fast one day. All it takes is time and money.

Could only hope what are you talking about? Just set a goal and go for it anything is possible with your prelude.

I need to re-dyno my car now that the head won't lift.

I made 575 at 21psi with the head lifting.......

I also need to DRIVE the car this season.... haha. I did pull it out of the garage last week.

bleong - if you talk to the guy tell him about this thread!

Name sounds familar. Looks to have our ESP Mount Kit on it

M2S4 H23A1 trans maybe? Mfact diff. Carbon Synchros.

Was curious because think you'd want a long gear trans with no 5th and a cuff...

Probably has a new final drive to go with the cuff.

He says in the video he's got a 4spd/cuff. Unsure about the rest.

I'm running your traction bar

i saw this video, this week. Draw dropped he was killing them big cars. Thing is nasty fast, i thought it was funny when the 1320 dude switched to one of the domestic cars and the guy was like "what is that?" lolol bet he knows now. I'd love to know more about the setup

Looks to be a fairly simple setup, just puts the power down well.

Fastest prelude I have been in on the street was ~640 whp, but it was on normal tires, not big drag radials like that, and it just scrambled all over in 4th gear, and 5th was pretty much scary at that point. With good traction and some small bugs worked out, it would have been insane.

Which of course is how I intend to have my car... someday....

Anything with tires that will hook on the street such as Drag Radials.... and will gain a good hook anything over 550 whp and 400+ trq... stock transmission carbon synchro'd up it's a FOR SURE Gamble a Gear or Gearset will go. Cuff'd up no 5th gear may give you 50-100 whp at most additional. Buy spare transmissions and parts and or save up the cheddar and go with an aftermarket LSD and a Gearset such as Saenz etc...
