Well that's like the idiot at Autozone that told me his 91 Integra is a Type R...and don't you know that 91 is the only year ITRs were made? LOL.
This kid argued up and down with me about it and I finally said **** it.."Look, don't argue with me about Honda ****. You'd better go and flip thru some service manuals or something before you start talking ****. As a matter of fact, why don't you do me a favor and look up and air filter for a 91 ITR?"

no such thing as an H21 in any Prelude, USDM, JDM etc.... in 91 there were B21s, but they were garbage. no Honda car, to my knowledge, has ever come with a factory turbo, especially not the Prelude, and TRUST ME, i know Preludes

Honda City did. No USDM car ever did, and no Preludes ever did. Honda will never make a turbo street car.

There was also an older Honda Legend that came with turbos standard. The Honda Dunk (small mini-MPV) that they're selling in Japan right now comes standard with a turbo. I've seen 2 in Thailand, one of them Mugen'ized - very very cute car

No car did, but didn't honda have some turbo bikes in the 70's or 80's?

"Honda will never make a turbo street car". NOT TRUE!!! The new civic si is rumored to be turbo charged. 230hp. Same body style. Saw it in this months car and driver, or maybe it was motortrend. The mag with the shoot out with the 350z vs M3 vs Z06 etc

I think they are going to turbo it because a lot of companies are doing the stock turbo nowadays and they need to compete....

Re: prelude comes w/ stock turbo??? (dgonzals)
Everybody but Honda has been making turbo cars for a long time, why would they start now?
Kind of like the Mustang has ALWAYS been less powerful than the Camaro (I'm from the Ford camp too, not pro Chevy) but did Ford ever do anything about it?
As a matter of fact, what a bunch of retards there must be at Ford. I guess one day they were like "Hey, Chevy just starting putting vette engines in their Camaros, what should we do to compete?"...."I know, we'll make our cars even heavier, and we'll switch to a smaller engine that will take years to gain support from aftermarket manufacturers!!"

My other car is a N/A, 02 Camaro SS, with all the bolt-ons. Bring on that big bad 03 Cobra, (stock that is).
