Im about ready to order some slicks. Dont want to go wrong with size. Plan on putting out 500whp on my 5th gen prelude. What would be ideal size ?

 

what set up do you have in your prelude that gong to give you 500 horse power because I am building a turbo prelude.

 

I have a Turbo, Intercooler, Wastegate, Blow off valve, Forged Internals and Headwork. Also Clutch/Flywheel/LSD and a Standalone Fuel Management system, not a bad way to spend ten thousand dollars...

Come on now, do I have to elaborate ?

 

what kind and size turbo and what kind of ems and what stage clutch master clutch are you runing and what size injector.

 

M&H 25x8x13 and get some GOOD axles and a twin disc clutch. haha.

I say 26x8x15 jsut because you have a prelude

 

god i just cant wait to get my car running and see what kind of times ill pull...i have to get into low 11's, slower isnt an option...

 

Cmon...ur being tooo modest...500whp with some 25-26" slicks u will definately hit some better times than that....hol up, what car is this motor in??

 

haha...Fat *** 5th Gen Prelude...w/ no A/C and CF Hood...

 

if you put 26's on there your gonna be breaking alot of **** with that torque. those tires and bigger will break DDS stage 5 axles left and right, ANY clutch other than the tilton, and diffs/quaiffe. and your tranny????? forget about it. start with the 25's and get the car dialed in. there are other things you can do to get out of the whole and cut GREAT 60's. plus, its the 1/4 your worried about, not the 60.

 

stock revlimit?

Try 1.6-1.7s, I ran MT 24.5x7x13s and had consisten low 1.7s and once got a 1.67, Skunk2 Integra Coilovers stock shocks and Quaife.

 

26x10 is the ideal slick size in my opinion. We ran 26x85 at 420 hp and ripped them hard. the 25x8.7x13 is a good tire to star out will and it will work well but I think ideally the 26x10 is the way to go for 500whp. I spoke with someone on here, I think luckyracing, he was cuttin 1.5's with the 25x8.7 he said.

 

I think I am going to try to get used to my car on 24.5's then get a set of m&h 25 8.7's (if these MT's I have dont sell) IMO I would rather try to drive through the spin than break an axle at the 3rd to 4th gear shift.

 

for the hardcore racer who's not afraid to break anything, the 26's are defiately the way to go for that set up. but the 25's will save you some money(on parts) and make you more consistent in the end.

 

True hardcore racer jinx will step up with ungodly sized slick like 28*10*15 and stuff. and break every damn part in the driveline at least once.. if you havent you just havent pushed the car hard enough.

 

REALLY? YOU HAVE A TURBO? Holy ****..even a WASTEGATE and BOV?

that sounds like any other turbo car setup don't you think? any more specific?

Jeff-

 

I guess you havent been introduced to sarcasm ?

the 13 is for a 13" wheel dia...the 25 is for 25" overall dia, and the 8.7 is 8.7" width...

 

i see so what size wheel would i want for that, 15x?

Stupid

 

24.5x8x15 is what i have used, and works well. I'd like to have went 25 instead of 24.5, but i dont think that it would make much of a difference.

 

Where is a good place to get slicks anyways, Summit doesnt sell 25" MT's

 

mickey thompson doesn't make a 25.


http://www.exospeed.com/ good prices on M&H 25" tires, advertises alot on honda tech.
