Hey hows everyone doing? I have a 2001 automatic Prelude. The engine is stock as of now. I have around 3 g's to work with and was wondering what were the best things to add to gain the most power. Thanks

 

NAwWwWzzzzzzzzzzz!

 

Start with an AEM cold air intake, then get hedders and an aftermarket exhaust.

 

where is St. Marys?

 

step 1: sell the prelude
Step 2: take 3 g's and money from lude, put towards STI

or the alternative...a 5 speed swap, something your car should have came with stock

 

I say nitrous all the way. I dont agree with starting out with intake, exhaust, and header. After spending about 1000 on those mods, you will have gained about 7-9whp. If you are gonna do nitrous or boost, dont bother with a CAI, it forces you to bend or cut the opening in your engine bay. You can buy a nitrous kit with accessories for $850, spray a 60 shot and gain about 50-60whp.

 

sell ur car.. get a 5spd then get turbo

 

I heard nos was bad for your engine. What makes it so bad? Thanks

 

I/H/E are probably the most you can do with your A/T. Spending more money just doesn't make sense on an A/T car. If you are considering autocrossing, then use all of the money to get a decent set of coilovers and forget about I/H/E. The car is fast enough for autocross, if you can keep it revving above 5500 RPM.

 

If u did not pay for an extended warranty, I'd say allocate at least $1500 to doing a tranny swap. Manual is the way to go my friend.

I can point u in the right direction as soon as my swap is done.

you live your life a 1/4 mile at a time too?

 

Nawzz puts a hell of a lot of stress on the components of your engine within the cumbustion chamber, things heat up like crazy and you run the risk (if spraying too often) of burning rings, valves, etc. it also shortens engine life due to stress.

 

You could build up the bottom end of you lude to run

....as opposed to a super- or turbocharger? Whenever you add more power, you ARE going to stress the engine more. My vote goes to nitrous, or a 5-speed swap.

 

wuts up everyone. Yea so yesterday i got a DC intake, DC header and an Apexi Cat back. Then i decided to get a ZEX 75 shot as well. What do you think? My car is in the shop now but when i get it back i plan to install all of this? What do you think? And what do you think about the 75 shot....good or bad? Thanks

 

bad, buy a turbo

Dynamic compression ratio. Yah, love it.
Listen, honestly, trade your car in for a 5 speed. Modifying an automatic is an excercise in monetary masturbation; you keep stroking your wallet, but in the end you don't really feel good about it.

 

I agree get a 5 speed with some of that money, then save some more for a turbo! oh and can we please stop using the words naws and nos....its making me sick
