I was just curious about mods for my 95 lude si aside from bolt ons and tires, its all stock and since i am new to the prelude world i was wondering if there are any specifics i should know about maybe the order in which i should upgrade what. My h23a1 is still in great cond with only 87k mi and i would prefer to go N/A and eventually get a jdm h22 in there but that definately wouldnt happen for a while or is it really worth it to just get it turbo ready and drop one in????????

well j00 gotsta p1mp y0 ryde how j00 wan it mang!

 

if you want boost keep your h23. If you would be happy with probably 10% power increase over stock get intake/header/exhaust. But chances are you wouldnt be, unless your ignorant. You would eventually turbo or sell your car and buy a faster one.

How much power do you want how much money do you have to spend? do you want to just beat all the local ricers or do you want to really drop some jaws. If you are serious in the import market and really want people to take a notice to your car and respect it turbo is the only route.

My philosophy, do it right the first time. Modding the H23 only to go H22 later probably isn't the best idea.

If you are new to Preludes, just drive your car the way it is and decide what you want out of the car. You will waste the least amount of money this way.

Don't get me started on turboing Hondas. It could get ugly pretty quick.

Good luck and welcome to the Prelude club.

 

I agree, setting up up for boost isn't easy, but it's nowhere near as complex as setting up and fine tuning an N/A motor running 12's. So my vote goes to the n/a guys

 

what kind of racing are you gonna be doin? drag, auto-x, road race, none at all.
IMO if you want you drag race, the prelude wasnt a good choice, but its a good road race/ auto-x car
and its the BEST car if your not gonna race

i wanna see someone do it with an NA h23!

 

i wonder if that would be possible........it would take a hell of a lot of money thats for shure, but i bet it can be done

 

i think the only way it would could be done is with a ridiculous amount of weight reduction. but then, the car wouldn't be a daily driver anymore.

Maybe for some people...

There's a ton of useless material on a prelude. I would love to have a tube frame street lude that only had matarial where it was needed for structural support...

Hawkze that "useless material" is what makes a prelude a prelude... I dont understand you guys, if you want a lite weight car just buy a CRX or hatch and drop a H duce duce A in... preludes are luxury sport cars, not tube frame G'ride mobiles.....You gotta have luxury while your breaking 12 s.. then you can shove your curb weight bragging rights to someone with a light weight car that cant break 13's. Take a challenge in life and dont ghetto out a nice car... go CRX if you want a go-cart


and if your response to why litening a car is good is all about speed.. get a V8 muscle car, they'll rip you a new a%% hole in 6 seconds flat, and theyre almost stripped out anyways. Import tuning is the way to go for just a conservative racer... domestic racing is for people that crave speed and love to shell out $ on gas every day.

Wow, I guess that soy sauce comment must have chaiffed your special place, my apologies...Anyhow, I'm not talking about some ghetto hack-job, but a well designed and thought out replacement for the outdated frame. It would be stronger and lighter than the original.

A CRX or a hatch will never handle as well as a prelude because they just don't have the wheelbase or the badass suspension setup that we do...I love my prelude and don't see how a tube frame would be ghetto??...Oh, right, all the G'rides with 24's and chrome door trim have full tube frames because it's cheap and ghetto, how silly of me...

This is a Honda forum, so we generally try to find ways to improve Hondas, but thank you for educating me, proffesor.

 

just get xzibit to pimp your ride...haha but it all comes down to what u want

 

alter the frame and you do not have a Prelude anymore.

It's like that ITR drag car with 3000hp that I saw on the history channel. The only thing that makes it an "ITR" is the shell that covers the frame and engine (not even a standard b18c in there).

 

yeah i like that "conservative racer" im definately not out to drag and to race the **** out of my daily driver, im just looking for a nice ride for the ladies the right mods and beat all those civics with b16 ls motors and a bolt on spoiler or the hatches (i actually drove a hatch with a h22a1 in it was probably the fastest car ive driven but it still doesnt drive nearly as nice as my lude and who knows i might have even gotten that car if it hadnt a been a total Piece)

there is a lot more to a prelude than just the options or "useless material." it's the looks, the suspension, the interior design, etc...

i think ppl like the looks and suspension of a prelude more than a crx. so they try to get the best of both worlds by sacrificing a/c, ps, etc...

i personally think crx's looks like crap, and would rather have a no options, light weight, good looking prelude.

 

just save your money and buy a BMW.... help keep my car rare

maybe so but nobody knows what your mods are at the track. 13 sec hondas are all to common when I go, and I usually see 3-4 hatches break into the 13's everytime I visit. To me speed is speed however you can acheive it doesnt matter. Im not into the oh well I lost because..... excuses. A turbo vehicle is faster and thats all that matters. Volumetric efficiency is the only factor to me. N/a guys are usually full of excuses "well he beat me because he's fi". Although its pretty cool when an n/a car beats a fi car it doesnt happen to often. Usually happens when the N/A car is running perfect and the fi car isnt tuned or running well .

Amen to you too, brutha.

I laugh when I see people gut their cars. The weight savings is pretty much negligble. I could understand if you were a competitive racer, yes, that is ok. However, a car that is used on the streets should not be gutted.

Look, mah shyt be gutted:

But it will all be going back. Just doing a little deep cleaning on the interior.

Oh well. You all are making nice Preludes rarer and rare by the day. Good thing for me.

 

Holla back for the socal resident . By the way, you want to buy an integra .
