Default All N/A 13 Second Owners

What have you done to the Prelude to make it a 13 second car?

When I had mine, my best time was 14.9 with an AEM CAI, Koni Yellow Shocks, Skunk2 Coil Overs.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Edit: 13 second 5th Gen.

Tuning alone can get you to 13 seconds with a I/H/E on an h22.

I was just asking what bolt-ons would you need, or what you have to do, N/A wise to get into 13s...
I wasn't expecting 13s with just a CAI lol

Just checked the entire thread, not one 13 second N/A 5th Gen Prelude...

Also, I did pretty well compared to every other 5th gen in there.

It would probably cost way more than a turbo or supercharger so what's the point. That engine, like most honda vtechs, is already pretty tuned NA from the factory.

A proper suspension definitely helps. It is often overlooked though.

Good luck, though its tough to predict what your car is gonna run before its running.

Gearing is another thing often overlooked.

I just have a real tough time believeing 13sec H22's with i/h/e. 175whp just doesn't seem like enough to do it. There are freaks though.
I would say i/h/e and Cams with some Drag Radials will do the trick with practice.
Doing i/h/e on an H22 and expecting 13's is just a shot in the dark.

dont know about the 5th gen....

but on my 4th...... the trick was weight reduction and tires.........

i have the boltons and then some.... jdm h22, partial tune, and an h23 tranny........

Rip out everything you can from the car and that helps..... i ripped PS, AC, ABS, Interir, Seats, ect......

I dont know what it is about 5th gens that slow them down, combo of weight and areodynamics i guess....
