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.

</TD></TR></TABLE>well maybe that was the prob..u only had a CAI for engine performance LOL..you'll need a lot more to get into the 13 range. Or just spray

 

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

 

Really? Is that so??

Please, please, show proof..

Or wait, maybe in a CRX or Civic Hatch..

No Lude though..

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.
14.9@94 MPH with just an AEM CAI, Koni Yellow Shocks & Skunk 2 Coil Overs

 

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.

 

use Vtec.... well my set up is on the signiture, first time i ran was 14.7, but by evening i ran 14.3, with intake+suspension

 

I'm pretty close with the mods in my sig, car still has the USDM H22a1 too

 

It takes and h22, some bolt ons and a driver who knows what they're doing.

I should have stated before, I was looking for a 13 second 5th Gen.

 

the only 13 second 5th gen I have seen had extensive headwork done. along with the general, i/h/e and tune.

 

ill be high 13s in my 4th gen, thats with 11.5:1 compression stg3 cams exc exc.

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

Gearing is another thing often overlooked.

 

mine went 13.90@102 mph. with jdm h22. aem cold air, greddy header, apex n1 exhaust, vtec controler,

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.

 

ive alread ran a 14.2, but this spring ill have more done and should be high 13s.

 

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....
