just thought you guys might like some fun reading. this guy has spent a shitload of money on rebuilding his motor and got 145kw out of it on 11psi and is hoping for 200+. im a member of preludesaustralia as i used to drive a 3rd generation prelude before my skyline.

but yeah.. have fun

i dont think anyone would want to be a member of prelude australia :P

how much would he have had to spend to get 145kw from a honda, considering he went with forgies n that. and his running 11psi too lol

Well the answer is always gonna be -- For the cred

People often spend shitloads on slower cars so that they have something 'different'. It's common sense, that if you want a faster car, you start with a faster platform.

This guy obviously wanted a prelude specifically, that goes faster than most others :P

It must have taken him sh*tloads of heart-ache to get where he is, he probably deserves a bit of credit, even if it isnt a tyre frying monster! .... well, it probably IS a front tyre frying monster, but you get what i mean! :D

power to the bloke for doing something original.. but he would've gotten more out of putting an type r motor into his car and starting from there.

the only reason i did this was to give him a taste of his own medicine.. he put a poll up at once stage asking how UGLY another members car is.

WTF - I didn't bother signing up, but he's clearly doing something seriously wrong. One of my mates have a forged H22A and large turbo on his Prelude and did a run on 6psi (only tuned for engine run in) and managed a very wheelspinny 13.2 @ 186kph. With 11psi and a built motor (built motor is an advantage as on NA the tune is usually just to keep it alive) an H22A should be making some pretty decent power.

They are at least comparable to an RB25DE in NA form, so the same would suit for when a turbo is attached to a built RB25DET.

I think some people just have too much money on their hand or they just want to be different (credit to them for their creativity though) .Turbo charging a H22a can give you a pretty quick car if done properly, there are endless examples in the states due to cheap parts. But like the other says you will need to have a pretty deep wallet and comes with plenty of heartaches as well along the way. A stock 5th gen vtir is pretty quick for a na car (cause I have one) and I can tell you it beats a stock na 33 easy.

Haha my bad havent read the topic in PA just going on what the previous post said. The 89 ludes are very light plus turbo should be pretty quick on the quater.

My bad - sorry for putting you wrong on that :P

I had assumed that the only Prelude that anyone would bother turbo'ing would be one with an H22A in it. B20As are pretty poos.

I've got a couple of mates with stock engine'd Hondas (one a 1.8VTEC Integra, the other a 1.6VTEC Civic) both running 8.7psi (.6bar is a nice safeish boost level for a stock VTEC motor) and both do mid/low 13s quite happily and reliably.

Most cars beat NA R33s...then again Nissan relies on turbos for performance cars.

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      By Duncan · Posted

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)

      I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
