try the new link..

well a guy from there has rebuild his motor with forgies and billet rods. around 1yr later and hes pulling 145kw on 11psi and thinks its a monster, so does the rest of the forum.

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.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
