Some Guy Rebuilt And Turbo'd A Honda

[SECURITY]

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

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.

[thommo]

still don't work...

[SECURITY]

just become members you lazy bastards

[Freddy Kruger]

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

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

[Piggaz]

^^^ Too much. lol

[siddr20]

heheh why not just buy another car which has already 145kw stock?? hmm a commodore would still probably beat that prelude..

[Primordial]

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

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!

haha hes the biggest wanker ive ever seen on any forum.

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.

[MattSR]

Thats just stupid...

By comparison, ive presonally seen 230kw at the front tyres out of an internally stock 1.6 litre B16a Honda on 18psi.. and 5 years down the track the car is still getting around on the original motor!

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.

he didnt build a h22a... he rebuilt the motor of the standard 89 preludes. the b20a.

lmao, kinda makes me wanna sign up now...

[Zoggy]

one of my mates has a crx, and let me say for a 1.6 L NA it goes pretty hard, he always threatens to turbo it just to beat me , i dont think that thing with a turbo will come close to my 33

[JUNR34]

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

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.
