Answer 1

first of all Honda stopped making Preludes everywhere in 2001. I have a 95 VTEC using the same H22A engine and there are 3 ways to go about it. The engine has close to 11:1 compression to start out with so option one is the high-revving, 200-250whp, Naturally Aspirated monster (High Comp Pistons, ported and blue-printed, headers, exhaust, intake...). Option B is a supercharger. Jackson Racing has a kit that develops around 300hp. Thirdly there's the turbo kit with the front mount intercooler. 8.5 to 9.0:1 pistons would be close to ideal because you can shove more air into the engine thus making more power. Depending on the size of the turbo 400-450hp is not unrealistic.
Bilstein and KYB go great with Eibach Springs for having your car handle like it's on rails. for the smoothness you might want to look at adjustable dampers from Tein. they're about $1,000 but you're car will handle just as nice as the shocks and springs, and you can also adjust the ride height and damping force of the set from inside the car.
Hope that helps a little bit.

Answer 5

wow lol. you people really don t have anything better to do then to find a person simply looking for some answers, and completely bash him/her over the internet. he asked a question, how bout instead of getting all booty hurt and lecturing, you answer this persons damn question or **** off... I mean damn that guy really wrote a small book ^^ bcus he is mad every one doesn t have 5 grand to spend on a turbo.... oh and btw a cold air intake costs anywhere from 50-200 dollars, a header is about 90, an aftermarket cat is about 60-70, then you can get a decent performance chip for about 250, last time I checked that s no where close to five grand. Sorry your question wasn t really answered. Dueces

Answer 6

Yea....like some previously posted 2001 was the last year that the Prelude was made...unfortunately. If all you want to do is street race, just get the usual I/H/E. The H22 has sufficient power to take most imports from stoplight to stoplight. Parts for this gen lude are easy to come by, so you obviously havent looked hard enough. Take a look at this site it'll help you out.

Preludes FTW!

Answer 7

To answer your question, alot of money, development, testing, research and enginneering.

Now ask yourself this question. How do I want to become faster for straight speed, and grip track? You can't have a 7 second Prelude on a quarter-mile track and run a five minute lap time at Nuerburgring Nordschleife (20.8km world famous race track located in Germany).

Your question is easy to answer for all the "ill trained" speed freaks. Go buy a magizine or jump online, buy parts you know nothing about. You did however buy them because it says "20 hp gain." Then comes the hard part on installing them yourself which you most likely dont know how to do because you dont know anything about exothermic reaction.

The scene of "street racing" was forged entirely around individualisim of having a faster car. But when the market is littered with a cost aware culture for fashion this market you call "street racing" if it continues its path, a turbo kit for any Honda engine will probally be on located in isle 5 at your local walmart store.

You say you love to street race, I say you love to be a poser. Just like skateboarding. You can wear your Billibong shirt and Vans shoes as you carry a skateboard around trying to be noticed as what your trying to be. The kid who spent his time learning more tricks dressed in hand-me-downs just put you in your place because he practiced, developed and tested new and old tricks. Same thing goes with the street racing world too. You can have the HKS Turbo kit that you paid eight grand four, but you still know nothing about what it really does. While the guy that just beat you built his entirely in a shop and only spent a fraction of what you pay for for several fill-ups at the pump.

You say you need to make your car go faster and you need help finding parts? Don't buy the parts magizine, go walking around your bookstore and buy a book telling you of the history of the internal combustion engines and how to properly accelerate the performance of the very motor. Do you own work. Or be like every ricer. Just remember, for every 60 ricer owned cars, theres actually one car that was really customized with innovative thinking that pulled away from modern "idioticy".



Simpally, there are alot of parts that people sweat and bleed to produce into an amazing part for performance. Marketeers, and you are their market. You will buy performance parts off ebay and when on the street call yourself unique and cool? Even if you bend your own piping your putting yourself away from the threshold name branders have. Doing your own labor, and know what your doing and why your doing it again is your own ablility over most ricers.

But just off why I can hear, you are, very clearly, a ricer.

Answer 8

you crack me up...so you want it to go faster with bolt on parts? but the best bolt on part you dont want...ok, add the intake, exhaust, ignition, fuel delivery, and after you have spent 5 grand on 50 horsepower, you might be thinking that the 5 grand for a turbo seemed more appealing. you might want to set a budget and figure out what will give you the most power for that price and not limit yourself to what is "easy".

Answer 9

Lowering for handling..strut bar/sway bars front and rear.

performance wise Intake headers exhaust..turbo...

Answer 10

yeah street racing thats mature. You wanna know if your car is bad or if you have the skills?? do to a drag strip. its legal, safer, and a true test. from what i see on the street a big wing will is worth about 10hp, a muffler 20hp, stickers 5hp
