93' H22A Build

injen intake
tri-y header
high flow metal cat
2.5" exhaust with resonanter and muffler
hondata s300+ tune

thats like $3.5-4k worth of shit right there (cheaper if you buy used, instal yourself ect) including labour and tuning, expect around 125-130kw atw


and if you wanna be a deadly kunt you can:

3" exhaust
skunk2 intake mani port matched for bigger tb
70mm tb

thats like another $1.2-1.5k, expect 135-140kw atw


car would still be slow though because its a heavy ass prelude lol


my conclusion: leave it stock lmao

What lags the prelude is the gay ass gearbox in it, drops out of vtec sometimes.
Makes the car feel soooo slow. I had a bb4 with jun cams, higher comp, aftermarket comp pushing out like 145kw.
I would go for a final drive upgrade to at least something decent vs the 4.2fd

That's pretty far off my current budget lol. I don't know much about these .. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewi...id=65039441637 what's your opinion ?

Yea I know exactly what your talking about. It's avoidable though and usually drops from the chirp after changing gears quickly

My mate put a 4.68 fd in his h series gb, car runs alot better, though its not really a cheap mod for what you get back.
i'd hate to see the quality of the shit in that link.

I like the posts where people post up personal experience or where they have done a lot of research on the area.

When I talk about cars dieing from hydrolock, it's pretty much personal experience.
Although not my cars of corse.

I drive an RACQ tow truck. 1 of only 2 specially designed for high performance cars.

Whenever we get big rains, I can almost be assured of getting a hydrolock or 2.

And all types of cars. Everything from new HSVs with poorly designed CAIs. To the boy racer mob with AG pipe home made CAIs hangin put the front.

My point there is, just cause you bought it from a shop. Don't assume it's safe... LOL

I was not having a go at you my friend. Just merely a statement so others don't post up shit.

Here's a pic of the apollo kit .. http://instagr.am/p/f42zx/

So what do you think of the eBay full exhaust system for only $200 ? Will it do the same job as an expensive one?

Meh.... Wasn't too sure which way to take it....

If your tune is right< and all works well enough that you can bring your crossover down effectivly.... Gear changes without dropping out of Vtec is possable....

id rather look into dc2r box swap, now that would make the car a weapon !

Will a lightened flywheel reduce the chance of dropping out of Vtec during gear changes?
