2000 mod ludes...

[A'PEXi]

even so, there are still 'some' modded ludes of these versions floating around, maybe not alot in oz, but certainly in the states... there may be a few things that could be done to improve it

Actually what has been said above is quite true. Their powerband isn't as large as the B series and one of its biggest weakenesses is its cylinder walls. If you planning on making big power (esp turbo) resleaving is something that a lot of people have done.

Sure the 2.2L is good, but there is a reason not too many people mod preludes for a good track/drag car.

nothing technical here, but the only reason i don't go for Ludes is cos i sat in one b4 at syd motor show and with my driving position, there's hardly and leg space for rear passengers and I care about that sorta stuff, hence i chose my accord sedan rather than a civic sedan!!

buuut that's just me! ops:

They go pretty well, but probably not that quick over the 1/4 mile because they are quite heavy, and its hard to keep it in VTEC from what I've heard (red line at a around a (mere) 7,500rpm.

Redline may be at 7500rpm but fuel doesn't cut off until 8100rpm . I shift at 7800-8000 when I drive hard and the engine is still purring.

what i can remember with my friend's lude, the redline starts at 8
dunno wen it cuts off but

[wynode]

Its under 8. Around 7.5 or so.

[Teggy-Vtir]

yeah? hehe okai i guess ill double check next time wen i get into his car

can we import prelude type S here?

[Tessai]

A 4th gen VTEC prelude is faster than a 5th gen VTEC.

they do 1/4 mile around 14.8 depending on driver and condition whereas a 5th gen is 15.1 at best.

Besides, i think my 4th gen is better looking too, not a fan of that retro boxy style in the 5th gen..............

[wynode]

The key to that being that the 4th gen (thats the one with the big ass right?) is lighter than the newer one.

[Teggy-Vtir]

a prelude is faster den a dc2r/dc5r?

[wynode]

a prelude is faster den a dc2r/dc5r?

No.

Once the Type R is in its powerband it is quicker than the prelude because of its weight and powerband advantage.

youll find that stock for stock a prelude is slower off the line, but one thing it does have is that it will continue to pull way after 130km/h, soemthing that b series cars dont...i remeber when my car was stock, a friend had a civic vtir and another an integra vtir and they both would get me off the line, but as soon as we got over 100km/h it is like they had stopped....my car would continue going....but they are more of a gt car, than a sports car...
