I have seen a topic on the Prelude asking if they would come back i dont know but i wish they would. But there was something in the fist asking a bout a targa top well i found a really nice one that i thought that yall would like.

http://hondaprelude.sitemynet.com/index.html Go here and then go to concepts on the next page.

There happenes to be something at the end of the concepts page that really pisses me off.

Honestly, I didn't like any of those concepts. Two seemed to be dropped "pimp" versions and the wagon looked like it would be best used for testing out car crushers. But thats just me :wink: I DO hope they bring it back still.

As for the wagon prelude if it ever goes in to production i will hunt down and kill him.
Still i dont really like the conv.,but i do like the targa top it dosent look that bad i mean i really dont think that it will ever come out droped and with the rims on it but it it looked like the stock prelude and with the targa top it would look damn good.

Damn, I thought that a targa top Prelude would be a gude idea, but now I'm not sure. I guess a Delsol w/ a Prelude H22 VTEC would be a lot nicer looking.

how can yall not like the way it is set up i love it

The concepts suck, but the car is sweet. The thing drives like a v6. Personally I like the 4th gens better.. because of the style.. but thats my choice. BTW, is fuel injection stock on preludes? I have a 94 si

Well i have never heard of that type of fuel injection i have heard of EFI

I like the 5th Gens

the best thing about the BB6 is the H22A engine....
i sometimes drive my BB6 on track and it can keep up with a lot of turbo cars... it was a track with a lot of bends though....

i thought the targa concept was ok....
but definately not the station wagon....

Honda seems to be going the route of totally redesigning cars. This leads me to believe if they do bring back the Prelude, which I honestly hope they do, it will be a totally different car than what we have seen. Civic Type-R, the RSX, Accord, and the NSX have all been just about completely new cars, the Prelude will most likey follow suit if it's ever put back.

ya i would love to see it back too and i am willing to bet that it will be redone too.

The last gen Prelude was UGLY, what was up with those headlamps?

The prelude is an up-scale Civic. You get a more powerful VTEC engine and better styling. Not to mention you wont look like a ricer. 8)

the prelude is not just a bumped up civic it is so much more yes if you want to go that way then you could call all hondas civcs and so on but it not V-tech was built and tested on the prelude and it is faster better built and not to fact they look so much better.
also all most evert thing honda tested was on the prelude.

the headlamps are alright but i think without any bodykit the prelude does look a bit strange..
but with the full bodykit it's just like another car...

OK, I was wondering, for those of you that know about preludes... I have a 1994 Prelude SI (2.2l 160hp) and I was wondering what is the best way to get around 100hp without adding a turbo?? (I already have a basic intake upgrade, but if something like an HKS upgrade will make a big difference please tell me). I know that NOS can do wonders but its not exactly safe.. please list alternatives if you have any. Thanks. :D

well with out a turbo you could get new cams new high comp. pistons and rods cam gears port the head and

Really if you want to bump up the power with out a turbo then for real hp you will need new cam gears, pistions, rods, valve trane, there are a lot of things you can do besides a turbo.

an engine transplant would be an option.........
the H22A from the prelude VTiR...

Yeah, look to SKunk2, Neuspeed, and Mugen(if you can) and see what products they offer. I know that amongst those companies there are plenty of N/A tuning mods avaiable. Or yeah, you could try for a JDM transplant :lol:

Thanks for input! I will look into pistons, rod and that kind of stuff. :) OK, I was looking at Skunk... I really like their stuff.. would changing the springs and small stuff like that really make a difference in power? like 5 or so hp? BTW, what do you think about HKS.. I looked at their intake and exhaust systems.. they look awesome.. what are your thoughts? I could make an RB26DETT conversion... only 5k. :twisted: :twisted:
Thanks,
Matt

you could but your best bet would be to keep the engin you have springs and what not wont really do that much all they really do is stop the spring from being compressed so far that they dont push down and close the valve. but if you are just looking for a but more then yes some of the best stuff you could do is do your intake really i have found that the best way is just find a shop buy a header and a tip, high flow cat and header take it in and let them put in a good sized pipe and there you go. Now you can get air in and all the bad stuff out then you can look in to some more high tech stuff. Like cams pistions rods crank stuff like that.

really though if you are looking to do all that and you are going to do engin work then you could just get low pistions and rods and turb it but i dont think thats what you are looking for.
places to look for parts I like AEM greddy skunk2
If you really want to do some stuff let me know and i will put up all the really good sites where i got all the stuff for my prelude.

The guy that installed my exhaust removed the cat... thats a big problem isn't it? :( But I heard it can greatly improve performance because it regulates the fuel/air mixture to be cleaner. Besides the fact that the cat slows down the airflow.. I heard it can improve performance, and hp by like 30hp. I'll look for stuff on AEM... I would like to hear ur list of stuff though on your 4th gen or 5th gen if thats what you have. :)

please, list away. I'm curious as well as to how you've tuned that baby :wink: Any dyno testing?

Removing a cat will not give you ANYWHERE near 30 hp...MAYBE 1 or 2 if your lucky. I tried a few setups on my car and I found GOOD high flow cats dont loose ANY hp and I actaully gained 2 lbs ft of torque. Removing the cats will make the car fail emmissions, lose mpg, stink of gasoline and do absolutly nothing. Gaining big hp by removing cats is a old myth.

Yeah, I agree with Blucam. Don't remove your cats ppl!

totally agreed...
the gases actually causes cancer if not passes through the cat...

ok sorry people it is lat i will post all the things later. How ever removing your cat dose work it creats less backPSI. and by doing so it up your proformance.

Thats FALSE
People assume less backpressure makes power, thats big time flase....
It can (and usually does) hurt power AND torque.

Then y arnt race cars and dragsters using cats?????
And how come when you get a cut out it is befor the cat????

You get more HP and TQ on the dyno.

Becuase of the state of tune and a thing called rules, and more and more race cars are using cats now.

You do what ever you want to your car, I could care less.:roll:

I've had my muffler fall off twice right after the cat converte so it was the only thing connected to the engine.r. It so so freaking loud, I can't imagine taking this part off and it beign under 80 decibels. It was one bdass sounding Tempo until I took it to the muffler shop :lol:

BluCam... I did NOT do this to the car. The previous owner did. :wink: There's no way to really tell if it improves or decreases the power unless you DYNO it and show me a RECEIPT. I dont want to hear that a friend did it last month. REAL PROOF. Anyway.. back to the subject... A way to increase power without adding a turbo to an N/A engine. BTW, It is ILLEGAL to put an old motor in a new car.. I dont know if you guys already knew this.. just kinda fyi..

I said I did experiment with it, on MY CAR....It was dynoed........I had my proof...as well as friends and other tests.....

Receipt?

Receipt?

What? Are you impling I am lieing or something?
I have made about 10 dyno runs on my car, and its common knowledge
to KNOWLEDGEABLE car people what cats do and dont do.....
Im not gonna waste my time "proving" it to you....

in the higher revs removing the cat might improve just slightly coz the exhaust gases can go straight out...
but it loses some backpressure which in turn affects the lower revs..
so the overall effects are quite little....

No, you are just implying that. I just wanted to see proof thats all. Im not calling you a lier.. I just would like to see the difference it made! :) ANYWAY, back to the subject..

Ok, so I broke down and decided to go with a turbocharger.. go to Asian and look for turbocharging... I talk about it there. No hard feelings Blue! :)

None taken dude.:-)

Holy Day of the Dead, Batman!

This thread is a little on the old side, chap.

By the way, the Prelude is still around...

Just look at the 8th gen Accord LX-S coupe. All that's missing is a nameplate.
