turbo prelude

[prelude92rd]

i just picked up a turbonetics full setup for around $800(guy needed money) that has never been used comes with t3/t4 hybird, spearco intercooler, msd ignition and all the fun stuff from turbonetics( blowoff valve, wastegate, etc....), now i need a fmu and a fuel pressure regulator what is the best kind to get, and what psi should i run on stock bottom end(H23a1)? also i am looking for the full column gauge pod for the 92-96 prelude does anyone know where i can find them?i also want to run an engine management system but am not sure what i want to go with(any suggestions?) And am looking for someone to tune it preferably in the Ala, Ga , Tenn,Miss area(i live in north alabama). Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

h series are n/a engines so you dont want alot of boost before you build or else it goes so fast so around 7 psi to be on the safe side

WTF??? Some of the baddest motors on the planet are boosted H's man.

don't get an fmu...not tuneable management. don't worry about an adj fpr...stock is fine.

get larger injectors, walbro fuelpump, an obd2-obd1 conversion harness (call mainstream for those 3), a socketed/chipped p28 (i have plenty for you), and come see me over at mainstream in powdersprings for tuning.

feel free to pm me if you have anymore questions.

i'm really one of two or three in the area who actually want to do any thing to H series motors. most is b this and k that. i just need some help getting it so everything works good. does any thing need to be done to my axles because when we were gonna do the install i was goin to take them to get them beefed up a little

[BABY J]

You are fine w/ stock axles. It will be a while before you need to worry about those...

[prelude92rd]

will i have to change the radiator for a smaller one or will stock work? im just really new to the turbo stuff . ive been doing n/a along time..but this is something i really want to do so if i sound dumb for askin im sorry

[BABY J]

Just get yoru kit installed and dialed in... then go from there. 1 step at a time.

[prelude92rd]

thanks for the help, i will post pictures when we do the install and any more suggestions are welcome

i have an h22 turbo...

[93H22ACX]

is the kit for h23 or h22? just making sure its a h23 if your motor is a h23... it wont fit your h23 if the turbo kit is for a h22.....

good tuner i wouldnt go more then 8psi.... unless u rebuild the motor. get injectors, engine management, adjustable fuel pressure regulator, etc....

[prelude92rd]

i have an h22 turbo...

i said in my area of north alabama, it is for an h23 i made sure of that when i got it.

if you're in alabama...talk to Trackmasters.... they do awesome work.

they are from Huntsville...here's their site http://etrackmasters.com/

[prelude92rd]

[93H22ACX]

rushing + modding = broke engine

im just saying h series dont like boost at stock i didnt say they were bad lol i have a h22 too its just people complain about their h series motors blowing when they have stock internals

[prelude92rd]

rushing + modding = broke engine

im not talkin about rushin i want it done right but i don't have the extra time to wait. so thats why i want to go out of city. and i really don't want people around here to see it until it is done(people around here run there mouths, and i don't want to hear them) because trackmasters is a high traffic area.

Bring it to Import Source Performance and have Ed from balance performance tune it. But Ed wont be in town until next month i believe

[prelude92rd]

where are they located, cause me and my friend are going to tow both of our cars to where we are goin to have them tune them. it will be my turbo prelude, and an ls/vtec turbo hatch, and another of my friends might bring his gsr hatch to get tuned. Right now we are lookin at Mainstream Performance though

[scttydb411]

let me know as soon as you decide...next week is starting to book up quick.

x2 he knows his shit!! They have been tuning my cars for years.. He got the numbers in my sig out of my i/h/e h22....

[prelude92rd]

now i also have a friend who has a turbo neon that needs to be tuned. can anyone tune his ecu because he is runnin a stock computer

[Brut]

i never bothered with trying to boost my h23 in my bb4. i read alot around turbo forums saying that the h23 can't handel boost very well with stock internals. dunno if its true or not

edit: that guy must be really desperate for money to sell it for that much

[bjaccord]

The h23a1 is a decent motor to boost.
*8 lbs is close to its limit for safe reliable driving
*10 lbs can be done but your pushing it
*Don't use and fmu/missing link
*Programmable ecu and injectors is the only way to go
*You don't need a socketed p28 either, a p05/p06 is cheaper/easier to find and works great.

Good luck. L8r

^^ Are you from accordclub.com or hondasociety.com??

[99SI]

Where in North Alabama are you? I'm up around the Scotsboro area every once in a while. My girfriend is from Skyline and I ride up in my car to hit crow mountain and some of the surrounding mountain roads. In fact the pic in my avatar is at crow mountain.

[bjaccord]

^^ Are you from accordclub.com or hondasociety.com??

I've been there a few times. Not a regular though. L8r

[BABY J]

^^ I knew a guy w/ that same screename from one of those sites, or from the B15 site.

[bjaccord]

Odds are it was me then, cuz I've been using the same screen name for 6 years now and have registered on most of the popular sites, including those two. L8r

[BABY J]

^^ Yeah, I was "NEVR2LOW" on Accord Club. Had an electric blue 91 Accord SE (sedan) w/ H22 swap on airride suspension.

I was also the 1st (on Accordclub) to run the Gude Head Package on the F22. I think you asked me once if I liked the gains from Gude Head Pack.

[bjaccord]

yep, I remember you from like 3 years ago. Crazy that you remembered my username. I moved here from Minnesota like 2 years ago and just found this site recently. Anyway, I PM'd you, this is kind of off topic so... L8r

[BABY J]

kool. Sorry for the thread jack.
