omg their are sooo many things that you could do! but i will need to know 1) how much cash-o-la you are spending 2) how much boost you are wanting to run and 3) do you luv THE DADDY?

ps let me know some stuff about your car as well! how many miles, what engine you have and what you want the car to do......i.e. go fast top end, or bottom end, will this be a car that you want to set up for the strip, auto-x, or just regular daily driving!

One more thing, make sure that you have a dyno around your area and be prepared to spend a good amount of time on it.

Hmm.....dynos, pruven perf in CT. I got that much covered

I got a '92 prelude S. stock everything(f22a even though i said it was an f22b recently, i made a mistake). Its got 48k miles. I want it to be streetable, just higher power, and able to take on the normal ricers

btw, cash is not a big problem, it will most likely be done in little parts anyways. as in when i have the money i do something.

You COULD get your F22 to be fast, but with the same amount of work/mods, the H23 will be making more power.

I would consider getting a standalone or something like that if you want to go turbo. At least that'd be the first thing I'd get, play with it a while and then put a turbo on the car so you don't need to have all these piggy back or rising rate FPR stuff

also an engine swap would give you a nice power upgrade and would cost a lot less than a turbo...

ok so you have an f22a not b! well that makes things interesting! what i would recomend doing is an h22a engine swap! you can get the whole thing installed for under 3500 and you will see a huge difference in power
