Hi there, i have a wee question i am puzzled on. My H22A prelude is off the road so i want to get stuck in about the engine to get more power its got mods to get 268bhp out of it but i need more. I adore my lude so i want to fit a turbo. Now i know i have my work cut out but what would you recommend to fit.
What turbo should i go for, intercooler, wastegate, manifold, injectors, ecu (hondata s200/300 sound good), where i start on shopping, garret turbo`s, hks, kkk, mugen???

Go to a machine shop, let them put iron sleeves on your block. about 600 usd total. eagle rods, cp 9:1 pistons. 750cc RC saturated injectors. t3 60-1 turbo. Any brand. ebay turbo manifold, get it reweld. tial wastegate. ebay intercooler/ intercooler piping kit. w/e choise of BOV. i rather neptune then hondata. stock camshaft. any brand valvetrain of choice. cheapest way ill go.

sounds intresting but i will check out each part to give myself a better understanding of what am wanting to fit. Thank you for the straight up advise and setup, just exactly what i was after. Thank u again

Q1 If my car is 268bhp the now what would that kind of setup give me?

Q2 People say my H22A engine compression rate is to high so internals would need changing but lowers the compression rate or raises it and what range would i have to be looking at to have a turbo safely fitted?

Q3 Do u still get VTEC when u fit a turbo and new ecu?

q1 - that setup will give you a good 100whp. my old setup.
q2 - i turbo my stock prelude with that setup and got 302whp - CNR in baton rouge la. this may be off topic but k20a2 engine making over 400whp with 11:1 high compression stock internals.
q3 - yes you will still have vtec with a turbo setup

I guess it wouldnt harm to get some internals done as i want to squeeze much power as i can whilst it gets ripped apart but not go overboard on the cash splash.

VTEC and a turbo could be fun and i guess its a bonus on other turbo`d cars

So by the sounds of things i am going to hit between 400-450bhp.

Well many thanks again for the advise, any problems am sure i`ll be back to ask questions

You can boost on stock internals but not much and not without a good tune, do some research, shouldn't be boosting if you don't know the basics, you're just gonna blow up your engine.
