yelp! turbo h23 shakes hard when i give it gas - Honda Prelude Forum

Snowman3karrotz · 10-18-2011, 12:05 AM

What's up fellow prelude owners..

Sooo I have a turbocharged H23 prelude 96 has 50 trim garrett turbo aem fuel rail bigger injectors... fuel pump ...fmu. blah blah blah..

Anyway as im driving when I get around 40 mph the car vibrates hard , only when I give it gas. When I let off the gas, car runs smooth. If its sitting still, its perfect, again, only happens when I give it gas.

(Its not the tires or mortor mounts, )

Super thanks in advance!

Have u checked the cv shafts these could cause a shake upon accel.

im having the exact same problem and after balancing tires and new motor mounts found it was the cv shafts. if you give it gas and swerve a little and the shaking gets worse then its the shafts

It vibrates hard right? The guy at this speed shop said it was my front mount I replaced it and then he said it was the rear mount, well replaced that too now he's saying it could be the trans mount. When u took u the cv shafts out did they look worn?

Thanks

sorry for the late response but glad to hear it worked out for you,my issue was that i had motor mounts so bad that my engine was actually leaning a bit to the left and that slightly bent my cv shaft but after new mounts and shafts im riding nice and smooth again
