read this forum. Forced Induction - Honda Prelude Forum - Prelude Online.com

It'll answer probably whatever question you might want to ask. Searching is also a very useful tool as well.

Sick rims...

Yeah you heard right vtech and turbo's don't work well together. But a 100 shot should compensate for your lack of boostability, no tuning necessary what-so-over. You can even run regular if you are spraying, it's sick, just like your rims.

the 1998 cant handle turbo because of vtech, vtech isnt good with turbo if u want you could buy vtech eliminator cams and then you can turbo the 98. One more thing once you turbo the 98 can only handle no more than 8psi of boost.

First of all, it's VTEC, not a freaking cordless phone. Second of all, I had no problems running over 15psi with VTEC. Obviously I had a built motor but still proves the point that no matter how much HP you should be fine.

Wow, I guess I was just so irritated from all the other posts that I missed the sarcasm, granted one of the people that posted about VTECH has less than 50 posts.

My bad, as you can tell, these newbies are about to make me pull my hair out. I feel for ya Ken, I really do.
