i was thinking about getting the greddy kit as well. But i think it spools up too quickly for my liking, and i wouldn't want to be in boost all the time with stock internals.
you guys are forgetting that the price of the turbo kit for only 2300 is WITHOUT the Greddy intercooler kit. The intercooler kit is another 1200. Also, you are incorrect that it comes with emanage. The Greddy kits come with Greddy BLUE BOX which is a piggy back UNTUNABLE box. Emanage is always sold seperately.
So, yes, the Greddy kit is around 3600 before install and other misc cost such as gauges and Timer.
Also, the Greddy kit is not carb legal. Any kit with a BOV is not carb legal even if it HAS a carb EO.
About running the kit and being in boost all day.... thats fine. I ran that kit for around 15K miles on a stock block at 115K-130K. The turbo does spool rather quck though
I was under the impression that the basic kit (with the intercooler option) was legal ONLY for Base 1997-1999 Preludes. Any SH models or 2000-2001 models are excluded.
black'n'white & KahnBB6: That has always been completely incorrect. The Kit for the Prelude was NEVER carb legal. The only carb legal kits that I know of are for the civic B16. The prelude kit has never had a carb EO and it never will. Greddy was pursuing it for over 5 years and they will not continue to do so for a kit that sells 1/20 of what their other kits do.
The SH does not work with it becaue the DP is longer and ATTS is in the way. As for the 99-2001 models, the ECU was changed so the piggy back (not emanage as some one thought) will not operate with it correctly. That is why those are excluded.

^^ hahaha ... I have posted this many times before. I called Greddy over two years ago and asked the same question. I spoke to Duong. It wasnt legal when I spoke to them then, it still isnt now and it will never be.
The thing with CARB EO is it costs a lot to have it pass. After near 8 years of that kit being available it will not suddenly pass. This is especially true for a kit that sold 200% less than their civic kits.
We all must accept the fact that there is no street legal kit for the honda prelude just like many other of the cars out there.
So what do you do when its time to smog the car??? Just pay the dude off under the table to make you pass? I would hope u dont have to go back to NA every time u smog your car... if thats the case then forget it

I'd like to hear more about the performance/drivability of the greddy turbo kit. How does it feel compared to an N/A H22. If I go turbo, i want it to be very responsive, not looking for huge power, just very little lag and good off/on response and transition.

Then its the perfect kit for you. It gives hp gains and it is very responsive. dont expect boost to slam you into your seat though.
Will I need to sleeve the block and get after market pistons/conn rods with this kit at stock psi? I have no intention of boosting it any more than stock. I just want a responsive setup with the low end torque our engines lack.
