What turbo should I get? - Honda Prelude Forum

an1onchigurh · 10-06-2008, 09:44 AM

so im planning a turbo build, and im planning a 8:0:1 cr (brand new block) running as much psi as i can, so what type of turbo should i get? I don't really want to buy a kit i plan on buying each part separate because i see that there is normally a weak link in each kit. Money is not really an issue.

so what do you guys recommend?

have a really bigcollege account and I don't have to pay for my college so as long as it doesn't to over 30k I'll be fine

lilbill97 · 10-06-2008, 02:03 PM

if you are willing to put 30k into a lude just sell it and get a GTR!lol

an1onchigurh · 10-06-2008, 04:01 PM

haha no i love my lude, and i dont really want to spend all the money on the lude, im budgeting half for it

lilbill97 · 10-06-2008, 04:37 PM

ye. 15k for your lude and 15k for mine?! how does that sound?

But i dont think you will spend over 10k unless you upgrade every little thing like oil pan, axels, etc

an1onchigurh · 10-06-2008, 07:50 PM

Well I am looking to buy a new short block and from what I'm seeing that's going to cost about 4-5k

That's another thing that I was wondering, is 8:0:1 too low? I can get the block with any compression. The car will mainly be for the summer along with shows and some days on the track, it won't be a daily driver, that's what my bike is for

lilbill97 · 10-06-2008, 07:56 PM

It seems kinda low. Id say atleast 8.5:1. Im using 9:1 in my build. If your boosting alot anywhere between 8 and 9 should be good though

rayslude · 10-07-2008, 05:04 AM

I wouldn't go lower than 8.5. Also, if you're looking for some mad power, the GT35r would get you there but if you want even more, the GT42r is the ticket.

an1onchigurh · 10-07-2008, 10:02 AM

Yeah I'll probably do 8:5:1, how far along are you in your build or are you just finishing up the planning like I am, either way your color scheme looks cool and you should post some pics

I should be done with it by the summer, well that's my goal atleast,

an1onchigurh · 10-07-2008, 10:07 AM

haha mad power it will be then

lilbill97 · 10-07-2008, 10:37 AM

I have alreadt gotten rid of my intake. I have a full custom kit. 9:1 pistons, etc.
I only need injectors a eagle eagle h beams. But ill def. Be done by febuary. Im only 16 so I have to wait for some christmas money.lol

first off dont go 8.0, go 9.0 at the absolute lowest. Second, dont run a GT35R. It isnt designed for our cars. You want to get a GT30/40R which will give you near the same output/power as a GT35R but it will spool quicker as it can be used with lower output engines.
