stock internals are very important when it comes to high boost
most important would have to be pistons, rods, sleeves, and valve train
also prelude motors have alot of problems with the oil gears breaking
going without iron parts would work but it would never last under high boost

What's the back seat area look like?

two long copper pipe.

Tee-Dot · 10-23-2008, 09:36 PM

Copper is a heat conductor, and heavy.

Just so you know.

no back seats, thats where the motor sits
there is a firewall behind the front seats

i know, cooling system was not a problem and weight was not consider at all
i added more than 300lb of metal in the back just for reinforcement
using copper was the best choice at the time for size and lenght

i checked out your site, have you been in any magazines? i know im gonna get crap for even reading it but superstreet dissed preludes and i think your car would shut them up, that 240z is awsome as well i think both cars would be cover material.
