im glad you like it..
the intercooler is in the back, i made a ram air pipe to cool it and also nos for insurance..
the motor is pushing 450 whp @ 15psi
planning to boost 25-30psi next season

lilbill97 · 10-23-2008, 08:13 PM

im planning oon 20-25psi on my 5th gen. Do you have any suugestions on what i should upgrade internaly so i can hold 20 psi.?

BBYlude · 10-23-2008, 08:13 PM

I like it! I'm sure it took a whole lot of work to pull it off so well. Welcome

G_Loc · 10-23-2008, 08:24 PM

Whoa thats awesome!

How did you route the cooling system plumbing to the back?

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

Tee-Dot · 10-23-2008, 08:29 PM

What's the back seat area look like?

two long copper pipe.

Tee-Dot · 10-23-2008, 08:36 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

skyyskyy · 10-23-2008, 09:19 PM

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.

SiccLude99 · 10-23-2008, 09:22 PM

simply amazing..

Yup, especially now that our cars are getting older. What suspension setup did you use for the rear?

Do you have videos??? Man its so bad ass!

When I was in HS I always thought a mid ship Prelude would be a great project. This one around the time someone did a CRX + NSX hybrid.

Sl33p3r · 10-24-2008, 12:52 AM

Wow....thats one amazing prelude right there...you just made it the way honda should have, and damnnn that is a sexy car!
Props to you man.

That's bad ass right there.

prepreludesh · 11-12-2008, 04:57 PM

I want to know why the hell this thread has so few reads on here!!!

289?!?! My entry in "member's rides" has 3,000 views and I have to admit, I shouldn't receive nearly as much attention as your car! This is simply amazing and everyone should be whoring it up about this awesome car!

Why don't you post more pics so that people will flock to this thread and see greatness for themselves?

tom27897 · 11-12-2008, 10:23 PM

^^^^^ agreed, this car blows my mind. simply amazing, beautiful, and innovative. deffinitely the most unique prelude i've ever seen

97VTEC_SH · 11-13-2008, 07:43 AM

well i have seen pics,in vids of this car before and i think most luders already have too.
Well major props to you. What was the most difficult part of it all?

red_98 · 11-13-2008, 08:18 AM

what is the f/r weight ratio? does it retain the prelude agility or is it primarily straight line now?

Some people just don't want too much attention I would suppose, or care for that matter.

the car weights in at 3000 lbs
the ratio is about 46/54
it drives and handles great but it is different from all my other preludes
the car take corners pretty good
the suspension is still in the works next season i have it ready for auto crossing
the car was design for overall performance
drag racing is my favroit

thanks,
i have to say e-brake because its still in the works.
i plan to lock up the front wheels for drag racing and lock up the rears for drifting
overall everthing was difficult in their own way
i did enjoy figuring out how to keep the shifter in the orginal position

it means alot coming from other prelude owners

prepreludesh · 11-14-2008, 10:46 AM

I know, I saw all your pics on your website, but I am so thirsty for more information on how you set it all up. I want to see how you routed your radiator hoses, fuel lines, what your engine bay looks like with all of that plumbing, your shift linkage, your suspension, and especially what your interior looks like with a huge firewall behind your head!

I love this car!

97VTEC_SH · 11-14-2008, 11:34 AM

nordic97mist · 11-14-2008, 03:45 PM

h23sdominate · 12-19-2008, 10:28 AM

ChicagoRSX · 12-20-2008, 12:13 PM

This...is the most...incredible thing I have ever seen! I just want to hump your car.

vipastyle · 12-20-2008, 02:25 PM

Wow! Extremely impressive ride you got there.

2toneBB · 12-22-2008, 07:44 AM

Thats badass!!!!

rickyh22 · 06-29-2009, 11:09 PM

This is Tou and I am proud to see you with a mid engine prelude. Always been a prelude fan since 14 and always wish it was RWD. Here it is with your lude. Do you drift?
