my na plan - Honda Prelude Forum

mcgill · 03-04-2003, 04:30 PM

ok so i have all the basic bolt-ons as you can see in my sig.. and i talked to dan from DPR racing, and this is the plan i have figured out: basically port and polish headwork with porthmatchin the intake manifold through the exhaust manifold.. with a 3 angle valve job.. and some skunk2 stage 2's... and a hondata ecu.. am i missing anything?

Satan_SRV · 03-04-2003, 04:34 PM

Why port the stock manifold when the Skunk2 will be coming out soon? Seems like a waste

mcgill · 03-04-2003, 05:40 PM

how long has it been coming out soon for?

CTPRELUDE · 03-04-2003, 07:03 PM

I would at least wait till the first of April before doin it. Skunk2 IM is supposed to come out by the end of March.

mcgill · 03-05-2003, 08:33 AM

alright, i wasn't planning on starting just yet anyways so i'll just have to wait and see me option for an IM when the time comes

I've basically got that same set up on my 01 lude.

-Jg enginedynamics redline series head
-skunk2 stage2 cams
-all aem fuel components
-RC eng. 310 cc injectors
-header exhaust race cat
-v-afc for tuning
-converted to obd1 using p13 remapped custom for my car
-msd 6AL with coil and 8.5mm wires

also decided to slap a direct port NX 75shot on there in hopes of breakin into the the high 12's but i dont' know if i'll have enough power for that.

hey for all you guys putting new manifolds on, look into the hondata manifold gasket. supposedly won't let heat pass through it and lowers intake air temp by 50 degrees. import tuner did a write up on it and tested it on a stock itr and said that by adding just the gasket they gained 5 hp to the wheels on dyno. i figure it's true considing import tuner did the write up. Well i got one for my car anyway. so hopefully with that i'll hit 12.9 instead of 13.0

What times are you currently running that you're lloking at 12's on the juice? Mid 13's N/A? That's a nice setup.

i am just saying that i hope to hit 13.9 na. and 12.9 on the juice.. i'm not sure though... i haven't even gotten the car tuned yet so i have no clue what i'll run. haven't ran it since it was stock.

How long did it take JG to do the head? I was thinkin about getting the pro series head. Is there any particular reason you got the redline head instead of the pro series?

19924ws · 03-06-2003, 01:50 PM

Redline is a little cheaper, but uses parts that are not as good. It has stock valves and the pro uses stainless. I have the redline with everything that JG offers. About $3000 though. Hey man I'm right down the street in Exeter pa.

gameovr · 03-07-2003, 02:03 PM

I was looking at the website and it has a price of 1430 for the pro series head. What else did you get that made it 3000? So all you do is take your head off and send it to them, they do the work and send it back?

cuseC08 · 03-08-2003, 12:07 AM

yeah i believe the proseries includes oversized valves which won't work with my stage2 skunk2 cams. that's basically why i went with redline series... another thing, don't let them mill ur h22 heads... not a good thing if you plan on using highlift cams. i upgraded to dual valve springs and titanium retainers as well which cost more money.

19924ws · 03-09-2003, 12:17 PM

Yeah you send it in and they send it back.....maybe after a while. It takes pretty long to get one, they are really backed up. I got my combustion chambers welded, that's what made the price so high. He doesn't really offer that as an option any more because it takes him so long to weld the metal in and blend it with the existing head. It took him 40hrs to do just the welding... So that is an entire work week. It is worth it though. Mike

cuseC08 · 03-11-2003, 09:03 AM

i was offered the welding of the chambers but i didn't konw what that was. I told them no. they told me that usually it was only done on B series motors to make a b16 look like a b18 or something... the lady confused me on the phone. what exactily does welding of the chambers do? what part of the motor is the chambers?

19924ws · 03-13-2003, 02:27 PM

Welding the chambers decreases the size of the quench area. if you look at the chamber on the stock head you can see that there is room between the valves and the edge of the chamber. What they do is weld metal into that area so when the piston comes up one the compression stroke all the air/gas mix is pushed right toward the spark plug, this makes for more complete combustion. When the air/gas ignites it flies in all direction like, forward and backward. Usually it would go all the way to the edge of chamber before it started pushing down on the piston. Now that there is metal there is starts the down push earlier. When it comes up for the exhaust stroke the air can't go forward to the edge of the chamber bec of the metal and the only place it can go is out the exhaust port. The chamber is the underside of the head where the valves and spark plugs resides.

cuse308, did you get your car dyno'd?

Well it has been made....I don't care if I have to wait a couple months...I'll live till then...

mcgill · 03-14-2003, 09:46 AM
