Met a guy with a cool custom Prelude
 

Today one of my friends brought over a buddy of his who has been building up his custom Prelude. He wanted to do something different and not do forced induction. His goal was a normally aspirated 4 cyl with 400+hp. The work is impressive: custom paint, a totally beautiful fabricated header, built motor, etc. The car revs to over 10k rpms. Here are some pics and a list of mods:






I think Max will get on here eventually and he can tell you more about it then.

wow freakin impressive a 2.6L honda motor dang. its kinda cool i wanna hear this thing in person. the only thing i dont agree with is his N/A is best sticker lol but a freakin clean car none the less

VERY impressive. My only question is weren't these FWD? Torque Steer? Even though, awesome skills.

I thought so too. I think the whole thing is kind of cool and tastefully done. He is currently getting some head work done, but should have it back up and running soon. I'll make sure we get a video :)

They are FWD, but he indicated the torque steer wasn't so bad. I'll ask him more about it later or hopefully he'll sign up and enlighten us :bigthumbsup:

lsd and better tires usually make tq steer managable. my 04 evo turned to front wheel drive when the transfercase when out and the turbo kickin in so fast is what made it violent same with the srt-4 on an N/A car with a smoother powerband it should be more managable

13.5 compression:nuts: What fuel is he running? Serious build. Any dyno sheets or runs made. 400hp is alot for 2.6 even with revving to 10k and 13.5 compression.

He is running 91 octane + methanol. I think the 400hp is flywheel, not rwhp.

fixed

Wow! That's insane. I guess the methonal would definately get hte job done, but does that means he has to run it all the time or only whenit's on a heavy load?
