My prelude is 99.9% complete, so i though i would share my project.. I have posted a couple pics, never nothing in more detail.. I went to the dyno last week, had a few problems and could only run 22psi instead of 40psi. With the timing all messed up and wanting to be safe, i made 536 hp on 22psi, which sucks, couldnt set proper timing and it was rich ..
We decided to go to the track to work some bugs out before the next trip to the dyno.
First shakedown run i cut a 1.6 60ft with no burnout, i got out of it, (i was heading toward the wall).
Second pass, did a burnout and knocked off my alternator belt, Fixed it and went again.
Third pass, i cut a slick and called it a night.. Everything is being fixed, i should be back on the dyno next thursday and back at the track friday.

UPDATE... went to the dyno again, my water pump is not working, but i made 643hp 400tq @ 22psi, with a little wheel spin. Going to replace the water pump and go back for a 40psi run.

heres a video of a pull, this was the 643 pull i think.

stock gears

PPG dog gears... the tranny is one of the best investment i have made, you can see how much stronger it is over factory, it sounds great too..

cardudelude · 08-26-2009, 07:27 PM

Nice set up what all did you remove to get your car that light? but nice numbers cant wait to see what you run with no problems

ProjectBB6 · 08-26-2009, 07:41 PM

Wow... Impressive. That weight would allow you to get to 9's no problem. You need to work on whatever problems you have and see if you can get to around 700whp. More people are starting to take preludes to higher levels.... I love it. Keep it up man.

*We want to see money shots!

i removed alot, im still legal for my class though.. I should be able to get at least another 50lbs off. The 5th gen has all kind of crap you can take off.

jlude90 · 08-26-2009, 07:44 PM

Finally someone to compete with the little cars. Good luck man, long road ahead of you with lots of fights, but I'd like to see you do well.

cardudelude · 08-26-2009, 07:47 PM

Ya im working on taking stuff out of mine and im not to sure what else to take out....last thing i took out was the a/c core thing inside the glove box but everything is out that i can think of

jnv255 · 08-26-2009, 10:38 PM

i would have a video from my last dyno, but everytime the car hit boost the camera would shut off, i guess it was to loud and decided no more.. Going to try another camera next time.

dagle · 08-26-2009, 10:44 PM

lol good work mang can't wait for 9 second time slip to be posted up. i was wondering what a golden eagle block consists of? is it just the sleeves or is something else done to it?

jnv255 · 08-26-2009, 11:09 PM

Thanks man, just sleeves. i fixed it, lol.

I dont expect it overnight, but im confident fast times are coming, just gotta get it running right.. I was happy cutting a 1.6 60ft the very first pass in the car, with no burnout, and had the antilag set to build only 2psi.. Hopefully all goes well at the dyno next week so i can get some good passes in..

dagle, im going to UPS tomorrow, ill let you know much everything is.
thanks

cardudelude · 08-26-2009, 11:14 PM

Damn good job...glad to hear there are more preludes getting up there in horsepower and people actually doing good builds....there is a guy in my town that has one that has a 01 prelude pushing 670 ill post pics up tomorrow but i cant wait to see the video

jnv255 · 08-26-2009, 11:29 PM

thanks man, when i bought this car in 98, i never thought it would become what it is.. It dosent seem like ive had her for eleven years..

heres some older pics..

HdeucedeuceA · 08-26-2009, 11:50 PM

subscribed for 40psi numbers and times.

cardudelude · 08-26-2009, 11:58 PM

Damn i think i just got a woody lol....how are the stock motor mounts working out for you?

dagle · 08-27-2009, 12:08 AM

haha i wasn't trying to be a wise guy, i thought they did something special to it lol... was about to run to my machine shop ASAP and tell him to stop work just in case there's a precaution to take

cardudelude · 08-27-2009, 12:10 AM

Not trying to jack the thread but here are a couple of pics. I dont have one of the motor since its not my car i didnt wanna take pictures but when i see him this weekend ill take some if he is alright with it...btw did you remove your balance shafts or keep them?

dagle · 08-27-2009, 12:22 AM

^-- LMFAO YOU THINK THATS FAST? HAHAHAHAHA HE HAS A CALIFORNIA LICENSE PLATE WITH CURRENT TAGS. THATS A JOKE.

jnv255 · 08-27-2009, 12:26 AM

How is that a joke just because he has current tags? just because you have 670hp doesnt mean you cant have current tags...he drives it with low boost around town like i said ill get pics to show proof. what are your thought on removing balance shafts jnv255? and where is a good place to find final drives?

jnv255 · 08-27-2009, 01:04 AM

Ya'll be nice..
I don't think I want to have my balance shafts removed, the less vibration the better.. It might be ok without em, but I don't want to chance it. I think the next thing I'm gonna get is a ATI dampner, I know people who ran without one forever with no problems but...

JJSPEC is in GA

I have solid billet motor mounts and tranny mount. I need to get more pics of how they did the exhaust, dump tube, and the velocity stack.

If anyone has a left rocker panel in black I need one. The little black piece that runs down the bottom of the car, ive found some in a junkyard, but I thought I would ask in here..

Thanks for all the positive words, I'll try and not let everyone down, lol..
