1977, friends honda prelude: lying?
Posted by 95Eclipse302, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
He says he has a racing clutch , flywheel, pulleys, and sparkplug wires...he claims to be pushing 350 HP i kno its not true....

he says its 275 stock but im reading 195 stock on autoguide?

It is a 97 prelude...I stayed on his ass one day on the way from home.,..we have yet to race yet but he claims he will run 13s! theres no way....

u think i could take him?

I have headers, full catback, some weight reduction, intake, and gutted cat....bored TB also...

oh yeah and would 350 Hp even be possible without forged rods and pistons on this vtech prelude?

Not likely unless it was a seriously good tune at like 10-12psi. But the h22 is a force to be reckoned with when boosted. Especially in a del sol like my buddy.


No way in hell is he putting that much power to the grouns with the above mods :shrug

EDIT: and it's more embaressing to state a HIGH hp for your car when it's actually kinda slow.....like if a stock 2g will keep up with it.....lol it's slow.

I work with 2 guys who own 3 92-96 preludes between the them, one with an H22 and two with H23s and they are quick for a bolt on car, but by no means FAST, and no where near 350, 210-215 stock, and one of them also has an accord with an H22 swap that I hung with N/A.

explain to me how a pulley is going to give him 75hp?

If he knew Greg, I don't think he would have asked this question :P

I raced a guy with a late VTEC Prelude a few years ago with our bone stock Spyder GS-T, well it did have 18" Konig Monsoons. The Lude had pulleys, wires, and some sort of intake. I think the exhaust was stock. I had him good off the line and pulled a car length, when his VTEC kicked in he almost gained that back, then we stayed pretty even the rest of the 1320' with me winning by maybe a fender. It was a good race for a couple of slow cars. :) I was lucky to get him off the line as good as I did, cause I suck it launching FWDs. I knew if I didn't beat him off the line that it would be impossible for the T25 to catch him.
Our 2gnt (intake, cat-back, pulley, wires, 18" rims) stays even with the Spyder from a roll, but it's a pooch from a dead stop.

he's obviously lying about hp numbers especially if he has no form of forced induction or nitrous. however I would still think you probably won't be able to take him unless if your a much better driver, i know I couldn't take my friends 2001 lude before I was boosted, never had a chance to race him after I got my turbo because he had picked up a 1g awd eclipse before I got it. Although I had some shitty runs at the track I was still able to do better than a prelude with similar mods to my friends.

10's in the 8th? lol, thats only in the 15's and for a car that supposedly has 350hp, that is complete garbage.

Tell him to dyno it. I bet it'll dyno in the 150-160 range.
