Any details on the build? Looks like a fun ride

Re: 89 Prelude turbo B20A (HOLSET BALLAH)
 

Nice it's a true HTM ;D

Re: 89 Prelude turbo B20A (HOLSET BALLAH)

Re: 89 Prelude turbo B20A (HOLSET BALLAH)
 

Thats badass, my buddy has an 89 prelude as well so maybe this can help motivate him :P

Re: 89 Prelude turbo B20A (HOLSET BALLAH)
 

any reason the radiator is like that? Do they not make half size raditors that fit your car?

Re: 89 Prelude turbo B20A (HOLSET BALLAH)
 

Get rid of that fmu

Re: 89 Prelude turbo B20A (HOLSET BALLAH)
 

that is a half sized the problem is the huge turbo and cramped bay and the cross member ;)

Re: 89 Prelude turbo B20A (HOLSET BALLAH)
 

Is that an h1c ?
If so where did you get the dp and the dp flange from ?

Looks good.

Re: 89 Prelude turbo B20A (HOLSET BALLAH)

Re: 89 Prelude turbo B20A (HOLSET BALLAH)
 

oh yeah where did you get that catch can, I really like it.

Re: 89 Prelude turbo B20A (HOLSET BALLAH)
 

make like the ass wipe who took off his crossmember and put it in the trash can on his "half rad how to"



Nice snail.

Does it even spool on such a little motor?

Re: 89 Prelude turbo B20A (HOLSET BALLAH)

Sorry long mod list yeah thus far I am running off the 4 lb spring in my wastegate but it still pushes to 6 lbs the only problem I am running into is the clutch is slipping its ass off after I hit second and get into boost so thus far I am not one hundred percent sure on just how bad my boost creep is going to be.

AND YES YES I WILL GET RID OF THE ------- FMU I HAD TO TRACK DOWN AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND USED THAT TO RULE OUT THE ECU AS MY PROBLEM

but all in all I love

Re: 89 Prelude turbo B20A (HOLSET BALLAH)
 

I like how the radiator is mounted. O0

Re: 89 Prelude turbo B20A (HOLSET BALLAH)

Re: 89 Prelude turbo B20A (HOLSET BALLAH)
 

Mmmm hot radiator suckage.

Re: 89 Prelude turbo B20A (HOLSET BALLAH)
 

I would find, or have a radiator made that will fit better than that, and allow you to put a filter on your turbo. Your setup is gangster pimp and true HMT, but IMO could use a little refinement. Are you still running the FMU?

Re: 89 Prelude turbo B20A (HOLSET BALLAH)
 

yeah right now I am in the process of saving up for a traction bar, for either an 88-91 civic or better yet a nice bolt-in 90-93 integra I sat down at the junkyard when I had a spare afternoon and pulled one from a prelude and another from an integra and they are identical, bolt holes, dimensions, I just need a place where they sell it cheap enough for my ultra cheapo romanian ass budget

and soon the fmu will be gone, stop peeing on me about it :4

Re: 89 Prelude turbo B20A (HOLSET BALLAH)
 

the car doesnt over heat with that half rad, i know other 3rd genners tried them before and had issues. what manifold is that. setup looks fun though. I was gonna turbo my 3rd gen, but said ---- it and kept it as my daily

Re: 89 Prelude turbo B20A (HOLSET BALLAH)
 

That's certainly a BFT, having trouble closing the hood? j/k

Your rad position is unique but it looks WAY too close to the comp inlet volute... ??? ??? ???

Angular side pics please. :)
