91 Prelude SI turbo?
 

I just picked up a clean(sort of) 91 Prelude SI that runs like a top. My question is does anyone know anything about these cars. What kind of following do they have. Is it worth it to do a turbo kit for them. Does anyone bother with them because they are so heavy. It looks like it would be an easy install, there is room for everything. Just wanted some input before I decide what to do with it. I am having the same problem deciding what to do with the Dodge Neon but thats another story.

Re:91 Prelude SI turbo?
 

junk them both, their both gay. but if i had a choice id burn the prelude and build the neon

Re:91 Prelude SI turbo?
 

the lude has a pretty stout engine, but it's going to be tough to find a manifold.
If you want to do the neon, there are pleanty of resources for it. but build the block before you go too far...

Re:91 Prelude SI turbo?
 

I think the real goal you have here is profit. I believe that the neon will bring u a much bigger take when it's complete versus the predule. If you can fab the manifold yourself, the HMT kit wouldn't be that bad on it, but do you think you can get that bitch sold for a good amount when you're done?

Is it one of the ones with 4 wheel steering?

Re:91 Prelude SI turbo?
 

The 4 wheel steering was in 88 or 89, this is a 91 so no 4ws. The manifold is no problem I build them all the time. The goul is to have a kit to add to the product line on the web site. I just added the Neon SR4-T upgraded intercoolers,first gen DSM intercooler and piping kit, and RX-7 TT intercooler and piping kit is coming soon. I think its time to add turbo kits to the line up. I will be adding them as the cars come available to me. I will be doing the write up and posting pics here as they go.

I suggest you go to
http://www.preludepower.com/phpBB2/index.php
I just gave you the link for the forums, but most of the people there have 3rd gens. In fact, I would say that 80 percent of them own 3rd gens. A lot of the people on there have turbo setups on their 3rd gens. From reading some of the stories you can make some pretty good power and times with a turbo setup on a 3rd gen lude. Hope this helped you.

TURBO that sucka cause thats what im doin on my 93 lude ::)

Re:91 Prelude SI turbo?
 

I'd turboed the Neon before the prelude, just because there's a larger market for the neons and also because the 91 prelude engine sucks...

93 prelude (H-series) has a different engine than the 91 (B20A -- Not the same as the B20B and B20Z)

Re:91 Prelude SI turbo?
 

I THINK you might could make some money with a kit for the Lude....lots of ppl have those cars, but can't do ---- with them 'cause their isn't alot of aftermarket support...I know where SEVERAL of those cars are at just sitting, I might would pick one up for cheap if I knew I could turbo it...If nothing else you'd be one of the few ppl(the ONLY person I know) with one of those Preludes w/ a turbo....and oh yeah...NEONS SUCK!!!

Re:91 Prelude SI turbo?
 

Thats what I was thinking. There are lots of message boards and clubs for the Lude but not much for them in the aftermarket. I love driving them, this one is loaded, every option you can get. Oh yey, you are right Neons suck ;D I cant stand driving that thing. I am definitely doing a kit for the Lude. I will do the Neon first. Watch for the post of the build up.

Re:91 Prelude SI turbo?
 

how exactly does the 88-91 prelude engine suck?

http://www.preludepower.com/forums/v...?do=view&g=477

btw, how much does a neon weigh? plus i have trouble finding a neon that doesn't look gay. of course i'm biased, but there's a reason i still have the lude after so long and haven't traded it in.

plus 14bn4g has a point. i have only seen one other turbo 3rd gen owner, tonybaker12 from pensacola, and happens to be the fastest member on the site with the b20a5. just search his name and you'll see that the car has a lot of potential.

i'd be damned if i get caught driving a single cam civic. or civic period. just my $.02.

Re:91 Prelude SI turbo?
 

what the ---- is goin on lately

Re: 91 Prelude SI turbo?
 

why do u all hate on the 3 gen lol? its not that bad besides the fact the b20a5 is absolutely like any other b series. I have a 3 gen and im just waiting on a manifold, then ill be boosted. Check out preludepower.com like everyone else said, theres plenty of turboed 3 gens.

Re: 91 Prelude SI turbo?
 

I personally like the body style of the lude of those years. Aftermarket support is pretty much 0 here. Just running some check valves and a fmu for it and just fab everything else.

Re:91 Prelude SI turbo?
 

Good job going back 2 years FAG

Re: 91 Prelude SI turbo?
 

this is what happens when you finally teach an idiot to search in a forum.....they post in threads from 1785

Re: 91 Prelude SI turbo?
 

2004 called and wants its gay thread back ;D

Re:91 Prelude SI turbo?
 

you suck, I would give my left nut to drive any civic

Re: 91 Prelude SI turbo?
 

i believe the prelude would be the better car and would probably get you the most money back. Even though i think neons are crap there is a lot of people out there that dont and there is a market for those as well.....its basically whatever you feel like doing. Oh and not to be trivial but the 91se did have 4ws, too bad the one you have doesnt, that ---- is crazy!

Re: 91 Prelude SI turbo?
 

Not to be trivial but this thread was almost two years ago to the day and I think customcoach is out of business. so the descisions been made.

Re: 91 Prelude SI turbo?
 

hey dsm manifolds work on those.............. fyi


i used to have one, and there used to be 3rdgenprelude.com and then it died,

but i loved that car it was titiies

Re: 91 Prelude SI turbo?
 

oh ---- i didnt even see that :1

Re:91 Prelude SI turbo?

Re: 91 Prelude SI turbo?
 

Go cry, emo kid.

Re: 91 Prelude SI turbo?
 

i see who's pissed cause someone chopped off the back end of his car. :3 you guys are sad.

i joined thinking this would be a good site but i guess i should have stuck to being a guest and not contributing any help. btw, the posts you've made don't mean crap when it comes to who you are or the work you've done.

really mature.

Re: 91 Prelude SI turbo?
 

Is custom coach actually out of business??
