Default Anyone turbo a 1988-89 Honda prelude?

hi,
a friend of mine donated an old prelude for me so that Ican try to resurrect it once again.
i want to turbo the old prelude 2.0SI, anyone done it before?
how much HP do you think I can get out of it?
does the prelude share any turbo parts with the Accord?

the b20 is an oddball motor no one makes parts for it and no parts swap over to it but don't let that stop you from turboing it

its a honda, that alone almost garuntee's its been done before, lol, just do some searching and im sure you'll find the info your lookin for

a buddy of mine back in oregon had a B20 swapped into an EG and went N/A and it was decently quick, would have been faster but if he did anything else to the motor he wouldnt have passed emissions

Just need to find a manifold and then everything is the same basic stuff as any other kit.Can you run a 88-91 Prelude off a PR4 or similar to use Turbo Edit?Worst case you can use a piggy back but turbo edit would be great.

I remember people saying the stock distributor was an oddball (not quite OBD-1, not quite OBD-0). I think most people end up doing an OBD-1 conversion, and use a different distributor.

Check out www.preludepower.com , they have directions on how to do it all.
