Nice job! Welcome to boost ;)

Maybe its just the pic but doesnt look like your BOV line is hooked up? :D

Re: Boosted prelude project is finished....pics inside
 

no its hooked up.....ithe hose is just a little long in the pic...thnx for help tho

Re: Boosted prelude project is finished....pics inside
 

looks good! I think those 390's are going to be REALLY small for anything over 4-5 psi. Good luck and happy boosting!

Re: Boosted prelude project is finished....pics inside
 

yea, you should upgrade those injectors. you WILL max them out, especially since you have that h23 head, you already would need more fuel for that in the first place.

also, upgrading to a fmic will yield better results too, but im sure you knew that already.

either way, i like it, its nice and simple and not riced out. gj

Re: Boosted prelude project is finished....pics inside
 

Looks good man. Looks real good.

Re: Boosted prelude project is finished....pics inside
 

f22/h23 hybrid. I didnt know that was possible. Learn something new every dayI guess

Re: Boosted prelude project is finished....pics inside
 

looks really good doesnt work to bad either >:D

Re: Boosted prelude project is finished....pics inside
 

definatly a fmic next season....budget wouldnt allow it this yr..lol ....i would like to have had 450's but i got the 390's pretty cheap....the stock f22 and h23 injectors are the same size..i just uped the fuel pressure last yr with the head swap.....i hope these 390's dont max out...
thnx for the replies and comments guys....

Re: Boosted prelude project is finished....pics inside
 

clean setup with a hmt twist :6

Re: Boosted prelude project is finished....pics inside
 

Looks great nice work.Does the 14B hold boost all the way to redline?Good job with painting all the charge pipes too it looks really clean.

Re: Boosted prelude project is finished....pics inside
 

yup it pulls all the way..only have the f22 bottom end ,so i shift at 6800 or so

Re: Boosted prelude project is finished....pics inside
 

I had a turbo 4g lude. F22 with an FMU. I was gay. It was slow

Re: Boosted prelude project is finished....pics inside
 

Nice, i almost have the same exact setup. F22 though... I might have the H23 head swapped on it with a td05.

Re: Boosted prelude project is finished....pics inside
 

damn, you're a little behind there buddy, lol.

anyways, are you serious? it lasts all the way to redline? hmm, when do you start to see noticable boost?

Re: Boosted prelude project is finished....pics inside
 

I'm thinking about just using a DSM manifold too if I can't find a manifold for a good price. Most of them go for about $300+ Are you still able to retain your a/c with that manifold? How did you do your downpipe? DId you use the stock dp or did you custom make it?

Re: Boosted prelude project is finished....pics inside
 

Looks good. I was planning on getting an evo big 16g, but now I'm considering running a 14b for now seeing how yours is boosting till redline. BTW, I have a h23. Do you have traction problems?

Re: Boosted prelude project is finished....pics inside
 

i hd a small ex leak b4 the turbo so it didnt spool up in 1st gear very well....so its hard to tell when it would spool up...but today was just a test to make sure eveything worked...
so ill know more when i get it back together and my new clutch put in.....same as i kno there will be traction probs for sure....but my stocker clutch kept slipping and couldnt keep up.....
i have made a custom 2.5 inch downpipe....
and i shift at 65-6800 or so and it still pulls.....or at least feels like it.....no big high rpm numbers here...i kinda like my bottom end with no metal shavings in it

Re: Boosted prelude project is finished....pics inside
 

------ clean set-up man, looks tit. the car is lookin sleek too

have fun with her ;)

Re: Boosted prelude project is finished....pics inside
 

Looks great

Get rid of that filter though, they've been known to break from the inside :X

Re: Boosted prelude project is finished....pics inside
 

Yeah, keep me posted. My setup is almost exactly like yours. Instead I have 450's and a fmic.

Re: Boosted prelude project is finished....pics inside
 

didnt kno that about the filter..i tryed to get the smalllest i could so i could have the room......what do u suggest?

thnx for the comments guys!!!

Re: Boosted prelude project is finished....pics inside
 

looks really nice, i miss my lude, it was fun as hell to drive, i had the 4ws and everything, was weird to get use to having the back end feel like its sliding out on every corner, also do you have rear camber issues, mine did really bad and it was stock ride height, and i have seen other with the same issue.

Re: Boosted prelude project is finished....pics inside
 

For the filter use a cone and rotate the intake pipe. it should work. mine fits but i have a 4g63t in my hatch.. a lil different.

Re: Boosted prelude project is finished....pics inside
 

Have you tuned your car?

Re: Boosted prelude project is finished....pics inside
 

no its not tuned we are goin to get our cars done in april when it warmer out. ;)

Re: Boosted prelude project is finished....pics inside
 

Sorry to bring this back but I am very curious on how its running now. I am about to start with my setup and just wanted to know if you could send me the same uberdata bin you are using.

Re: Boosted prelude project is finished....pics inside
 

its not tuned but i ran on the dyno...@10psi 184whp / 230ft/lbs.....not bad.....next time its at 13psi...just want to get over 200whp /250ft/lbs.......she makes all torque at 4200....then it slowly dies off towards 6800.....hope a good tune can make it a little better in the top end.....pm me with your addy and ill send ya that bin!
