Hey guys. sweet site. I am slowly working my way through the new user faq in forced induction. Holy ---- that is a lot of info! I'm building a HMT for my 2g prelude si. I have a tdo5 12a conquest turbo and I am going to make a log mani for it. I'll be asking lots of dumb questions....

What motor you got in that bad boy?

That turbo is probably going to be too small for your car. But welcome and its good to see that you are reading the FAQs first.

I know it's really small. I got it for the grand total of "nada" so I will build the stuff and proly sell it this summer. I can't believe they ever used that donut sized thing on a conquest. I think they were like a 2.6 or something. Can you say full boost at idle?

I'm running the stock a20. It holds up pretty well. The problem is the clutch. I know a guy who melted the strongest single plate clutch ACT makes for these engines, on stock internals. 12 psi unintercooled. 190hp, 250tq. I heard that he is getting a custom clutch disc made. Hopefully I will need one soon.

good luck on that man. and i believe you have a b20, the older version, not an a20. i've never even heard of an a20. good luck nonetheless

The a20a3 is in the 87 prelude si. It's the same as the BT in the 86 prelude. The 88-89 accord got a a20a1. They are all sohc 12v cast iron blocks. Heavy as hell. I put one in without a lift The b20 came in the 2g lude only in japan. It's a little differant than the b20's that the 88-91 lude has. I wonder if I can send a rod through an iron block?
