Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral Evo Ad - Honda Prelude 2.2i VTEC

I've had my Prelude for around 4 months now and have decided to turn it into my track car instead of the Skyline.

Specs so far:

Honda Prelude 2.2i VTEC 4ws
Maximum power-230bhp plus a 100bhp shot of NOS
Induction kit
Megan Racing 4-2-1 racing manifold
Wizards of NOS wet kit running 100bhp shot
Drilled/grooved discs on front
Ferodo DS2500 Race pads all round
Lexus style rear lights
Clear front & side indicators
Toyo Proxy tyres









Next mods are wheels and coilovers, but these won't be coming until at least February.

very nice

Like the rear lights mate

bet that puts the wind up civic type-r's quality m8 likin it, my mates dad used to have one of these the 4 wheels steering comes in really handy for hitting round-abouts at 50! lol

Yes i've had and driven loads of cars and this is by far the best handling car i've ever driven. The 4 wheel steering makes it nearly impossible to get the back end out (well i've never had it out anyway even in the ice) and the power comes in way before the Civics do. Round Elvington last year it managed to wipe the floor with a 350bhp Scooby, a Porche, an Astra rally car and could keep up with Caterhams etc and that was before the NOS was fitted

I think they're really underated for what they're capable of-a real sheep in wolfs clothing.

Here's the power graph from Peco with and without the NOS. Quite an improvement with the NOS

Is that power down on standard without the NOS??

And the NOS doesnt increase it by 100BHP,im confused,only just makes 50BHP


Looks lovely tho and more than enough power to scare ya

Yeah the bottle needs to be warm scoop with a bottle pressure of between 750-950psi to get the full benefit. It was about 4 degrees C on the day (only running 450psi pressure) and without a bottle heater it's not possible to get anywhere near the full power out of the jets.

how well does it feal when u are driving an the nos kicks in jus wondering as i havnt tryed mine yet

It makes an unbelievable difference even producing just over 50bhp. It's the instant torque that does it. It's a bit different on my Skyline though and doesn't make that much of a difference, just seems to reduce the turbo lag which was a disapointment. Apparently it all depends on how well each make & model of car reacts to the NOS so I was lucky with the Prelude to react so well. On some cars the ignition system isn't so good and can cause the NOS not to respond as well.

are u spraying the nos in before or after your afm i am spraying it in after the afm that can also make a diffrence

i think you best do it b4 the afm, tony did it on his metro after and it wasnt noticable then he didit b4 and it just spun lol

the prelude on the trackday looked good sounded great

Had the NOS install ripped out from under the bonnet and re-installed with much shorter hose. The hose that came off was nearly 2ft still compared to the new hoses which are 6 inches so lots more power

I've also added:

Tein Super Street Coilovers
Straight through custom built exhaust system
Strut brace
Silicon hose
EGR Valve bypassed
Graphics

Took my car to the rolling road at Peco once again on Friday for yet another rolling road session since i've had the exhaust and NOS bottle warmer fitted etc. Running just under a 1000psi bottle pressure I achieved 230bhp with 235lbs/ft torque (at the wheels ). This figure is 40lbs/ft and 18bhp up at the wheels from the last rolling road session at the beginning of this year so i'm pleased with that

If anyone can work out what the bhp is at the flywheel then please let me know.

Fook! Nice one matey! Pretty sure webby knows the conversions so give him a shout.
