1990 Honda Prelude Si TURBO BLOWN MOTOR!!!!
Spun a bearing. The former owner drove it hard for abt 20 thousand miles tuned at 20PSI with a T3/T4 hybrid Ebay turbo A/R 60 on 91oct putting down abt 400HP maybe more hittin low 11s in a 1/4 mile. His set-up was wisco pistons, crower rods, stock crank, stock tranny, stock head, 6puk sprung heavy duty race clutch on a 94 tegra LS flywheel with a true short shifter, HKS blow off, external wastegated. His turbo kit was all custom inter cooler and all. I bought it with a blown turbo and all the milage tuned at 16PSI on 91oct. So I added a T3 inlet Garrett turbo A/R 42 on the same setup. It drove great for about 6 months in moderation as you can see in previous vids even with knowing a rebuild was coming. It was puttin down abt 290HP I already have a good bare short block ready to go, n im building it stronger this time and way faster.

My Turbo Prelude
SONG IS NOT MINE IT'S "STOP (blue mix) by Ghost_K. All the work on the car was done by my father and myself. It's 97' Prelude 5th gen H22A4, it's engine insides are stock (and its staying that way HONDA KNOWS WHAT IT DOES) I've heard of a lot of people who start seeing problems when they open up the engine, I'm not going to risk it this is my every day ride and my car. I really don't know why people say H22's can't be Boosted, mine has handled it very well, it has not given em a single problem and it has been Boosted for almost 2 yrs now, the first year it lived as you see in the video at 8 psi of Boost. These days it does have more mods in it, like a proper Boost controller, an AEM fuel rail and fuel pressure regulator, NGK iridium plugs and spark plugs cables, and 550 RC fuel injectors, it's also running 12 psi of Boost now, it Dynoed 364whp (sorry i did not have my camera with me at the time, sister broke it, but the Dyno paper is laying around somewhere in my room if I find it I will post it). I will stick with these numbers until I get better traction, ideas are welcomed, i don't like spinning my tires till 3rd upper RPMs. I have not timed it but i did stay neck and neck with a Civic Si turbo (2006 model) of a friend of mine which runs about 12.3 secs, it was rolling of course because of my traction issue, but I still find my car quite fast and extremely reliable for an every day car. HONDA FOR LIFE.

Frompa's 400+whp Turbo Prelude
My built turbo prelude running around 17psi in the video. Tuned for 18-19psi. Car makes 430whp on Boost leaks, Exhaust leaks, rich 10's Air Fuel ratios, etc. @ 18psi. Going back to the Dyno once we get all the problems worked out.
Car gets full traction in 3rd gear and I am only turning the car out to 7400rpms. Tuning for 8,000 rpms next time around.
New video coming soon!
