That's just the block man! The head was sent out seperately. I've got about 6.500 bucks in this build. So my advice is unless you've got 10 grand for a build like this plus a turbo you might as well just buy a car that was actually meant to be turbo'd like a mr2 or supra or something. Personally turbo on a lude is just downright gay in my opinion. It would've been made that way from the factory if it was meant to be. Why ruin a h22 with a turbo, it's one of the best motors honda has to build it N/A and have a reliable engine that is naturally aspirated. How many engines do you know that are 4 cylinders and can say they've got 200 hp stock naturally aspirated. I'm looking at 280-300 crank hp with this build which is much more manageable than any turbo that's for sure. All you will do with a turbo on a lude is spin tires thru 3 gears, break axles, have to tune it all the time, and probably blow it up unless built! I could've made 500-600 hp easy with management and a big ass turbo on this built block but why. Hp is only good if you can get it to the ground something a turbo usually doesn't allow unless you're running 4 lbs of boost. I'd like to see more people go my route with ludes and stay all motor. Turbo is a good way to ruin what a prelude was built for. Have fun in the corners with that turbo! Get my drift or am I a retard?????
