im looking to turbo my prelude is this kit worth it

or do u guys got any other idears???

 

if the kit is 5500, the install is like 3000, and you still need a whole bunch of other stuff like engine management, new pistons, rods, and sleeves. in fact a whole internal rebuild from pistons to valvetrain.

all told you'll prob spend a good 10000 bucks before you're ready to go. AND you can't daily drive it.

choose wisely.

 

y wouldnt i be able to daily drive?


im not worried about the install wear il do most the work myself with the help of my grandfarther that owns his own shop and he loves this kind of shit

 

u could get a full greddy kit and their front mount intercooler for less than 3500 and install should be like 500-650 depends on where you go
with this kit plus a decent 3 in exhaust hp should jump to around 230-245 whp and 185-205 wtq

 

it all depends on how much PSI you're running. if you're running less than 8 you can get buy on stock internals for a while, but anything more than that (which is why i'm assuming you're buying a stage 4 kit) you're gonna need to rebuild the bottom end at the very least. and get an EMS. Resleeving the block, new forged pistons, and new rods is roughly $1500 of work, the EMS costs around 1700 retail. not to mention how much it'll cost to tune. or stuff like guages.

turbo isn't cheap. and if you're pushing 12-15 psi daily driving it is asking for some kind of catastrophic failure at an inopportune time. a lot guys have tried to daily drive their turbo rigs and almost every one of them regrets it at some point.
