about two years ago i bought a junk automatic h23a1 prelude. stripped her down and fix all the rust. think i have some pics some where im gona try and find them. but it was in hard shape. got the body done. decided to keep adding. bought new tokico lower gas shocks and springs. got a new set of 17inch MB wheels(black with a crome lip) rapped them in avon 215 45 17 tires. bought new cd deck to replace the stock one. and came up with custom sub box design to fit in the trunk holds 2 12inch subs. before i painted the car i decided i better work on the engine a bit first. i started of and bought a dsm 16g turbo used from the united states had 30 thousand km on. came off a 1999 ecplise. bought aftermarket turbo manifold for a dsm and redrilled the stud wholes to fit the h23 stud pattern. bought a new rs blow off valve and a full 3 inch intercoller pipping kit to go with it. had to go with a smaller intercooler from autoworld to allow it to fit. also had to remove the ac rad to mount the intercooler properly. so it dont have ac no more.... o well. now we got all the turbo shit im thinking this 93 auto prelude with 170km thousand km on the motor 250km on the body isnt gona hold any amount of boost for very long with out blowing it the fuck up. so i bought cp forged pistons off ebay.with an 87.5 bore on them. i found a set of new oem h23 robs for a good price in the states and had them shipped down. had a set of injector 550 injectors but i lost them in my garadge some where. got a rebuilt 5spd f22 tranny of the web. i went with an f22 tranny because it has longer gear then the h23 tranny and boost and short gears means your spin your tires more. not that its gona make that much of a differnence. once we pulled the motor out we got it polished up and put in all the new parts on and assembled them. head was ported and polished by nova.getting ready to put the motor back in. and plan to have it painted burnt orange and black two tone style design. replace the exhuast put a dual turn up tip magnaflow muffler on it. and replaced from the cat back with new 3 inch exhuast pieces. custom i guess you could say. planned to have the car done before winter but i got held up a little. planning to sell if i cant find a place to store it come winter time. just bought a gtr skyline and its gona need the garadge space soon. also have 66mm garret/ hks tubro good to 600 horse might through that in to. prelude should be making around 320 to 350 wheel horse. there are more mods then are listed these are just the big ones
