im here waynne ha, just a busy weekend
hi smr238, welcome to tc
is your prelude a vtec?? if so you'll achieve that hp very easy
if not, would you concider a engine swap?? the 2.2 vtec is something like 220 - 225 bhp
prince is the man about swaps, but out of 5 grand, you'll get an engine, gearbox and ecu for under 2 grand, that means you have 3 grand to pump up the horses
when i get work im aiming for 270 bhp, this can be done without forced induction, il send you a clip later
as CB said, buy a car that will have the suspension and all that jazz
no need, all preludes come with double wishbone suspension = very good for handling high speed cornering and you can get a bushing kit from the states for 140 dollars shipped, this makes the car totally tight and presission
let me know what engine size you have, but definatly start on a h22a vtec, its the most powerfull engine out of all the preludes and alone should put a big smile on your face
