Honda Prelude Turbo Kits

by Adam Lee

The Honda Prelude, now no longer being produced, is a very popular car among racing enthusiasts today. The aluminum alloy in-line 4DOHC 16 valve VTEC engine is rated among the top engines ever produced by Honda. This powerful engine boasts 2157 cubic centimeters of displacement and can produce 200 horsepower at 7000 revolutions per minute. As powerful as this car may be, many enthusiasts have decided to upgrade their models with turbochargers. This explains why there are so many available turbochargers designed specifically for the Honda Prelude.

What To Look for in a Prelude Turbo Kit

When looking for a turbocharger for your Honda Prelude, it is important to look for a kit designed for the specific model year of your car. This is important to remember, as there are a plethora of turbocharger kits available for nearly every Prelude model year available on today's aftermarket. With that said, let us take a look at features found in a quality Honda Prelude turbocharger.

It is a good idea to invest in a turbocharger whose manifold is fashioned from thermocoated cast steel. This will prevent the occurrence of heat soak, and will help you avoid costly engine damage. In order to assure top quality, make sure all pipes are mandrel bent, and are produced from a high quality material suited to your driving style.

A good turbo kit will include all necessary hardware and fittings, as well as complete instructions and a comprehensive wiring guide. It is a good idea to buy a kit that includes an intercooler system, downpipes, boost timing management, fuel injectors, and a blow off valve. A comprehensive system will allow the operator to install once and avoid subsequent upgrades.
