I thought you guys might be interested in this. Y'all were nice to us when we posted before and we ended up making some friends-- so I figured this wouldn't be totally out of place.
We finally got a chance to go to the dyno and tune the prelude yesterday. We were happy with the results-- remember these are prelude numbers....not Lightning

Considering how much that little thing weighs, I'd be cool with that.

 

I have three points to make:

1) Those are great FWHP numbers for any import...that means it is making close to 300 at the crank in a car that weighs less than 3,000lbs.

2) I VERY much admire the fact that the car is a sleeper (stock rims, no graphics and no body kit or mile high spoiler). I have often said (much to the ill will of my domestic driving colleagues) that import cars can be cool...if they are done tastefully (which this particular Prelude is).

3) Now that it is respectably fast....CLEAN THAT THING!!!!! I am a detailer by trade....and it breaks my heart to see such a well done car in less than immaculate condition!!!

All in all...great numbers and kudos to you for showing respect for the L....your Honda has earned respect from me.

ok finally got my own account on here. Yeah the car weighs about 2900lbs and the gearing is makes the top end really nice.

i have an fmu, 370cc injectors, and vafc for the fuel tuning i did for that curve fyi.

 

 

Not too bad...

but are you a little concerned about the a/f ratio below 3500 rpm? I realize this this is supposed to be revved.. but it looks dangerously lean there..
or am I wrong..

those are great numbers. Just like Mike's02Bolt said, if imports are done up with good taste, they are actually pretty cool cars. My friend has a blue Civic Si with white rims and a carbon fiber hood. To me thats ugly but whatever floats your boat. Hes making 150fwhp and thinks his car will smoke most domestics

 

very nice sleeper

 

I've stated before that I respect just about anybody that mods his or her vehicle, especially if it's done by the owner(exceptions: eng., heads, trans., etc replacement).

I look at the Hondas, etc. at the staging lane as we wait our turn. A well-tuned-modded vehicle is due respect IMHO. Now, when at the tree and the pedals go to the floor, I hope I beat any/all of them .

Main LIGHTNING thread, please post in texas local forums or on prelude forums?

 

I put what the thread was about in the title. If you didn't want to read about it, you shouldn't have clicked it. Also-- if that was a statement, don't end it in a question mark?@?@?!/!

and you other guys-- thanks for the madd props

 

you're wrong but thats ok. On a dyno the car is driven through the gears in my case until its in 4th gear. While cruising a target airfuel of 14.7:1 is there. When you step on the gas from cruising the injectors flood open and thats why it dips down really low. Then vtec engages at 3600rpms and it breathes a lot better and the fuel curve comes up. Thats why if you look at any dyno they dip down at the start, but now you know and learning is fun!


thanks to everyone elses positive feedback

 

yeah i think the same way. I don't understand why people go to jotech and drop 10000 dollars (literally) to build a motor and turbo it when they could of done it for half as much and learned in the process.

 

So now the Lightning forum has become Ricer-R-Us

Gee WTF is up with that
