I just got my 91 GTA yesterday, and me and my friend were out today just cruisin around town, well we were sitting at a redlight when this *****-out Prelude pulls up behind me and starts revvin his engine. Well we pull out and he gets beside me and guns it, well I am in Drive and I don't even go WOT and he can't pull on me, then we race again, I drop it down into 2nd and absolutely leave him sittin, then he gets up beside me and asks if my car is a V8, then he starts talkn trash about how his four cylinder just kept up with a V8, then my friend says let's take it to the interstate, but the poor boy wouldn't do that. Sorry so long just had to tell someone.

 

turbo prelude next

 

should've told him it was only a 245 HP V8 (stock specs) and see what he says...

 

Nice kill but I've always found the preludes are sleds on wheels. The newer ones ('97+) are even bigger dogs!

 

Yeah, preludes are really heavy. Good kill nonetheless. Keep 'em coming!

 

One, why do you say it's a turbo?

Secondly, pre-92 Preludes only weigh 2500, I owned one. Just before my friend totalled it, I had blown the stock 2.1L engine (it was the full blown Si, not the 2.0 Si), and replaced it with an H22. With the stock engine it pulled mid 16s, and with the VTEC engine in that light car it probably would've pulled low 15s. Add full exhaust, 14 psi of boost, and traction, and you might be looking at 13s.

 

Don't see the turbo in this...

 

....what model turbo?

 

They didnt make a turbo prelude. Also if it was a later model prelude he wouldnt even need a turbo to keep up. I think they were mid to low 15's anyway. It wouldnt take much for him to keep up if your GTA is stock.

 

no turbo unless you saw it or heard it..so it was a N/A piece of dog**** motor...

Had you lost, you should've just turned right around, went home and parked the car never to drive it again lol

 

Well i was with him in the passenger seat, and we could hear a blowoff valve, he said it was an aftermarket turbo. Off the line, he could barely hang with us, but once we got up into the powerband, it was no competition.

 

well if he DID have turbo he should've kept up...

 

You would think so, but like i said, for a second, he could, but after that, it was all over.

 

well I'd believe he had a turbo only if I saw it...seems like everyone and their grandmom has a turbo nowadays...

 

Well this is just what the guy said ok. I'm not going to assume that he is lying, and we could hear a blowoff valve and turbo.

 

well they do make fake blowoff valves that sound like the real thing, maybe this idiot had one

 

I know they don't make turbo preludes stock. I was referring to the subtitle:

Raced a turbo Prelude

And since it wasn't followed up in the story, I asked about it.

 

When I say a turbo Prelude, that means a Prelude w/ turbo. NEVER ONCE DID I SAY THAT IT WAS A STOCK TURBO. Like my friend said the guy told us it was turbo and we saw the boost gauge, and heard the blowoff valve and turbo. Regardless, I beat him into the ****** ground!!!

 

LOL, prozak is your friend

 

maybe he had whistler tips

 

my friend has a 94 prelude si with a garett t-2 turbo running 10lbs of boost, and he is pushing over 300hp to the wheels, 320 something actually. so unless this guy stole a turbo off a neon srt or something, i doubt it was a turbo.

 

Woo woo

Whistle tips don't sound like a turbo, they're just stupid.

 

Listen people, where I come from people cannot afford turbos like the ones that you people know, I live in east Tn where nobody can really afford any of this highly expensive stuff, I know it was a turbo, and actually i'm sick and tired of arguing about it so let's leave it at this!!!

 

then how did you afford a 91 GTA? Magic jelly beans?

 

lol, saw that vid a year ago. Bubb Rubb owns all j00 n00bz!

 

What are turbos in E. TN made of? Pinwheels and straw wrappers?

 

Well that was just pointless.

 

Do I seriously have to explain it to you? Did it fly right over your head? Maybe, I see you're in TN too.

There are only so many turbo kits for Honda cars. For the kits, there are a limited number of actual turbochargers available. He said:
That kinda makes me think that in your neck o' the woods there must be a different kind of turbocharger kit, one that's affordable to a backwoods kid even in east TN.

 

There isnt anything wrong with east TN.

 

Why argue over something so insignificant. I will no longer participate in this.

you people have no sense of humor...I feel for ya

 

Getting pissed at everybody because we hate on Neons...
