Hello honda fans. I am considering purchasing a prelude among several other cars to begin a new project. I haven't worked with a honda yet but i have read that the prelude is a bad car to put a turbo to. Any advise concerning a project car. Is a prelude an alright car to turbo or should i stick to a civic? thanks

Not sure where you heard that, the H22 motor is frequently turbo'd with good results. With a stock motor I wouldn't go with more than 7 pounds of boost, but if you plan to build the motor right you can do even better. What are your horsepower goals?

Im not sure where i had heard that. I heard they dont have a solid block for a turbo but anyway im not going to do anything crazy, ill probably use it as a daily driver also.

The H22 has weak walls, as they are Fiber Reinforced Composite style. You can build it, but I wouldn't push it too far.
Build it all motor and surprise people. Or low boost with a small turbo and have a quick spooler. The engine is nice and worth the build, just take precautions.

Hey bro, Im pleased with my car it was a 2.3,but did a swap for a 2.2 with a LSD Tranny and Turbo/stage 3.It has a steady pull threw all gears.We running low boost in it cause of the walls inside the engine haha we didn't want to mess up the wall cylinders.It's a daily driver
