i'm schedule to race a 93 prelude tomorrow. it's surpose to have vtech but we all know how these honda owners lies about it. well anyway i was in a store today and i found this thing made by NOS. its surpose to be like nitrous in a can, you just full up your gas tank and put it in with the gas. i havn't tryed it yet so i don't know if it works, but my Question to you guys is if it does actually work like nitrous how do you think would win. we both have standerds

 

there's 2 of them, Street and Racing, I only got the Street application,and it did feel like it had more "pickup". So my Suggestion is that you buy the racing one,and those VTEC 'Ludes are Fast man, Is it a stick prelude, if it is good luck, get a good launch,and drive hard, most likely you'll be ahead first,but when the Vtec kicks in well....let us know what happens. you know how to power shift good?

 

its a plastic neon shifter. i always slipp gears with it because i don't want to break it. i payed like $30 for it.
and beside this is his first standard car. he just go it. i've been driving mine for a good while now so i know when my baby has had enough of the same gear which means its time to shift. i figured experience would help me beat him.
but i'm going to dump my amp and subs just to make sure.

 

Sorry dude, VTEC lude? You're toast. And the NOS in a bottle is nothing more than octane booster.. It is not nitrous.

just wondering

 

Oh yeah, get a real NOS kit.. =) Even just 50 shot.. You'll hand him his a$$ on a platter.. =)

 

and i was thinking. with a nos kit the nitrous is injected into that thing with the spark plugs and the gas(i know not a thing about cars). so if nitrous is a liquid and its going in the same place as the gas. what would happen if you put real nitrous in your gas tank? i mean it's going to the same place anyway. whats the difference?
Just wondering

 

Nitrous Oxide is not continually mixed with the fuel, it is just too volitile. Example: the nos explosion on an earlier thread from just a heating blanket staying on. Of course the safety system failed too. But, obviosly this is not something you want to put in your tank! I don't think you can buy Nitro like that anyway. Nitros is mixed in "Shots" which most hook up to either thier shifter or steering wheel for easy access.

 

Most nitrous systems that I've seen for the max like mine are just dry systems. This means that the nitrous is injected in the intake not in the fuel line. I going to get a wet sytem which misxes the nitrous and the fuel before it is injected in the intake. This system is more effecient and adds more power. Any system hooked up correctly would eat up a stock prelude anyday. What year is the prelude anyway. They really arent that fast. I have a friend with a 96' vtec and one with a 99' vtec. The 99 is bone stock and I can keep up with it in my auto without NOS. You shouldnt have to big of a problem. ANd both of theirs are 5-speeds.

Lowering springs, custom grille, soon to be custom painted and have the whole engine rebuilt for big shot NOS and custom SC and tranny converted to 5-speed.

 

well if he has vtech he's lying, cause it's VTEC.

VTECH makes inexpensive phones.

The NOS in a bottle you are referring to is nothing more than Octane Booster. It's great to increase your octane rating but thats pretty much it. Save up some money and get yourself a dry kit. I paid 549.00 for my Zex kit. Good thing about the kit is that it gives you a choice of three jets to use; 55, 65 or 75 hp. Plus, you dont have to modify your fuel system like wet kits. That should be more than enough to take care of the Prelude.. If you want to go big time then you can invest in a wet kit but be prepared for some major modifications.

 

lose that wouldn't make me look to good. i always forget how to spell vtec, actually honda spells it wrong but we don't have to talk about that. do you guys think i should go anyway and try to represent?

 

I was going to point that out.. But I thought it would be mean.. =) Hehe.. Were there VTEC ludes in 93?? I'm sure from 95 on there were.. Not so sure about 93 though.

really has vtec and he absolutely refused to pop the hood. then he started talking **** about he had to go. after seeing that i'm positive i can beat him. i'm going to race him he backed out this time but never again. well the day wasn't totaly wasted i was forced into putting an MX3 in its place. i was driving home on the highway and she just keep buging me. i didn't want to race her, i was trying to save gas, the road was wet and it was dark i just wanted to go home. but she was just there bugging me like a house fly, so i put it in 4th and took off. people see the neon lights and the valve cap lights and automaticly want to race you.

you guys were right about that nos thing it did nothing for proformance, but i saved alot of gas with it.

 

the 93 vtecs are the fastest preludes honda ever made, even faster than the 2000's. pretty stupid huh

 

Don't get all discouraged by Vtec!! Remeber it only kicks in at redline NOT THROUGH THE ENTIRE POWERBAND!!! If the lude even reaches topend on you, the Vtec will kick in, but rememer don't always let those flashy Vtec badges fool you!

 

i have an acura with vtec and vtec kicks in around 4-5 thousand rpms on up

 

I really meant around redline 5000-6000 is basically when all the REAL hp (the dealer told you the car had) KICKS IN!!! and thus also when your Vtec hits!! but you are right, about the '93 ludes, worked on one before at my old job, those SOB's if properly worked and tuned can kick up some dirt!!!

 

i cant believe im actually hearing praise for a honda. is it just the civics you guys hate or hondas in general.

 

and i really don't believe it's vtec anyway there's noway he could afford that.

 

Get off this board Travis you dont belong here. haha J/k
I guess you got nothing better to do than to read about my car. Tryin to learn some new things to tell me when I come home from school or something?

just tryin to help some fellow car junkies out with my expertise

 

I've got respect for all cars, but its when some guy pulls up next to me and has his '84 Civic (just an incident the happen lately) with every performance sticker in the world on it (including a NISMO and Harwood one(he had no body kit) and starts reving his POS "NON-MODDED" car like hes gonna pull some stunning take off on me! Its really funny!! but I've got respect for all Hondas and other "rice prone" cars except when they are abused!! Anyone who can pull of a 10 second run in '94 Integra and whoop up on a late model Supra gets MAD PROPS!!!!(man, what a sight that was!)

 

props to you man for being open-minded. i know what you mean though. im probably one of those ppl though. my fav is f'n with the v-8's, not b/c i think i can beat them but b/c i like to see what they can do.

 

yep, yep. I still think that anyone with a max that thinks that can tear up an 87+ V-8 stang is smokin crack. Its just not possible. I love messin with them to. Its fun to see how much faster a car can really be.

the max has so much pick up but there's so many cars out there that would eat it for breakfast. i kindda forget about that when i'm reving away

 

Really? My friend has a 95. So the 93 is the same body style right? I like how the older body style ludes looked on the outside. Looks like a rocketship. =)

Well, the car won't be below 5000 rpm except in 1st. So, it seems like VTEC makes a difference to me.. Believe me.. I've driven my friend's lude a few times.. Its got high end that a maxima wish it had. I'm sure a 4th gen and up maxima 5-speed could hang. But not a 3rd gen non VE. Anyways, sounds like the prelude dude was lying about his VTEC anyways. Its easy to tell. The H22A has a HUGE VTEC logo on the valve cover.

I raced an 88 or 89 Prelude 5spd once.
I beat it badly.
haha

93 Vtec. hmm crap
my neighbor had a 93 Accord 5spd. We raced too. I won at every speed we started at. 0, 45, 70.


i dont' know if 93 had vtec or not.

Honda's there 4 cylinders can get alot of power fairly easily, but people just kill them. Alot of Civic boys slap on stickers and talk so much **** that it just ruined Honda's reputation. They still make great cars but they got alot of idiots behind the wheel too. Any car manufacturer does but honda seems to have the majority. And Ford, Mustang boys like to talk alot about Imports. When they have no room to talk unless their the v-8. v-8 mustangs are ok, Z28 Camaro is one bad ****.

Every car has it's high's and it's lows. Credit is given where credit is due.
