Wow, that looks awesome! What kind of turbo did you get and how much boost will you run after the break-in?

The turbo is custom built by PROTECH PERFORMANCE, I will be driving daily at 8 psi. But it is adjustable from the cab up to I think 20 PSI. I will also be putting in the bigger injectors and a fuel managment sysytem. When I get it back for good I will have a parts list with everything that I had modified, off the top of my head I can remember the following:

new cams and cam gears, cam pulleys, Greddy Evo exhaust, Greddy Intercooler, header, lowered compression ratio, forged internals and I also had it bored out. Balanced the block and thats all I can think of right now, but I will get the full specs and a DYNO sheet for it when I get it back from instaling the fuel managment system and injectors after the break in.

Awesome! Kudos on knowing your stuff when it comes to turbocharging. Too often do we hear about some moron who slaps on a turbo kit with no internal work, dials up insane boost and then complains about his blown engine. What octane gas are you planning on using for the 20 psi, just out of curiousity?

If you have larger injectors and upgraded fuel management, wouldn't you be running super rich at 8psi if it can go all the way up to 20? I'm just curious, I don't really know how it works. Does the ECU make the changes automatically when you change PSI settings?

Yea thats why you have to have the ECU. And Mark I don't know why the lights are brown, doesn't matter though the PHILLIPS HID kit is coming soon along with the body kit.

My friend has the same prelude as you (minus the turbo) and its fun as hell to drive... If i was ever to go for a honda, a prelude would be it (NSX's are out of my price range). Keep us posted with how it turns out.

Tree (the service writer at Protech) thinks I should be puttin down about 400 HP at full boost!!!!!!! With quarter mile times hopfully in the high 11's or low 12's, oh yea a Limited Slip Diff. is in the works as well!!!!!!!!!
