beeing trying to figure out what it takes to bang out 300 hp at the rear for a while.. so far this is my plan.

Dinan Stg. 4 Engine Software Download
Dinan Cold Air Intake
Dinan Air Flow Meter
Dinan Throttle Body
Dinan front and rear strut
Some time of exaust, not sure yet. I want to hear some first.. no fart tips going on my car...

I figure that should put me pretty close. Any input?

Front & rear strut, that's good for about 20rwhp.

fizler · #3 (**permalink**) 02-20-2003, 06:29 PM

yea right. since you have a 92 prelude, why would you comment?

He was pointing out the fact that you had suspension pieces in a thread about how to gain HORSEPOWER.

BAC5.3 · #5 (**permalink**) 02-20-2003, 06:40 PM

that was harsh. your "plan for power" did include some things that dont create power, such as the strut braces.

cold air, chip, exhaust and throttle body wont get you at 300hp.

I think your gonna need more than that.

but since I have a subaru, maybe I shouldnt comment.

Ok he was making the point that strut bars won't give you any performance gains. With those mods expect 10rwhp. Nothing more.

fizler · #7 (**permalink**) 02-20-2003, 06:41 PM

why does dinans site claim more.

for about 2000 bucks.. i'd put a down payment on a supercharger.

If you really want 300 rwhp, why not try a turbocharger... they seem to work wonders for power.

fizler · #9 (**permalink**) 02-20-2003, 06:44 PM

well those are around 8k bucks if im not mistaken.. a 25k car with 8k into it should have at least 400hp in my book. might just get a z06

You want 300 to the rear wheels ???? going NA?

No way, unless you got somebody really tunning your engine like crazy....then MAYBE!

With the above mods you'll get maybe 20 to 25HP to the wheels.

::fizlers hopes have been shattered::

how much HP would i need to hit 175mph?

MrPayne · #12 (**permalink**) 02-20-2003, 07:00 PM

With the right gearing, maybe 300rwhp to get to 175mph. If you want 300rwhp that badly, you could go for a monster cam & some good heads (along with a completely optimized exhaust system, ie: no cats).

Just because he has a Prelude, you're hating on him? That's ****ED UP.

By the way, you aren't even going to see 250 RWHP with the mods you listed. Might as well go forced induction.

Our cars top speed is not limited by Hp it is limited by the dif, contact BMP and price out your options. Also loose that OBD II crap if you wana hit 300 N/A. And remember not to do rice boy math when figuring out HP. 10 from an intake and 15 from exhaust does not equal 25 net HP. And most important, this should be in E36 tech!
