Force-Fed Prelude
Words: Sean Greene | Photos: Jim Edwards
ETD Racing And DRAG Give A Much-Needed Boost
The Honda Prelude may not be as popular as the Civic or the Integra, but it does have a rather large tuner following. One of the reasons that the Prelude isn’t as modified as often as other Hondas is that the model’s initial purchase price is considerably more than a Civic Si or Integra GS-R, since the Prelude was better appointed with options and a more powerful engine.
In its stock form, the H22A produces between 195 hp and 200 hp (depending on the year of the Prelude). Unfortunately, the aftermarket was fairly sluggish to jump on the bandwagon when it came to hardcore parts for Preludes, such as the valvetrains, superchargers and even turbo kits. Many enthusiasts were putting together their own turbo kits by making tubular exhaust manifolds, fabricating intercooler piping with U-bends and using a boost-sensitive fuel management system. For the most part, this method of boosting an H-series engine was acceptable, but unless you had a whiz that really knew what he was doing, the results of this home-brewed turbo system could be something less than expected. Thankfully, the H-series has better support nowadays and both enthusiasts and racers are making more power than ever with the aid of off-the-shelf turbo kits, like the DRAG system shown here.
The DRAG turbo kit comes with everything you need to start making power: a high-flow 4-into-1 cast-iron manifold; Turbonetics T3/T4 turbo; Turbonetics Deltagate with 7psi spring; DRAG high-flow front-mount intercooler; Blitz super blow-off valve; DRAG mandrel-bent chrome intercooler piping and mandrel-bent downpipe; DRAG wastegate dump-tube assembly; silicone hose and stainless steel hose clamps; high-pressure/high-volume inline fuel pump; boost dependent FMU, map sensor bypass; stainless steel oil feed and return hardware; and all necessary hardware and gaskets.
ETD Racing is one of many shops in Canada that are feeding enthusiasts with the fixes they crave. No stranger to performance, ETD has sponsored several successful pro racers and it is home to North America’s fastest-piston Mazda Miata. Luckily for HCI readers, an ETD customer purchased a DRAG turbo kit for his 00 Prelude and the crew covered the entire installation from start to finish. The kit is easy to set up it’s a bolt-on affair and only takes a few hours to install.
