I have a 94 Prelude SI and I am starting this project up and i am looking for some ideas. Nothing to expensive but qaulity is a plus. I am trying to bring it to show and go style, but like I said nothing to crazy. Working from my inside out.

Here the way I want to go.

Suspension (would like adjustable ride height)
Headers (mine are pitch like crazy right now)
Exhaust (Maybe I have a tanabee on it now)
Wiring, fuel lines, hoses, etc
Starter (high torque)
ECU
Management system (Was thining Greddy E-Manage system)
Any other info would be nice
(Once all the stuff for the performce is taken care of I will be get the engine rebuilt, machine and port and polished and what not)

then move to the interior

Custom Gauges
Seats (Racing Bucket seats)
Interior (looking for suede door panels, roof and etc)
Good Tint
System (I have a pioneer head unit, I would like a nicer head unit as well, with one 10 and an MTX 81000D Amp, it hit like a beast, but I need a custom box built for it to fit in my trunk even with the spare in it)
-Also would like to replace the speakers in my car as well.

then move to the outside
Wheels/Rim- I may have to go to the rent a rim route unless I find a deal somewhere
Paint- need an affordable but nice paint job (was thining pear black with a blue tint)
Lights
Kit- havent decided because i like to look as stock as possible, but if you know a nice one it would be greatly appreciated


Any other info on projects and parts would be helpful. Shops that are good would be nice as well. I am on a budget and this is a project so it will be done in stages.

Thanks

 

+1 on keeping it stock looking, i personally think some subtle JDM style lips on the front and sides are more than enough to complement the car... maybe some black housing JDM/DIY headlights...

you might want to consider either a Type S longblock or internals (did the Si models have the H22AX or an H23?) or some aftermarket cams...

as for your interior plans, do what you will, but i think some S2000 or RSX leather seats would look better and sit better than some racing buckets (that, in my opinion, look retarded in FWD low output cars especially if they arent being raced)

and keep your eye out for rims, you can always find good deals if you are patient.

GL with the build man

 

My car has an H22A in it with only 30,000 miles on it.

 

well in that case, get a manifold, intake, cams, and some tuning on that puppy...

i dont suppose you would want to bump compression?

 

I dont think so. I am pretty new at this which is why I am looking for input. My friend is pretty knowledgable with cars, but I want as much input. I know alot about muscle car because I have a rebuilt 67 stang as well, but these tuners I need help on. Right now all I have is Tein Springs and Shocks, Tanabe Exhaust, Stock Headers I think, Cold Air (but looks cheap), FLuidyne radiator, thats it.

 

not a bad start.

might suggest you get rid of that cold air tho, i know short rams dont produce as much, but ive hydrolocked two D16s in my day... not a fun experience...

GL bro

 

+1 to skunk2. i hydrolocked my b16a2 with a CAI b/c i didnt have a bypass valve. now i cant afford to do that again. learn from other people's mistakes.

 

i think a bypass valve is worth the money,

there are plenty of them on SFPOA and you can ask around, see in sig

 

Picking up AEM Cold Air Intake, Fidanza LWT Flywheel, and DC Sport Headers later this week. Anymore suggestion

Oh and I am getting a bypass valve as well

 

if you are changing flywheels you might as well get a new/upgraded clutch, if you are planning on doing some more engine upgrades...

id say some cams, maybe cam gears, and a good tune and you will be off to a good start.

how crazy do you want to go?
