Are you installing the blower soon?

muha22752

very nice i was wondering if cl's were faster than ludes. but just so u know, it is very hard to get more power out of a honda prelude without major mods like.............aaaaaaaa..............boost, lol. but anyway what gen lude dose ur brother have?

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

I can attest to that.

nf3d0149ab

iTrader: (5)

Well I def. think I can smoke a Lude...and that's no offense to them.

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

x2. I loved my old Prelude, even though I only had it for 3 months

I respect them, but unless they are modded, the CL will still beat it.

i use to own a lude before my tranny went out...i had a 98... 97 to 01 if i remembered right is the same body (the newer ones)... and i raced my buddies cl-s back then... he smoked me

iTrader: (3)

yea im trying to get it put in within the next 2-3 weeks.

CL-S progression 01

iTrader: (2)

brother HAS a 97 prelude. with skunk 2 manifold, AEM cai, dc headers. It runs reall good i'll say thatt.

Yea the CL-s would dust hims even stock from a stand still cause of the TQ..

But we did this comparison from the beginning of his 3rd gear in vtec and wherever I was is where I hit the gas and before my pulley, he'd be even for a whileee and then i'd creep by him..

After I got the pulley I had just installed the manifold on his car and my gains we HUGE comparerd to his because we did the same "race" and this time the cl just pulled away instantly.

The CL loves mods GUYS... LOVES them.

P2R plenums and tb spacer/gaskets will be on my car in no more than 2 weeks so we'll see what THAT does to the beast in another comparison..

I'm in the process of getting my brother to do the pulley and cat-back exhaust as well so he won't be in my dust instantly...

LOL

But i'm affraid he won't have a choice

^ Nice.

duCksterz

isnt the underdrive pulley bad for the a/c and the system? cuz it take 25% less voltage or something?

AnthraciteBeast

iTrader: (3)

^ no, its not

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

Its only bad if u have a powerful system. The. Alternator won't charge the batt. like it shoul

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

If you have a 6MT, you can upgrade to the automatics alternator if you are really worried about it. Im pushing 600 watts with my system and an underdrive pulley without any problems.

in allllll honestly i can hear the a/c when on FULL slow down just a hair... but thats all she wrote. This puppy has no other sideaffects

immauser

iTrader: (1)

i just got it installed.... and i seriously feel a difference in pull......how is that possible since it has nothing to do with the cam etc....?

immauser

iTrader: (1)

nvm..reread the previous posts.... but its worth it

AnthraciteBeast

iTrader: (3)

^ lol


Good to hear you like it

immauser

iTrader: (1)

yea...i doubted the gains at first.... my cousin who installed it doubted the gains since it had nothing to do with the actual engine and told me its fast IN PEOPLES HEADS...haha... but as i drove away from the shop, i felt pull when i gas the car! WTF!...i thought its in my head ..so i took it on the freeway and that shit PULLS ...

StonedCL

iTrader: (1)

After i put in the option pulley i felt no difference (my ac blows colder ) and after I put in my TB and IM spacers and cleaned out my IM and EGR port no difference. The only difference i felt performance wise was the headers..
Suspention is a whole diff story and the did the B& G shocks/springs good handling and quiet (my old stock springs/shocks had 155k on them) and after the Progress RSB and MOOG sway bar links and polyurethane bussings the car handles GREAT!!
The car drives and handles better now with 170K then when it had 70 miles when I picked it up from wayne Acura May 2000!!

I felt like throttle response was more crisp, and that the engine was a bit happier to rev.

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

the light weigh pulley on a 6spd just wakes up the engine. rpm flys up on each gear. non stop pull

immauser

iTrader: (1)

i was gonna post that before u did...the engine pulls non stop...i hit a 100 w/ no prob and it was still climbing without hesitation but i ended up letting go

grabbing one this week for the TL

AnthraciteBeast

iTrader: (3)

So you guys are saying that if I let you drive my CL without the pulley, and the let you drive it again WITH the pulley and DON'T tell you I put it on, you WOULD be able to tell the difference?

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

But you just told us so we'd know something is up if you asked us to drive it the second time

AnthraciteBeast

iTrader: (3)

^ :smartass:


Ok someone not on AZ could tell the difference?

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Honestly, probably not. As I said, I didnt feel the car accelerate any faster. It just felt like throttle response was improved.

immauser

iTrader: (1)

heres wut it is..if ur car is modded already, i dont think youll feel anything...but for a stock..i think theres def a diff

CL-S progression 01

iTrader: (2)

^^^ u got a point I only had the intake on my car... this was my 2nd mod..
But honestly... for me at least I could tell the diff from b4 and after IF i new shit all about it.. but was looking to see if there was any diff in power...

It's no slap in the face... but i sure can tell it make a difff... i got proof as my thread started off.

TB spacer gaskets and plenums are in the mail. BALLLIN

gnuts

iTrader: (1)

You ordered them eh...should have waited and did the 09 TL intake manifold with me

AnthraciteBeast

iTrader: (3)

Thats what i thought.

AnthraciteBeast

iTrader: (3)

I want to see whats up with that mod but i missed it when it was starting out and now im too lazy to read 10+ pages lol

gnuts

iTrader: (1)

Instead of porting your CL intake manifold and using P2R plenums, you can use the 09 TL IM...with potentially better gains and less $.

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

"potentially" we shall wait and see

CL-S progression 01

iTrader: (2)

i bought them off a member for 345 shipped to canada.. and I don't feel like modding a bunch of other crap or run into any troubles.... it works and it's a decent price.. I love the low end tq gains with this mod since it my daily driver. and it looks pretty bad as under the hood...

CL-S progression 01

iTrader: (2)

i like the reliability and i'm getting the tb spacer so it's gonna give my some juice. then when i toss on headers it'll be mental gains.. since the exhausts is all stock.

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

headers will still give u gains with stock or aftermarket exhaust. i made about 20whp on my tl-s with stock exhaust
