how do I make my honda prelude faster then a gti without changing exhaust?
my best friend just bought a 2001 volkswagen vr6 last night and my 99 prelude is now challenged for the crown of fastest car among our friends. I want to make my car faster without adding exhaust because i hate the loud drone of an exhaust system. what can i do to do the engine naturally (no turbo) that will increase hp and make my car fly by his gti like hes standing still? I guess another side question to this question is whats the best way to start/launch my car in first gear? vtec kicks in around 5200 but tires spin so its tough to get a good start and he smokes me everytime cause he has traction control. any help is appreciated. thanks!
first off everyone is acting like the vr6 is a freaking beast on the road. I have driven one and I have driven a modified civic that was just as fast without a turbo. If it was the new 06 vr6 you would have no hope but the 01 you coul definatly get him. Look the prelude engine you have is an h22 and its pretty good once you open it up. All you need is a good cold air intake(look into injen), a performance exaust system that is dyno proveen to increase horsepower beccause not all of them will, and a good pair of headers(dc has good ones). Also a high flow cat would help. I garuantee you dont need more than that to beat if not keep up with him. You can also try getting a racing chip but if you do that change some of the internals of your engine(like racing cams or pistons).That stuff will cause serious bucks though. You can also get a plug n play or one with a v-tec controller so you can set when you want the v-tec to kick in. My friend had a b18c engine that was a mere 190 hp and he ordered some JDM parts did some work to the engine and turned it into a naturally aspired 400hp monster. No turbo. So you dont always need a turbo to make your engine fast.
