Well you are being an asshole about it. I was trying to offer you my opinion. Now your going to hear what I really think. Your engine sucks. It has decent torque but only 150 hp. on a 3000lb car. The reason everyone tells you to get a Prelude engine is because your engine has almost no aftermarket backing. That is the reason I told you to get a Prelude engine. Even fully built your stock engine will be lucky to put 170-190 to the wheels whereas with a Prelude engine you would have 170+ after I/H/E. There are almost no companies that offer internals for your engine, and if they do it is probably for forced induction. The reason I told you Prelude engine is because you can get a decent one for $2400 and then have it swapped into your car at almost any shop for $800-$1000. That puts you at about $3500 out the door. In Orlando there is a guy with a 99 EX Accord with a 98 Prelude Engine in it. He just added a supercharger and is now running 13's. So a Prelude swap is possible and very feasible. Your car weighs in at a hefty 3020. That is a little heavier than my car, with a Prelude engine you would be able to run low 15's or high 14's. Your engine in your car now is a 2.3 liter. It is the same basic design as the 2.3 H23a in the Si Prelude. My advice to you is if you want to keep your engine than build the internals and then go Turbo. The H23a was great for forced induction because of the lower compression. If you want to build you engine than I can respect that, just don't ever think you are going to acheive 250 to the wheels, that is a little out of your league. So when people give you their advise maybe you should calm the Fu*k down and just thank them for it. Peace.
