I'm not running a prelude as a daily driver ... i've got a few prelude engine's worth of parts that i intend to reassemble and convert to ethanol. Compression ratio on that engine is like 9.5:1.

I would increase compression ratio ... but i want to go turbo on these prelude engines. Heated wire mesh on intake charge is a good idea ... i was sorta thinkin' about heating the fuel rail instead like what was previousely said.

I got another question for you guys ... do you think i should try to run carburated setup or keep the injection system ? i could very easily run a carburator on this. Would it make running e85 easier ? or i should just run injection setup the way it is ?



Update on project:

Engines completely disassembled
Heads ported and polished
Cylinder head assembly mockup done (had to make sure i still have all parts lol)

About to start sandblasting ...

I'll eventually post pictures ...


What is the Prelude going to be? 1/4 miler? autox? road course? such interesting little cars Smile
