750HP RWD Honda Prelude! Converting a FWD Honda to a RWD platform is not easy task, but it does come with some solid benefits as we will discuss looking at this F20c powered space framed Honda Prelude [TECH TOUR].

------------------------------------
With an Ethanol fed, 24-26 PSI boosted, 9,000 RPM 750hp Dandy Engines F20c boasting Eagle Rods, factory crank and camshafts (because they're that good), aftermarket pistons, SuperTech valves and a new Garrett G35-900, this Fastr sponsored RWD converted Honda Prelude is no slouch in its regular appearances in the ACL Race Series.
Professional driver Brett Dickie took a few moments while at the World Time Attack Challenge to discuss his build (with the help of his skilled father) discussing the some of the advantages the rear wheel drive (RWD) conversion gives a driver behind the wheel along with his thoughts in passing on EMtrons torque management system.
As you might have guessed, the car runs an ProWire Performance Wiring fitted EMtron KV8 ECU along with a MoTeC CDL dash for some extra logging bandwidth and driver display duties which Brett felt was the best combination he could get for performance and his requirements without blowing out the budget too far.
We caught up with Brett just before his first run with the new Garrett G35-900 turbocharger which is replacing a 3076 and we look forward to getting his thoughts on a comparison next time we chat along with some of the data this system can and will provide him with as he and his team gets it all dialed in with the help of a Turbosmart E-Gate (electronic wastegate), DBW blow off valve, MAP sensors pre and post the throttle body and an exhaust pressure sensor.
With no bolt-on solution available, the dry sump setup is a mix of BDG dry sump components and a custom sump, with Brett sharing some thoughts on what he has learnt and would do differently second time around.
Tucked behind the F series engine is a 6 speed TTi GTO sequential gearbox and Motorsport Services strain gauge lever which feeds a GJ Drivelines driveshaft and R200 LSD diff center nicked from a Nissan Skylines rear end. The Nissan parts list also includes the uprights, with 300ZX ones used to help try and reign in custom work and give more bolt in part options, and of course being something that physically worked with the package.
Also touched on are some of the boost control strategies employed, but Brett is pretty straight up that his knowledge is more focused on being behind the wheel than behind the laptop, and with 20+ years of it his no doubt his feedback goes a long way to help dial things in for race day.
You can catch Brett and this build racing in the ACL Race Series, and you can catch Brett racing other cars like the previous title winning Elusive Racing DC2 Integra at the World Time Attack Challenge as well as other cars in Global Time Attack and Pikes Peak Hill Climb events.

The prelude should have been RWD from the factory. Honestly it would look so good sliding next to an s-chassis or an rx7

88 prelude. Maybe 89. No one rocks the amber tails. Respect. I had an 88 lude, and painted the Amber's red with testors candy red. It went to Hasport to make mounts for H22 conversion. Was a good sacrifice. But it does need slightly tilted up flip lights.

I think if his car wasn't mid engined (illegal to do in fia motorsports in Europe)(can't cut the firewall out) he'd be wrong look at btcc or wtcc Fwd is faster . Faster through the corners can carry more speed and rwd is only faster off the line and out of the corners but fwd if far better in the wet and on twisty bumpy tarmac stages 💯 when a Formula 2000 (280hp)(2liter) fwd rally car ie the Peugeot 306 and Renault Megan and Renault Clio kit cars can beat Wrc cars in the late 90s on tarmac like in Corsica it kinda proves my point a fwd beating a 4wd. And In Irish rallying (twisty narrow stages) when a €40k 280hp civic rally car with a k20 is faster than a €100k mk2 escort with a 2.5 Millington 350hp 🤙and even full wrc 4wd cars at the time like the s12 prodrive subarus (€500k) 💯👌

@Barry.ONeill 2 жыл бұрын

@@savagetuner2404 ther all mid engine I realised he has the engine shoved back which we can't do in fia motorsports 💯 but like for like fwd is faster on twistys. Top fuel is straight line on preped surface when off the line is far more important, f1 have to be rwd ther made mid rear enginened because the rules says so and because 4wd was banned and fwd was too complicated in the early days. I'm talking about on the stages in rallying these boys know me im all rally mainly and hillclimb. but il edit the comment and make it more appropriate to standard placement engine normal vehicles, if you watch touring cars all same weight same power fwd is faster especially in the wet. A fwd civic holds the lap record around suzuka for a saloon car. And a few other tracks around the world.👍I'm also a Mechanical engineer that builds mostly tarmac rallying, hillclimb, time attack, and drift cars here in Ireland 👌 so I've 2 decades of experience. In the motorsport world 👍Nissan had a fwd lmp1 car at one point too. But if its mid engined rwd is better and rwd is arguably more fun but I can make a fwd dance using leftfoot braking and the wand (handbrake)🤣
