Well, if you have the VTEC Prelude, then you are set. If not, then I would find an H22A1, (the Prelude VTEC engine for your corresponding year), and swap it in. Because of the engine already being 11:0 to 1 compression ratio, then you could always make it all engine, not a turbo setup, as lower compression is better for turbo setups and that engine is high compression. So, get the basics like Intake, Header, Exhaust. Then you can move to maybe some stage one cams where you can keep the stock valve train but still put in higher lift cams and get a little more HP and a more aggressive VTEC crossover. Now it was also mentioned above to get a VTEC controller. But this is not recommended as it has been proven to be very dangerous to your car. Some people have had really bad problems with these devices and are not recommend them. Just chip the computer or get Hondata and really control your computer the right way. From there, you mentioned suspension. It was mentioned above to just get lower springs. That works yes, but if you do that I highly recommend getting new struts, it has been proven time and time again that stock struts with lowering springs does not end well. Now sure some people do have it work fine, but why take the risk? You can just get full coilovers, like I have, so you can just the height when you may need to take it up or slam it down. Next you can get the front and rear strut tower bars to help alter the unibody's tendency to flex. Also maybe some control arms, and lower tie bar. Also you can go ahead and get an entire suspension bushing kit. It has every bushing for your car's suspension, most of the time in polyurethane, and will help as the bushing on your car are over 10 years old, and as move to each suspension part you can replace the bushings as you go, or go ahead and do them all at once. Finally, you can get some nice sticky tires to help grip to the road better.
