Stock exhaust diameter is 2.0". The only Prelude to have any larger was the Type-S with 2.25". Either way you'll be fine.

The thing to remember with any performance Honda is they all make ~95+ BHP/Litre. Therefore to make any meaningful gains the mods have to be well thought out & compliment each other.

Pointless modifying an intake of you aren't going to do the exhaust for example...

Also you only ever get what you pay for- if you aren't prepared to shell out then don't expect any real improvements in power.

Will i have to get the engine rebuilt for a turbo? Whats the max bhp these h22 engines can take?

I've seen turbo'd H22s running 700hp, but that has been a big price tag on the build, and that was in the states where parts are generally a lot cheaper there than here.

To run around 300 bhp will i need to rebuild the engine or can the engine handle it

300 bhp+ turbo will need new pistons and sleeved block minimum (well, if you want it to last longer than a month, anyway!)
Not sure how much the standard rods can take?
