    Do Turbo's need any special maintenance

    Im getting an H22 installed on a '92 accord and wanted to install a turbo kit as well. My question is do turbo's need any special care at all or is it just start the car and go. I dont want to spend all this money and ruin the car. Thanks for the help.

    You probably want to search the site first. You have a loaded question really. If you're going H22 that is great. If you are going H22 + turbo there are other factors such as stopping and turning that come into play.

    My answer would be:

    If you have invested the time and money to make your 92 ready before you get the H22 + turbo, and then after you get the turbo you spend all the time and money to make everything work right... Then no, there will no extra care than you are used to putting into it.

    If you have not invested the time and money to make your car ready for a H22 + turbo... Yes, most likely there will be special care you have to put into the car since it is still designed for stock tolerances aged 20 years.

      Then you better tear down your motor, get it resleeved, and get some custom pistons. The H, along with the F, have weak ringlands, and they break when boosted.

        Ok will research more than I have already done. On that note everything is stock and nothing has been done. I will just do the swap and spend the turbo money on getting it ready. Also do you recommend any good Turbo brands or some better than others as performance and quality. Once again thanks for the advice.

          I wasn't sure you meant the turbo itself or the whole setup. If you mean the whole setup you're going to want to do your homework/research first. Putting a turbo in a H engine involves a re-make of the whole engine pretty much. (sleeves, rods, pistons, gaskets, greddy belts, pumps, etc). Do a search on this site and you'll find your answers.

            keep an eye on your air/fuel ratio, allow turbo to cool before turning car off, allow motor to come to temp before boost.

              Block guards warp cylinders. Resleeve.


              Also, if you're boosting, there's no need to do an H22A swap. Put the money you would be spending on the swap and build the F22A to handle boost. You'll get a much better result. If you boost a stock-block H22A, it'll blow fairly quickly. Honda's cast aluminum pistons aren't made for turbo, and when they're 10-20 years old, they won't last long.


              Anyway, to answer the actual question in the thread title, yes... turbo cars can require a bit more attention. It's not really that you need to DO more, just that you need to be AWARE of more. If something goes wrong with a turbo engine, it could mean catastrophic failure. In a non-turbo engine (that isn't being revved to the moon), such a thing could manifest much more slowly, allowing you to fix it before any serious damage is done.

                DOH! edited to show that.
