Turbo F22a6 Build. Opinions Please

[slostjoe]

Ok so i have a 92 Accord Ex Coupe with 202,xxx miles on it and it was an auto when i bought it and has been extremely well maintained.

So I swapped it over to a 5spd with and H22 Trans and exedy 6 spuck clutch.. and bought an STR Log style manifold, I have a walbro 255,precision 680cc,turbonetics 60trim,tial 38mm,Innovate LC-1 wideband,tial 50mm bov,Chipped P06 for chrome, and i still had some part laying around from my evo like a buschur 4" FMIC and going to custom make my Ic piping all alluminium, going 3in turbo back no cat with a vibrant flat black 3" muffler. I will be ordering bisimoto F22 turbo cam as well, and this summer def an OBX lsd

So i would like some opinions on this setup and what i should be hoping for power wise. This WILL NOT be dd because i have another car this is just a side project lol
Thanks Skyler

sounds awesome, i would once i had the money but since it will be my dd im doing everything i can n/a

[slostjoe]

Yeah i hear ya it helps to have more than one car

well the f series is a decent motor to boost. i would recommend a copper head gasket to handle the extra spool, bigger injectors, bigger fuel pump, and it sounds like u got the rest already. im not perfect on ecu so couldn't tell ya which is better. but start out with small boost. ive heard rumors of the stock f22 with all stock bottom end holdin 30 psi, but never accually seen it. 10 would be safe i would think to start

Keep the figures low to start with - 220-260hp, and progress from there.
I probabally wouldn't attempt to go over 350hp on the stock bottom end and still be reliable.
At least throw in some rods and pistons if you do plan to exceed 300hp in the future.

my recomendations would be to not use a log manifold. They are innefficient and boost spike monsters. try a mini-ram or ramhorn. Those work well, spool real decent and make good power on street.

and if you're going to get a tial 38mm wastegate, get there new MVS vband ones. I just got a pair yesterday for my ek. theyre pretty sweet. no more bolt flanges, no more blowing gaskets and they come with race gas valves already in em(regular 38mm gates can't run leaded race gas). also they are really small, perfect for real tight engine bays.


You have a good setup going. I wanna see it together and running. Don't forget a nice sized set of injectors as well.

happy boosting,

Sorry forgot that in the original post i have precision 680's and a walbro 255!

[slostjoe]

So yeah if some of you didnt already know ebay manifold FTL!

so your not doing any internal work to the bottom end??? Im asking because im toying with the idea of boosting as well, but at the moment dont want to invest 1k on internals if the motor can withstand 8-10 psi without buying NEW internals... Is it safe to boost with 100k+ mile motor?

Yes i am and i def think the motor can handle it from what i have read anyways seems semi safe but there are no gaurentees.

Copper head gaskets are a bad idea. ONLY run an OEM honda gaskets.
stock block is good to about 15-16 psi 20 on a random day. I ran my stock block at 1 bar (14.4 psi) for about three years before a ring land broke.

your kit should net you 300+hp no problem.

Great thats what im looking for and i would only use oem stuff on the stock motor.. Im just have trouble with this chrome stuff being so new to it im used to evo scan and safcs lol

[cb7younggun]

what are you planning on doing with the car when u r done
