project f22a1
I was thinking if this is a good setup or scrap it and go with a H22a1. I have a f22a1 in my accord and wanted to add,pistons and rods and everything els. and boosted to 30-40 pound.this is depending on the budget pros and cons for both.

30-40lbs of boost is a lot. You would need to have your motor fully built and it wouldn't be any good if this is your daily driver. If you have an h22 than throw it in. If not just build your f22.

30-40! holy crap.
The h22 would be a much cheaper way to get some power and would be much more reliable.
I thought about stripping down an f22 and building it for boost in the low teens but it was going to cost almost tripple the cost of an H22.Comment

The initial cost would be a con. However, the pro would be that you would have double the whp and a freshly built engine.Originally posted by jasongc3 View Post

I think you need to do a bit more research on your options. Either one is worth your time, but you clearly have a very basic understanding of all that is involved. When you get to the level of a full high-boost turbo build, you've got to do much more than simply throw parts at it. You need to plan everything out very carefully.

Actually building an F for boost is doable with not THAT much money. Triple the cost of an H22 swap - possibly. Depends on how much work you can do yourself. It is possible to do under $3000 with clutch and everything in the car and ready to go - stock sleeves though. Then you still need to buy turbo parts and tune, that could easily bring it up to $5000 - buying quality stuff. Once again, it can all be done for way less, but I am assuming quality parts and paying a shop to do engine build.
And about running 40lbs boost - lol. It is not a diesel truck, it is a Honda. What is your horsepower goal? 1000 ....? lolComment

to the OP, 30-40lbs of boost? you better have like $7,000 on just your motor build, then $3,000 for a tranny that can hold that kind of power.
you have never touched a car have you. you googled turbo. and stated on a web site a ridiculous number for boost.

Firstly... welcome to the club... interesting goal set by you and yes, the boost numbers are a bit high... but what do you have planned for your cb7 other then the boost idea?... is it your daily driver?... weekend warrior or a straight off track car?... either way, best of luck...Comment

Ok, thanks for responses. Thats why I wanted ideas I know that the h22 a good one is around $1300. My f22 block is still a vergin the pistons are clean the sleevs are also clean and I thought that getting some good pistons and rods and buying a approriate turbo kit and running with that as my daily driver

If it was me personally id go with and ebay kit and get a better turbo as ebay turbos are hit and miss aswell as a waste gate just my .02 cause im cheap.Everything else on there kits seem to work well besides the WG and turbo.If you go that route then also be prepared to have the manny re welded they tend to crack personally id go with a log setup.Last edited by SOHC-FTW; 12-19-2010, 05:18 PM.
