Hey there folks
As the title says I want to turbo my f22a1 in my 90accord.
As some reading the main reason everyone loves to boost these engines is because it has iron sleeves and a slightly lower compression.
I have also read that the stock f22a1 head is very horrible when bigger power is applied.
There are a few questions I want to ask.
1. I want to look at either swapping a h22 vtec head or a h23. Which requires less work?
2. What amount of boost would be appropriate for a 120k mile engine?
3. Are there any other possible tuning options besides Greddy Emanage Ultimate?
4. What are the stock axles hp rating?
My basic plan is to take my friend TD04 off of his 1995 Saab 9000 Aero, The TD04 he is giving me is capable of 21psi max.
This will be my first ever turbo design.
(I say design because turbo builds I have done. Its just putting the pieces together. I havent selected them myself and for tuning purposes. Hence why I use Design)
For the TM I plan to scrap the current Prelude Turbo manifold Plan and remake it to the Accord.
Now Injector wise and such Whats an appropriate cc? I was think 600ish but some of my friends said 1000cc for extreme versatility and tunning accuracy
For Exhaust Im figuring 3', no cat, triple resonator, mandrel bent. Sound good?
I've heard a upgrade in valvetrain is a necessity but I dont want to do internals until the engine gives and I have to rebuild
For intake to the turbo I was planning on Adding a Weapon-R Secret Weapon intake to the turbo so that its taking air from the way bottom. (I understand what will happen on wet days)
For the IM i was just planning on a small port on the TB and maybe some smoothing on the inside of the manifold.
Since the turbo is internal wastegate the only thing I can really get is a Boost Controller. (Had a really good one on the last turbo project. Only 25 bucks)
For the Misc, 2.5 Intercooler piping, with a Greddy Type S BOV (if I can Find it), NGK Platinum Plugs, NGK Power Plugs.
I would also like suggestions from all of you as well:
My friend already suggested a Msd 6Al blaster coil and a VAFC if I get the head
Thanks all for your time

) here to make the swap quick and painless. When that job is complete, you'll have far fewer long-term issues when you do put together your turbo setup. I'd recommend sticking with the F22A1 head, however. With a decent port job, it can flow as well as (or better than) either of the H heads, and will bolt back on with NO modification necessary.
