H22 or turbo F22?

[mondojackal]

aight, before the flaming begins about n00bs and all that..listen to what i have to ask...
i have my stock F22 motor...291,XXX miles...
would it be better, cost not important, to completely rebuild my F22 and turbo that, or would it be better to go with the H22, i really dont want to go through the whole swap process with the H22 though, although i do want that motor...after all, i would have to wait until i got the money saved up for that, then i would have to wait to buy mods until after that. whereas if i turbo'd the F22, then i could go ahead and get mods for my motor, and use them until i get the turbo...

also, question for people like mike...can you get a boost controller that would allow you to run lower psi for street use/daily driving, and then let you run the boost higher for racing?? if so, that really pushes me towards the turbo route, cause that allows reliability and performance, which is always a good thing...

as with boosting your current motor, you'll be taking out you stock f22 to rebuild it as you said, so you already have it out, that would solve the whole swap issue sense it bolts right in.

as far as boost controller, is what it is, controlls boost, turn it up the boost and turns it down.

all depends on whatcha wanna do...

f22 with turbo and IHE....i dont mean to flame but woulndt taht be kinda an oximoron?....or by IHE do u mean charge pipes turbo manifold and exhuast?

[Accord R33]

if money is no object that obviously an H22 with boost would be the best option...

yeah, whatever you call it...it all serves the same purpose...thanks for the correction

Id say go with the h22 swap, just because ive heard that its almost a direct bolt on, and cuz i heard that they get up and go...just my opinion.

I have thought of getting an f22 block and starting over from scratch. but honestly the cost of getting piston, rods, and rings makes me wanna get a whole new motor....

im just gonna buy a junkyard motor with less miles on it than my motor...save time and effort and down-time that way...then just do what i can as i go along...

Just my two cents.

N/A H22a is more reliable than a turbo f22. That's just my opinion. There are some people on this forum who tune cars better than the dealer...but they are few and far between. I did an H22a swap with manual...oh god, it's night/day and I'll never go back =-)

well, im leaning towards the turbo...if its set-up properly, it will be just as reliable as an H22...plus i already have a 5-speed, and the turbo will have more power in the end anyways....

heres my opinion, turbo f22 owns h22s. I can prove it. Unless the got some serious work done. As the reliability issue, i know MRXs has his disagreement with turbo vs NA(and i agree with it), but i believe turbos do make your car less reliable to a certain extent. If i stayed NA, i wouldn't have had any of the problems ive had because they've been turbo related, but nothing seriously wrong. If you turbo your f22, you'll instantly understand why you chose that route when you hit the gas. If you do the h22, you'll never know what your missing out on.(and yes ive ridden in a h22 cb7). Theres just more maintaining to a turbo car, and you do have to watch over it more carefully.

paying attention to the signs is a must or boom
