you dont' sound like you know enough about how a motor functions to use a turbo system wisely... most of the time the help people need is finding out who makes parts for the given application... not the fundamental basics of needing to know what it takes to +t a motor.

i know wat the fuk i need, jus need som1 good knows wat there doin to do it an jus like witch parts or brand are better an shit!!!

[VashThaStampede]

sleeves.. H22 sleeves are thinner than any other... people think because its closed deck (which also means there is NO block guard for em,or even anywhere to install that guard) that its great for boost,,thats not the case.. It may last for a while, but the b series still has more potential...

bottom line. sleeve it.

[Gooback]

cant put a b in the prelude there guy :)

wsup wit these shops around here any good? or jus done by som1 who knows wat there doin

whats the #

Before doing anything I would have a compression test done on the motor. Then if everything is all good, have all the belts and seals replaced. Then worry about brands of parts or who to install the parts.

wat should the compression results come out too? an shouldnt i wait to get the belts and seals done when i get my motor rebuilt?

ok what all do you plan on doing to the car? just wanting to throw a turbo kit on it?

want to build it? whats your goal or do you just want to say you have a turbo?

[CaDDiLaCin]

well i got widebody done to it so now its even more heavier than it was, but i want my ride to be fast, reliable (wont be daily driven), an done rite. An no i dont just wanna say i have a turbo, i want it to perform well also!!! :rock:

this is just a little estimate ATLEAST 7k ++++ , if u plan on sleeving,fully built block/head, n all the turbo parts, plus tunning, plus labor

koo thanxs alot so you know any good shops?

[cypher]

I would check all the sponsors listed on the site and talk to each then ask around about the shop you like. All are more then able to setup a package for u and install it..

[CarConnection]

well, while it may be a no brainer, it's also not unheard of to see stupid swaps into ludes... so by 2.2 vtec i assume you mean an H22a1 and not a F22a4 or anything from the 5th gen accord SOHC/vtecs correct?

That estimate of 7k for everything is about par for a well built setup, your also looking at downtime out the ass, so if you don't have a daily you'll need one. And also if that is an h22a1 its closed deck, which IIRC you cannot sleeve.

if you are legitimately serious about turbo'ing your assumed H22a1 4g lude, pm me and i'll shoot you the build list/cost that i put together when i was considering doing the same thing back in the day. i had discount hookups that may still be active to get you parts @ a good price.

yeh thanks alot you got pm

@$5.5k+1yr downtime(finding some parts, waiting on others, w/laziness to put together)=turbo ready H22a4. Now all I need is a 5spd tranny, turbo kit, have everything balanced, assembly, install, tune, and many more accessories. As you can tell, it has it's headaches.
Your route may be different b/c you have a slightly different h22 but in the end, $$$ and time have to be available. Ask all the site sponsors and talk to them and ask questions. remember, there is no such thing as a stupid question when asking the guys who work at the shop because everybody at one point or another wanted to know what is good for what and what does what.

sounds like u need 2 figure out exactly what direction ur headin with the car...u took an already heavy honda, and made it heavier, but now, u wanna make it fast...and after turbocharging a 140k+ car, u still want it 2 b reliable, all the stuff u r doin interferes with somethin else u have already done, turbo may make it faster, but i doubt it will make it *fast*, 2 heavy, but anyways ur car ur idea go ur way, if u can pick a specific one

It's going to take a pretty big chunk of change to do full blown build up and turbo with your car. After factoring in the cost of everything you would want to have to put that kind of power down, you may be well into 10-15k territory.

sleeves.. H22 sleeves are thinner than any other... people think because its closed deck (which also means there is NO block guard for em,or even anywhere to install that guard) that its great for boost,,thats not the case.. It may last for a while, but the b series still has more potential...

bottom line. sleeve it.

when running after market forged alum pistons you will need to sleeve it. h22's have a weird lining on the walls that wont go well with after market pistons.

the cyl. walls arent the problem either of it being thin or whatever. its the stock pistons. they wont hold up the ringlands will crack.

being closed deck there is no need for a block gaurd... so it IS good. hows it not the case? block gaurds just keep the cylinders from vibrating. being closed deck it is solid. closed deck will probably still be better than an open deck gaurded block.

[spooze]

honda-tech.com buddy. do some research.

i have spent over 12k on my motor alone. and i am still not done. i still need hondata, gauges, axles, boost controller, turbo timer, and good motor mounts. never ending list

i'm betting more along the 15-20k mark, to do it right, with all the accessories needed to do it.
