8,000 is my goal for now and is what i have to spend as we speak, im sure as the weeks go on (this will take like 2 months to complete) ill have closer to 11,000.......price isnt the issue, and the car is going to be built proper , i have access to a full shop when i need the motor done and the guys at rpm auto performance here in bolton are ready to lend a hand....they just finished building my 408 stroker in my mustang and havent really done much imports, so there always looking for a project to do just to kidna get reconized in the scene.

lol ya never know.......worth a shot, im just amazed at how cheap they r......there comparable to a b16 motor wise, i just know the swap itself is a pita and thats where the cost diff comes into play, but still who wants 160hp when u can have 200 and some torque?

i was going to say if you wanted to be different and had a budget of $8k go with a k-series.
Do you know why there isn't a demand for h22's anymore?...lol
Anyone who's done an H22 swap before will tell you that your prices aren't really realistic.
IMO if you wanna boost go with a b18b. With your budget you could put a reliable, powerful, nicely tuned turbo setup on a b18b including the price of the b18b swap, if you do the work yourself.
You could run 10-12 psi all day long if it was tuned real good. Then there's always the option of building/rebuilding the bottom end so it could take more boost for about another $2-3K.

realistically speaking... even if you custom eveyrthing, and do the work/install yourself, like i did... ur looking at 3-4 g's for a reliable turbo setup..and thats still without extensive tuning.
let alone, he has to change many parts to make sure that motor is up to the job of being boosted.. ie. timing belt, water pump, cap/rotor, plugs, clutch, and a pair of really good driveshafts... people break the shafts on stock h22's in civics alone, now boosted..thats another thing.
depends how much power he wants, he can safely build a 300 whp and a lot of torque from a d series... and i mean full internals, sleaves, etc..
but remember, its all about the tuning, i've seen boosted h22's blow up at only 7 psi because of bad tuning. expect to pay in the area of 750-1200 for really good tuning.

Anything boosted is sweeet 
but it does need a bit more attention than a N/A set up...
Yeah 4g's sounds about right for a nice reliable set up and 5-7 psi max for stock h22's more than enuf pwr to keep you happy in a very light car....

You guys make it sounds like he is going to Fail.
let him do what he wants to do with a limited budget. nothing is impossible!
i say Goodluck with it.
my G2 Teg will be going for boost! B18A of course

a guy in windsor has a 6th gen coupe H22 turbo, his engine blew while on the dyno at 5 psi, so he had to have it built, hes making 400 whp now but he also has over $15000 in the engine alone. your budget is weak.
