boost ghost

I would take into consideration how fast you wanna go, how much horse power you wanna make, and how much you wanna spend. What everyone is saying is true, "if your gonna do it, spend the money and do it properly". Tubo setups can be extremely reliable, but at the same time extremely costly.

around $3g will get you a decent build that will be safe for around 300-350 whp on an H22. In stock form your running on borrowed time with a turbo setup, even if its a mint tune.

H22 = Good for NA applications stock but can be a beast when built properly.

Not alot of people boost these motors cause they can't handle it like most B series do stock.

A stock JDM F22B is much better for a turbo setup, low compression iron sleeves.

But if you decide to build the H22 you can throw down some serious numbers, but then your into issues like tracktion, so then you gotta think if its worth it or not.

Do some research on H-T about the setups.

H22 = Sex X 2

its about money and knowledge... if you have both, you can turbo anything you like.... do some more research, turbo is more than what you think...... if you're a guy full of knowledge and skills, just turbo it, you can always fix it, inspect it, maintain it well... all those will be easy task for you... if you're a guy full of money, tune it damn right... problems might not even ever happen so long you do maintenance on time.....

do some more search like most said... turbo is not as simple as bolt-on... no one knows you better than yourself... you should decide on your own based on your gut-feeling... ask yourself... do you have the spare money, do you have the spare time, do you have enough knowledge... i hope this can get you right to a solution... =)

And most have no idea how reliable boosted tuned hondas are when there done properly!

To many horror stories off.. Man,, i was doin wot Pulls in 5th with my ALL MOTOR program on my SPOON ecu and my motor makes noise now.. WT

turbo is hella money if ur doing right, ive been gathering my kit for almost a year and half now , (working for money for parts , finding deals etc...) believe me u better be willing to afford and invest time into it , otherwise swap a b or k and be on ur way :O!

the price of going F/I is much less than all motor.

Really? I don't think so, seeing as our cars are naturally aspirated to begin with it costs more to go FI than to stay all motor. hehe
You should spend at least $4000-5000 after everythings all said and done (turbo parts, bigger injectors, bigger exhaust, engine management and the ever important tuning) on a good turbo setup. You can prolly do it for less buying used parts but you're always taking a chance with used parts. Especially turbos, i mean who turbo's there car to not beat the **** out of it?
$5000 would build one hell of an all motor monster that would put out as much whp as a mildly boosted stock engine any day. But you can't beat the torque a turbo creates.

my ECU with soon style programming?

I have a large bank of programs i run/test.. None of which are anything generic.. all one of a kind... made by me.

My personal best program tested only by *** dyno picked up 4mph and 4tenths. With no other changes to the car.. Consistant before/after as well

I also make basemaps for many setups.

Since the track is a cheaper testing option to the expensive dyno. There are no numbers.



#1 rule with a boosted honda.. %20 should be spent on tuning!!

imported_weiRtech

if i had the chance to do it again, i'd have boosted my d motor first and learned on it before swapping to a b. that way if you make any mistakes that turn the engine into a grenade, you have an excuse to put a b in and you've learned from your mistake what not to do the second time around.

chris_si98

You do have a point Andrew. But, I was thinking of it more this way. You can spend $3500 on a greddy kit + tuning. Or you can spend $3500 on a b18c1 full swap. The boosted engine would have more power. But if you spend that 3500$ and build up an engine like you are doing yourself, then it would be a different story. And it would be a hell of a lot more reliable than a boosted D.
