12-1500 for a kit

93AccordEX

yea lol iim selling my accord for 1500 so maybe ill boost after all

You can buy a crappy E-Bay turbo kit for $800, but you get what you pay for. If you want your setup to be reliable and last for a good amount of time then you need to spend more in the $1,500 range that AHHVTEC was talking about. Don't forget to budget it fuel management/ECU tuning/dyno time as well...

hahaha i dont know of anyone with a dyno in my area.... i heard i can make one out of soda cans duct tape and a old computer! is this true? (just kidding)

calmfornow

of course you can haha...but yea i would get the H22 since it is only 150 bucks....you cant beat it....i bought mine for 2350 nd i also have to get the custom wiring from rywire.com.......good luck

93AccordEX

yea im deffinatly going H22 i met a kid the other day with a pretty nice 2 tone red and black cb7 with just a h22 swap and he kicked my white cracker ass

calmfornow

haha, yea them little bastards are fast tho.....i got one waiting for a home in my engine bay.........post pics when ur doin it

93AccordEX

Yea i know im opening MY old topic but.... I hope i get to do it one day!! Just found out second kid is on the way and that is gunna kill the H22 piggy bank

Congratulations!

Hahaha thanks...

Update: IM FUCKED!

I have a 97 accord lx with the f22b2 non vtec and obd, and i got a JDM H22A OBD1 DOHC VTEC ENGINE, 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION FOR 92-95 HONDA PRELUDE. what do i have to do to do this swap, and can i keep my f22 engine mounts, and also is the obd 2 to 1 going to be a problem.

ok dude, same subject convo thread jacking is some what tolerable but thats just fucking lazy bro....

Haha, "....thats just fucking lazy bro"

I hate when people do that.

zone90cb7lx

its like sitting at a bar and you get up to take a piss and some dude is in ur seat... even though he new you were sitting there. thats grounds for getting bitch slapped lol

even better its like someone eating ur burger lol

oh and to 93accordex, check out cb7tuner.com, they are miracle workers overs there, there picture by picture details on what ur doing there...

\haha i didnt even check to see how old this thread was

Have a question.. I have a 92 prelude with the f22. Want to do a h22 swap. How do i modify to run the external coil on the distributor? Also any other tips on issues that i will run into? I know i will need to modify the exhaust down pipe, change over fuel rails, wire for v-tec, i've also heard of modifying the auto tensioner on the timing belt. Any thoughts? Thanks.

scottp11

You don't have to modify your stock distributor, just use the USDM prelude H22 distributor. Everything will be plug and play.

It's not modifying the auto tensioner, it's replacing it with the tensioner from the H23, which is manual, (like the B-series), and is less likely to fail.

hey, remember how I was having problems with getting spark, well turns out that my ecu was USDM so i had to use my external coil and it fired right up. I was like wtf, so its now running and the sad thing is, I can't drive it. EXPIRED TAGS AND BROKE AS A JOKE!!

Why don't we just keep this on topic...

Well , as for boost I would look into the "G swap". I hear that it puts waay more torque than f22 boosted .H22 are better economically and have less issues if done correctly and less to swap because you could use about 80% of accords stock parts.

OH btw- Congrats on becoming a dad. Put that swap on hold and focus....

scottp11

I've done this "G swap" back in 2002 (when it was still called an F series block with an H series head).

Can you please explain to me how an F-series block that has 2.2 or 2.3 liters of displacement would make "waay" more torque (or any more torque) than an H-series block that also has 2.2 or 2.3 liters of displacement?

Having done this swap, the only real advantage I saw by using the F-series block was the iron sleeves instead of the FRM sleeves in the H-series.

CDelgado

Well like I said " I heard" meaning from word of mouth. And I would assume because of compression ratios are lower in F's. F22 8.8:1 SOHC & 9.3:1 DOHC and H22 10.6:1 DOHC

CDelgado

Add-on: And maybe "waay" more torque is a bit much but better would be a correct statement

scottp11

So, according to your theory, lower compression equals more torque?


Motor Torque Compression
F22A1 137@4000 8.8:1
F22A6 142@5400 8.8:1
H22A1 156@5250 10.0:1
H22A 163@6500 11:1


But, for some reason, that doesnt make sense...

Like I said, the only advantage with the F series blocks, would be the iron sleeves if you're going to boost. Of course, if its higher compression you're going for, you can always switch pistons with some aftermarket ones, since you can't use H-series pistons with iron sleeves...

BrutalB83

Actually, if we're talking about an F23 block specifically, then you can actually produce some pretty decent numbers. An F23 block paired with an H22 head will end up having a 97mm stroke and an 86mm bore. 200+ wheel horses are possible, pretty much stock...

scottp11

Agreed, however, we're talking torque numbers...
