ok heres the deal , i know you guys would prefur me search for my answer rather than waste your time by starting a new thread but ive been searching for days now and i havent found the specific answers ive been looking for , heres all the info i have,
ive got a 95 prelude S with the F22a sohc non vtec motor with an auto tranny that only puts out 130 hp ,ive read and been told a lot of stuff . im on a tight budget and i dont know what to do ,all i can put in is about 1700 here are my options
a) i could get a jdm h22a motor use my tranny and get a new ecu, now im not sure if i can use my wireing harness or not , ive read that ill need to get a bigger radiator , i dont know if this is true . Ill have to rig the fuel line to work with the new engine or get a new fuel rail and and id like to get a manual tensioner for the timeing belt but i dont know where to get one. this will bring me up to 200 hp, this is what i think im going to end up doing but i dont know how much this is going to cost
b)ive heard that you can put a h23a or h22a head on my f22a sohc non vtec block,and make it into a "frankenstine" ive heard that i would end up with more than 230 hp with this setup, ive tried to research this and everyone thats asked seems to hit a wall , nobody seems to know if this can be done or give any details on what all need to be done to make this work, like would i use my ecu or need to get a h22 or h23 ecu for it and what all would i be able to use from my f22a ?
c) i could save a lot of headaches and save some money and just have my head rebuilt and put new valves in i would prefer not doing this for obvious reasons , my timeing belt fell off when i was going 90 fyi,
