I am planning to turbo my car in the near future and was looking for a bit of advice as well as some opinions. I have a 93 Accord LX (sleeper!) with an F22A1 in it. This motor has 235,000 miles.
My power goal is around 200-250whp. What turbo would you recommend for both of these setups? I was thinking a GT2854R, but that may be a bit small?
I am planning to rebuild the F22A1. Can stock internals handle that much power RELIABLY? If not, when I rebuild, should I go for shot peened stock rods, or H-beams? What else would I need for the motor to handle it?
Or should I swap in a DOHC F22B? I can get an F22B longblock for $300. I've heard the F22B is really good for boost. Would it be more worth while to get the F22B and boost on stock internals?
