dude check ebay for hatchbacks theres some nice ones on there that ppl just wanna sell for money issues. Nice cars that fortunately for us are price chopped. only look at ones with no reserve. make sure to email and ask questions first. some on there are actually the same thing as ppl on here that have spent thousands on there honda and now have to sell it.

well see how much cash this pos brings me in the future, ill let you know how much i got, then i know how much i got to work with. even then after buying stock car, it will need suspension and other mods to complete the car for track. Motor is not an issue

dude, first off, you own an accord, its a family sedan, second off, what do you think your gunna do with 450 to 500 hp???? ITS FWD!!!! do you understand that, NO TRACTION!!!! yeh the power to weight ratio is rediculous, i know about that, i have an 86 CRX Si that im putting a b20/VTEC in right now, thats about 210 hp maybe a little more, that car weighs 1800 lbs, guess whos probably gunna win that race??? dud, your wasting your money and time, why do you buy a nice hatchy and stick that h22 with 20 lbs of boost, and blow it up in the hatch... cause thats whats gunna happen if you dont sleeve it, get the crank balanced, precise tuning, a chipped ecu isnt gunna get you anywhere, youll need a standalone or s300... if your gunna spend money like that PLEASE make sure its WORTH it and you do it right the FIRST time

dont get a prelude, too much work with those, get a 92-95 hatch, 2 dr coupe, but im warning you RIGHT now, wiring will be a bitch, that h22 was not meant to go in anything BUT the lude, i suggest buying the harness conversion from HASport... but the end result... trust me you will like. a buddy of mine has a 92 hatchy with a turbo H22 @ 10psi with a 75 shot to the FMIC. its nasty but again NO TRACTION.

if you look around, you could find a coupe for 2-3k. craigslist is showin some integras and civics in your area, about 3-4k average.

Theres really no point in looking now. Cant get another car before this one is sold. i have been working my ass of on finishing the body. Paint should be coming up in the nextweek or two.
As far as the h22 goes, it has been sleeved, pistons and rods, and bearings, but came with no heads, still need a set of heads , got any heads up before i purchase a set of stock dohc h22 heads.
Iwant to think you all for the feeback , even though most was kinda shitty, but i guess i should have learned now than later on after another round of disapointment.

what exactly do you mean by heads??? is that A HEAD??? like with cams valves, springs retainers etc.... or headers??? cause you did say set, in which both cases it would not be a set... anyways if its the HEAD your talking about go with the factory h22 head... if your gunna boost it though, rebuild it...

yes i am talking about the heads with valve train, i didnt mean to say a set, my mistake, i have been looking around for a HEAD that has been built already to bolt on. No luck so far . To boost on a stock head isnt good huh, i thought that you would have to get the cams to even run turbo, something about the timing???

So let me get this straght, one tells me i need to upgrade valve train and another tell me is not necessary, well , working this motor at the hardest you can push it for about 2 - 3 hous, would the stock head hold the abuse , w/turbo. i was also informed that my h22 block, the crank shaft has been knifed and poilished.??? i was told , too put the heads , flywheel and clutch on the block and get it blanced? is that necessary?

alright he is correct, you dont technically NEED to get new valve train or ANYTHING done for that matter to boost a car.. but if you want a good reliable turbo setup, i would AT LEAST reccommend new rods pistons, rings, etc... if your putting more than 8-10 psi in the block... its not necessary to get the crank balanced unless your planning on spinning the motor WAY above what the original redline what meant to... just keep this in mind dude, we are not hassleing you, we ALL just wanna see a good reliable motor built, if your gunna spend the money, make sure you do it right the first time... for example on the b20/vtec im building, there were many things i wasnt gunna replace, the bearings for instance, the block only has 30K on it, but im getting all new hardware, bearings, etc... JUST so i dont have to tear it apart and possibly spend more money then i would have in the beginning, kind of confusing but i think you should get the point, BE SMART, DO YOUR RESEARCH, and get her DONE!!!

you dont need pistons and rods for 8 psi.....unless you are running an ungodly large turbo

All of my intensions have been for a good reliable bad ass motor. Just been kicked in the nuts to many times. Ill spend the extra dough to make sure that everything is going to hold up. well as long as it can handle the abuse. As far as a next vehicle goes, can you put a h22 in a 94gsr . and can i keep the transmission, without to many mods.

lol reliable bad ass motor. In that case, get a eg hatch and swap in a k20-r. h22 turbo just doesnt scream reliability.
another thing that doesnt scream reliability.... race car.. you cant beat the piss out of a motor and expect it to last long.. something is bound to break..
CRXSi86
Fatty
true true, but doing the right things to it, will make it last somewhat longer then normal... im not too sure if you can swap the h22 into a teggy... im sure you can, i havent ever seen one done personally, but again, wiring a h22 in any car other than a lude will kick your ass... maybe yuou should sell it, and spend the money on a k20 and an eg or even an ek
