Hey guys,
Originally, I was looking at doing an h22a engine swap into my car (Including an aftermarket ECU, auto to manual conversion, hi-flo cat, headers and brand new h & r suspension).
However, today I was enlightened as to another avenue I can pursue in terms of performance with my car.
Basically, what I'm thinking of doing now is gettin my f22a6 engine strengthened (forged pistons, everything and the works). Then I'm gonna turbo it that way, including a front mount and a bov. Do you reckon this is a better way to go?
I figured that instead of going nowhere performance wise (basically swapping in an h22a) and then turbo'ing the h22a down the line, I would, instead, just work and turbo the engine that I currently have. I intend to be running bout 12 or 13 psi off my current engine and will still do the auto to manual conversion as well.
In addition, it'll also end up being cheaper in the long run (Ill be looking at about 12 grand for the h22a conversion and then another 12 grand for a big turbo job on the h22a). If I turbo the f22a engine, it will just be a one-off 12 grand for basically everything and then I can build on that sometime in the future (Wind up the boost, bigger front-mount, etc.).
Do you know of anyone thats gone this route before?
Any help or your opinion on this matter would be appreciated.
Cheers,
