F22 to H22

[chaindtoarock]

how many hours? how much? I wont hold u too it. I just have no idea.

 

[AHHVTEC]

well if you take it to the honda delership it will be at least 1200 bucks

 

[chaindtoarock]

Still, thats not as bad as i thought. Im sure thats less than shipping it here. If its under 2k its probably a better choice.

 

[AHHVTEC]

damn lol take the 2k for the motor install and the 2k for the new motor and buy something better

 

[chaindtoarock]

You have a prelude right? you understand.

 

[AHHVTEC]

lol had a prelude i mean you could even get another prelude for that price

 

[chaindtoarock]

yeah but everything else is primo in this car. especially the sound system. lotta memories in the car as well. Everything around here in the 60-80k mile range is 9k+ for 5gen and there arent any 4gen's w/ less than 135k miles.

 

[AHHVTEC]

true, i understand unless the car is knocking a rod or something i think it will make it

 

[chaindtoarock]

yeah i just dont want to risk it, my dad's 68 and I dont want him breaking down somewhere in Texas 50 miles from BFE. I dont think hes comfortable with driving it as is, so Ill just bite the bullet and pay Honda to swap the motor.

If I start w/ an h22 what kind of performance can I expect for reasonably cheap down the road. Maybe AEM intake, exhaust, What else will give good hp gains for less $$$.

 

[AHHVTEC]

well it being a auto its hard to say but it will be a big diffrents i have a h22a in my hatch and it destroys all the gt stangs around my town very very easy,if that helps

 

[chaindtoarock]

what could i reasonably expect to top out at with $5k or so over time? Is 250hp attainable without a turbo or super charger? If so what am I looking at doing?

 

[AHHVTEC]

it will be close without those but it can be done easy with a h series

 

[chaindtoarock]

close to $5k? or close to 250 hp?

 

[AHHVTEC]

lol what i mean is it will be very easy to get that with a turbo, with out that and no nos, your gona have to resleeve it and stuff cams ect ect and that stuff ant cheap

 

[chaindtoarock]

Lets say mugen headers, aem intake, mugen exhaust, and chip. Do u have any idea approx hp? Would a supercharger be better for the engine? less lag?

 

[AHHVTEC]

just me guessing all that would give you between 175-200hp at the wheels depending on if its tuned

 

[chaindtoarock]

would a flywheel noticeabley help my rev? A good idea?

 

[AHHVTEC]

yes light weight fly wheel you will notice, alot

 

[chaindtoarock]

what about the supercharger? better for the engine? how does the performance stack against a turbo?

 

[AHHVTEC]

well a buddy of mine had a prelude with a supercharger on it and he didnt like it so he bought a turbo, i wold go with the turbo its free hp and now days the boost lag isnt that bad
