im looking to push at least 15psi daily driven and 20-25 psi for track use. my question is, what exactly do i need. i know i need sleeves,rods pistons etc, but what brand would u reccomend, what size etc. what comp. pistons? what size sleeves. i need to know whatever there is to know, do i need to do sumthing to my crankshaft or leave it stock? how much did u pay and where? i have a $2000 budget. only thing i would need install on is the sleeves. been researching alot and its very confusing. so a little help would be appreciated. I would prefer people who have built there h22's or have the same setup as i want to reply but all are welcome. thanks in advance. And just to let you know im serious and to give you some incentive to take the time to answer all my questions, there will be a few bucks in it for ya through paypal. thanks again.

ull need more than 2gs thats for sure...

I am in the process of doing my buildup...I used cp pistons, full-race rods, cosmetic head gasket, arp headsutds.mainstuds. new oil pump, water pump, timing belt... I plan to get benson sleeves. U are looking at about 3000-3500 to build a block. I would go with like 9.1 Compression of like 9.5.1 at the highest

@k will buy you the bare minimums. 1g for the sleeves, pistons ar about $500, and eagle rods are $300. with whats left get a set of bearings, a new headhasket, and whatever gasket you cn afford (oil pan, valve cover and cam seal) If you can't afford it, reuse your old ones. Not the best idea and actually pretty half assed but hey it's your car. If the motor has quite a bit of miles on it, try to find a water pump, oil pump, and timing belt. It's not needed really but strongly suggested.
Now what to get.... can't go wrong with GE or beson sleeves, buy the pistons first, send them with the block and they'll have it bored and honed to spec. Pistons are pretty much up to you, I've had good luck with cp and endyn, other's swear by arias, weisco, and the others. All of them will work just fine as long as the tuning is there. I'd go with 9:1 compression since you want so much boost. And since your on a budget, eagle rods are the cheapest set and can handle good amounts of power.

u gonna need a whole lot more the $2000. im in the middle of my h22 build.

i've spent

GE sleeved-$1000 + $400 for this extra block/crank

arias 9:5.1 pistons -$500

eagle rods $300

arp head stud,springs&retainers $450

manifold,RC 550 injectors,turbo,intercooler,pipping,bov,wastegate, oil feed/return $2700

greddy warnin gauges $400


s200 hondata $800

cam gears $250

new clutch $350

and lik $2000-2500 in labor...

jaxx4k

n with RC550 n hodata im only gonna boost 15 psi.

if u wanna boost 20+ u should go with a FULL standalone lik DFI or motec.

don't need any of those in the bottem end. Why wouldn't hondata support +20psi? The injectors probably won't but hondata will be fine.

well oviously im gonna go over my budget, i have cash to work with 2000 was what i wanted to stay at but o well.

also i've heard eagle rods suck. any input on those? and what do u guys think of the darton flange sleeve? i spoke with darton today and they said it could hold 25psi no prob.

SPOON_BeIgHtEeNsEe

just get pistons and rods... spend the rest on a good engine management... stock sleeves should be fine... if ur on a budget....

Wo-Nelly

eh stock sleeves will not do... He's talking about the H22, forged pistons = iron sleeves or busted motor.
How much are the dartons? Does that include the installation, bore and hone, and line bore? It all adds up and if it's close to 1000, I'd go with benson or GE's. GE's are good up to 60psi, now thats just one thing less to worry about

Kp_VtekNiks

darton quoted me 210 for there flanged sleeves. 600 for there mid kit. they said that there flanged sleeves will hold 25psi easily. any truth in this?
