ok i have finally made up my mind, and i am going to drop a H22A (92-96) into my 92 4 dr civic, but i cant figure out which will be better NA or Turbo? I'm trying for about 250-300 hp, and possibly 14-15's in the 1/4.I have a couple of friends telling me to go all motor & some telling me the complete opposite, so i am turning to you guys. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

 

Good luck making 300 whp without some sort of forced induction. 150 hp/liter is still a bit out of the realm of gasoline N/A motors.

Even pro race cars like the L'Natural CRX w/ a professional built H22 had a hard time producing horsepowers above 225hp. All motor is fine...but in the long wrong to make an "all motor" as fast a "turbocharged" car..it will take a LOT MORE money and time.

 

turbo is the best bang for your buck. For the same amount of money you put in an all motor, you could be a lot faster in a turbo motor, but that's a given.

 

your civic with an h22a would run in the 15s stock easily... if thats ur goal go with ur basic bolt ons, nice headers, an intake, and an exhaust..

 

a turbo setup in an h22 is a bad investment without building the block imo... it WILL blow eventually... once built h22s are great for turbo though, and make nice tq #s

My GSXR 600 makes way more than 90 HP/litre

You are not allowed to speak unless you raise your hand and are called upon

 

uh huh

 

some honda engines are better to boost stock than others...
for example an ls w/the same engine management at 300whp could run reliably a lot longer than a h22
