Re: F22A4 Turbo Build (for anyone who cares lol)
lol what do you mean about the H22? i love that motor i just wanted to be different.
4G Prelude is definitely one my favorite cars Honda ever made....when i made this one track only i went and bought another one.
and yeah now with all the stuff i've been doing lately i'm sure i'm going to crush my goal of 12 seconds....I'm hoping for 11.50's I've gotten the car down to 2650 with me in it...so it's not like shes a pig anymore

Re: F22A4 Turbo Build (for anyone who cares lol)
Motor is now done, minus the timing covers and throwing the clutch/flywheel/trans on. We installed the cam and degree'd it. No issues with P2V. So i'm only waiting on a handful of things that should come in within the next week or so and I'll be ripping my old puppy out and dropping this in. and praying she fires up if all that is a go....it will be on to ordering everything else i need as far as turbo kit which includes
-GTX3071R Garrett
-Tial BOV
-IC Piping Mishimoto Intercooler (gonna test fit some sizes)
-DSS Axles
-Hondata S300
-Drag Rims with MH slicks
and hopefully picking up a sunroof plug off of Roger to drop a few more lbs. I'm really hoping i can get this all done before the first IREV at MIR which is June 9th but my ulitmate goal is to have it done sometime around March bar no issues...so i can get a handful of seat time before that event. But that's what's going on so far guys for the ones following this...Hope you enjoy

Re: F22A4 Turbo Build (for anyone who cares lol)
Then i started doing research so i sat in the accord forums for days on end, and seeing all these guys with there grocery getting accords (honestly i mean no offense) but the weights being a tad bit more than preludes. And boosting over 500+ hp on the same motor and running 12's and lower i got curious.
I figured why couldn't i make the prelude do the same thing? so that was my whole thing. Plus growing up seeing Bisi hit a 9 all motor using a F-series kinda helped lol. I may not be the fastest prelude out but i feel at the end of the day if i can hit in the 10's i'll be the first guy to say i got there with a SOHC in a prelude (as far as i know). Then maybe i'll switch to my beloved H22A. I'm an H/F series guy for life

Re: F22A4 Turbo Build (for anyone who cares lol)
talked to the guys at CCC Racing about a prelude wing. They told me that had something that might worked....knocked some money off the price...i installed it last night it's still gonna need a little molding...but i reallyyy like it!
you can see in both photos im gonna have to heat the curves up a little and get it to follow the prelude's body line but it shouldn't be to bad. Like i said i really like how it turned out.
i guess i might as well give another update....it's taken me sometime to figure out how to make a mount for my degree wheel to clear the balance shaft tensioner. But i finally have made something that will work should be degreeing the cam tonight and putting the covers back on. Also going to tap my oil pan for the oil drain. So i should have a few more pics in the next few days. But with tax season and work picking back up, I'm looking really good on get this car on the track this year!

Re: F22A4 Turbo Build (for anyone who cares lol)
sorry not much going on right now...motor is complete. My innovative mounts JUST came in this week. So looking to swap motors in like 2 weeks or so. it's hard finding time with how busy my daily grind has been.
and 98vtec it seems like it's really hard to tell in that pic but there was cross-hatching in the cylinder walls.

Re: F22A4 Turbo Build (for anyone who cares lol)
Timing Covers put on AEM cam gear
Golden Eagle sandwhich plate for turbo feed
stock motor coming out
it's out, i gotta alotta work to do in the bay
As she sits right now bumper less
put the decals on my bumper!
Everything has been slow lately. Have been doing alot of work lately and not enough time to work on my baby. I still feel really good about making it out this year but just probably not as soon as i hoped. But as long as work stays busy it's what's funding this project so it will get on the track soon! Just working on swapping things from the stock motor to the new one and putting it together to get ready to drop in for break in. Then next coming weeks i should be putting it back in running it for a few weeks. Then it will be a full on push getting the rest of stuff i need for my turbo. Sorry i don't update this much i need to quit being lazy! most the time i post all this stuff to instagram and forget
**i've also changed my original goal and updated that on the first page

You could just fill it with some aluminum weld and grind it back down again.

Re: F22A4 Turbo Build (for anyone who cares lol)
quick update....i've ordered just about everything and anything you could think of for the motor (sensors, clutch slave clyinder, thermo, plugs...etc.) so that everything is brand stinking new. I've got all that put on the motor right now....only thing i'm waiting for right now is just my buddy to finish porting my manifold (was able to find a new top half of the IM) so he's working on that now for my throttlebody...other than that the motor is ready to go and be dropped in. My mishimoto triple core civic radiator came in and samco hoses.(yeah i'm going half size, it is a drag car lol) so literally it's just waiting on my buddy to finish that and the motor will be ready to be dropped in....fired up, do a little break in. And it will be a full on sprint on ordering everything i need for the turbo kit and everything. I've also scrapped running water/meth and decided to go race gas...which i will be using FTW fuels. So sorry no pics or anything...actually i might post some a little later but just wanted to update everyone!

Re: F22A4 Turbo Build (for anyone who cares lol)
little update...motor is about to drop in like next week! also learned from my tuner a little more about FTW, and found out class rules allow fuel cells. So i'll be buying a 3-5 gal fuel cell now and running a inline pump (bosch 044) instead of the walbro 255 (which im currently selling for 80 bucks + shipping if anyone is interested). So that i can run the race gas. Pretty excited! i just want this thing done...but she's getting there and i haven't put myself in a dime worth of debt because of it. So slowly BUT surely she's getting there!

Re: F22A4 Turbo Build (for anyone who cares lol)
Well guys over the past week i was able to finally get the motor in and she's ALIVE! time to start breaking it in....i ran into a few issues worked them all out and she fired right up! Biggest issue was my main relay got cooked from sitting but once we got that figured out...it was smooth sailing.
the reason it dies in the start up video we forgot to adjust the throttle stop for idle so when we closed the throttle it immediately died as my bro Wolfe explains.
well time to break her in....and then slap the turbo on! WCF here we come!
