Get the H22...then you can still boost later if you want

If I had a 92s or si, I would definitely turbo it. It will walk all over h22 stock, and for the price of the swap complete, you could get a nice turbo setup on either f22 or h23. Do some searches on h23 turbos. Definitely worth the time.

im sorry, but it costs a lot to create a good turbo setup. Making it as reliable as NA is also going to be really hard.

agreed, either build the **** out of you motor, make sure its tuned and have an alternate source of transportation if you turbo. It depends on what you want. If you really want speed, go turbo, if you really want durability, go H22.

It really just depends on what you want. The boosted engine would give you more power and a faster car, but it wont be as reliable as just a N/A h22. With turbo you gotta expect problems. Remember Moore's law! I'm thinking about building my own turbo setup for my h22a1 but im having engine problems already and i havent even boosted. I personally would go with boost but its a bigger risk and could end up costing you more in the end.

what is the state of your current engine??? mileage, compression, leakdown???

your motor maybe able to handle some boost....but like mentioned above - the H22 will be more reliable.

Well... are you saying making a 275 hp turbo setup as reliable as a 275 hp n/a H22 setup? I don't think you are right. Let's compare apples to apples. For high power, boost is much more reliable than all motor.

I dont think u understand how much there is to putting H22 head on H23 block (H23VTEC). You dont jsut swap them. There is a lot of other stuff u have to do as well.
