hey guys ... since my EG is becoming more and more of a hybrid i'll start posting some questions here .
I have a problem with my setup , I basically get no power from my H22A engine , and curently I'm working my way backwards to see what was done wrong in the setup or what else needs to be added .
Should anyone have anymore info on this setup and want to look at more details about my problems go here and send me a line too :

... basically problem right now is that I ran 15.5 with the setup which is just sad because when i race i get the jump all the time and then i just loose midend and high end .

Anywais the main question here was :
since i am now on STOCK civic exhaust , I am planing on an upgrade ASAP . Can anybody tell me what pipe diameter i should go with ?
2.25 ? 2.5 ? 2.75 ?
eventually when i get this setup up and running it will get sprayed and then a turbo should be going in by next summer .
Any sugestions ?

If you're going to squeeze, or boost in the future, go with at least a 2.5" piping. I run 2.5" on my N/A Lude and it's fine...I have plenty of torque down low.

As for your time, I would expect it to be a little more quicker. Stock Lude's can run low 15's, mid 14's with bolt ons. You should be well into the 14's. Definitely get the swap checked over once again.

so should I stick with a 2.5" or a 2.75" ?
I am planing on spraying at least a 75 shot on the engine once it's running well

up to 170whp, 2 1/4-2 3/8" (55-60MM) is usually more then fine, from a well built system (mandrel bent no bottle necks)
2 1/2 (65-70MM) is good for 10-250whp on N/A motors, from a well built system
and this is where you will roughly fit.
