Ok guys, my parents are giving me a limit of 10k for my car.

We were thinking about a 94-97 accord. Then adding an h22, couple of other things, susp., and different stuff like that. After reading all these threads about how not to get an h22, just go boost, I started thinking.

Not sure if i wanna get an h22 or go boost. I dunno whats cheaper or anything so..What do you guys think? Boost or h22?

Also, about a turbo, I dont think its gonna be DIY, so should i buy a kit? Or should I buy seperate parts, and have a shop install everything? Will they even do that?

Another thing about a turbo, I guess ill probably have to upgrade some other parts of the accord to handle it, right?

Thanks, hope you guys can help.

 

yay... another one of these...

personally, i'd buy a D16Z6 cos it has Vt4k. i'd put that in the accord and boost it...

but really, get an H22, then boost that. it really all depends on your personal preference. do what you want.

 

I want something that i can do and be done with it. I guess and h22 would work, but all veryone lately is saying just go boost. Now that i think of it, i would i have to get a lot more things if i went boost. I dunno, still have a little time to decide. I just need some help...

OMG!! Your right!! Holy SH*T...thanks for telling me man. Thanks for all your help.

Ill probably have to go with corn flakes, just have to add a little sugar.

 

i personally own an h22, and it's all good and fun for a while, but after so long, it really doesn't feel all that fast...sure it has great top end power, but it definitely takes revs to get it up into vtec where all t he power is at...the tourque that a turbo setup makes is probably the best part about it...prices are very similar for both, as long as you piece it together yourself...you'll end up saving money in the long run, and not have to replace parts like the fmu that comes with the kits...anyways, it looks like you need to do more research into both projects before undertaking either one...good luck...

This thread lost all legitimacy right there. I didn't even bother reading the rest of the post

i agree partially; that is cool that they are at least paying for some of it. what does it matter who pays for it? if he wants to educate himself and do it the right way, many props to him. but i do agree totally with you that if this gets done, he should fully appreciate exactly what it is that was handed to him and make it a learning experience to build on and have a platform that he can enjoy.

so bro (FutureAcc0rd) read up, ask a ton of questions, pick the right parts, and do it right the first time.
H22 = all motor pride and fun
turbo F22 = torque and no swap headaches
turbo H22 = more than you may be willing to jump right into (if you're starting with a basic car)

 

I think you should go h22. My brother has an h22 in his 97 Accord and it make a huge difference; I have a 96 Accord so I know. Well I had one; the motor is gone. So If you go h22 you can sell me your motor. Get back at me and tell me what you think.

 

hey bro i was alwasy thinknig about a h22 swap but went turbo, i jsut got my set-up done yesturdya and i love it and it pulls really nice. i peiced it myself and i ahve no regrets. plus you get the BOV sound people like. haha i hope to be making around 210-230 whp sc34 powered 10psi stock internals. but boost isnt for everyone. research around these forums and youll learn a whole lot.good luck.


hey with 10k, why would you pick an accord??? just go buy a gsr and boost it.

 

Thanks guys. Btw, im still in HS so I cant exaclty pay for eveything myself. My parents think i should get a safer, more expensive car, but i really just want something like an accord. The reason i would choose and accord is because my cousin has one, and knows people, and can help me along the way. Never really looking into different cars, i dunno.

So back to the original question. Damn, I still dunno what to do. H22 is nice and everything, but a turbo sounds like a lot of fun. The only thing about the turbo is that i need to learn about em more. Also, like i said, earlier i still dont know what other parts i would need to buy in order to help the car handle the turbo. Still deciding, but thanks guys.

 

10.6:1 compression wouldnt be the best for a boost application.

but a 10.6:1 isnt that bad for 5-7psi. then again, 5-7 is weksauce

It is a shame when people let jealousy cloud their wits. What is legitimate? The fact that your folks don't help you out, or the fact that you don't accept help? Either way, it sucks 2 B U.


Anyway, the point of which setup is better depends on what you are looking for. If you want to have it done and not worry about it ever again, stick with H22 for OEM reliability and easy maintenance.

SEARCH. This will save you lots of time on this site.

 

Yea, im probably gonna be going with the h22, maybe boost later. Thanks for all the help guys.

I'm not jealous, maybe generalizing a little but not jealous. I prolly shouldn't have rushed to judgement but 9 times out of 10 the stupid HS kid gets a bunch of money from their parents and goes and ***** **** up cuz they don't know **** about what they are doing. You appreciate what you've got when you worked hard to get it

Uh, maybe because 1847385475849383 other people at his high school have done that?

 

Yea a good tuning and osme bolt ons with an H22 is a great start, then you can start building up internals because there is a MUCh better market for the H...with an F boost is good, but tuning and upgrading is limited...

Insurance rates.

 

you dont know anything about this kid. you cant really say stuff like that, what if his parents are rewarding him for something you dont know about, my parents bought me my swap and i am very appreciative, also to the guy with the question 1 i love the idea of an h22 turbo, cuz i want to do that with an accord and 2 doesnt it suck playing the philadelphia eagles in the playoffs?? just ask atlanta , hahahahaha GO EAGLES!!!!! the patriots are the best team in the league but the eagles have heart!!!!!!!

 

im in HS and i have a accord and damn greatful that i have it! I would suggest a H22 swap rather then turbo because getting attention from the cops is damn bad plus they dont show respect for kids. H22 will last longer then a trubo F22, only problem you are going to have is trying not to speed to often. Play it safe. my two cents

 

With that amount of cash, I say go H22, that way you can keep the car as on ongoing project...with a boosted F22, your different options are quite limited. With the H22, you can start collecting and adding parts to make yourself an all-motor monster, or you can collect parts to build your bottom end and work towards boost on your H. Have your parents pay for the car and swap then work your *** off to upgrade that...you'll have a car that will be a lot of fun, and you'll have pride in the fact that you worked your *** off for it.

 

Yep, thats exactly what im gonna do. Im gonna go with the H22, and yea i could keep upgrading it, and it would be more reliable.

Thanks for the help guys.

Also, yea, im not gonna go street racing or do any other stupid **** like that.

 

better street race.

 

93-96 H22A, I prefer the closed deck rather than open deck.
