I have a 92 accord lx, I want to do an engine swap but im not sure what to go with, im not that familiar with imports so i need some help. whatever i go with i want to beable to build up without going broke. Thanks for your help.

 

what are you looking for? If you really don't want the engine in your car, I think you could put a H22 in there, but the engine can be as expensive as having a turbo in your car!
If the idea sounds expensive, maybe you should install intake, header, full exhaust, light weight pulleys, stage 2 or 3 clutch, short shift, full suspension upgrade and brake upgrade, cam gear, cam shaft... and then.... ..."should I get a engine swap??"...

 

most of the cars around here are going with the b18 swap, id like to go alittle above this, weather it means building my f22 or doing a swap.

 

If I were you... I would "work" withe the F22!
My next step will be light weight pulleys, including the crank (..no underdrive..), and then... a stage 2 or 3 clutch, with a aluminum flywheel....
Sure I can't compare an accord with a bmw... but.... ...it is faster than a stock accord, and I'm able to keep up with mustangs and trans ams.... (...maybe V6's..)

 

what do you think of throwing on nos, porting and polishing the head, full exhauste, along with what you said to do to the f22?

 

ive also had some people tell me to go with the head from a f22a6. any thoughts on this? thanks

 

Nitrous... ...well... I wouldn't do it.... ..I could not trust such thing in my car....
Do a full exhaust, maybe 2.25 pipe or 2.5 pipe.
Have you got an Intake, headers yet?!
Don't forget, if you are hooking up your engine... consider a full suspension upgrade.... like coilovers or springs... and throw some KYB agx in it!!!

 

right now its a rust bucket with some cheap coilovers and a cracked tranny. It does have a cold air intake though. I have 2 extra trannys and 2 extra motors. ill have the body done in no time but i wanna build the motor this winter

Nobody puts a b18 in their accord. Not enough torque. If you are on a budget, turbocharging your F is the way to go.

 

I agree with that.... I haven't actually seem any B18 in accords... but H22....

 

like i said before, i dont know much about imports, why isnt there enough torque for a b18 in an accord but its ok in a civic? thanks

 

civics are MUCH lighter than accords.

also, civics have more hp than tq, so thats why they dont need the torque, and accords have about the same hp as they do tq.

 

ok, thanks

 

Anyone have any exp. turbocharging an auto f22?

 

you should go with a H22 but without da money den u should start Moding your engine now den when you have den money either Option 1.do a engine Swap with the H22 or Option 2.Put on a turbo with stage 2 clutch but in this case i would Mod my engine then turbo it unless you have the money then get the H22 but if not go with option 2 What do you Think? or cause im just helping you not chosing for you

 

let me know if it can be done
