i got a 1992 accord with h22 swapped and i wanna turbo kit, what do i need to look for, does the kit for the prelude fit the accord? anything will help, thanks

 

no it wont fit....the intercooler wont fit at all..unless yoiu do some crazy bodywork or w/e...just piece your own kit together..most likely will be cheaper..and more useful...keep searcing..with a question like that..i dont think your ready to turbo..no offense..but search around look at other opeoples setups and decide what is best for you

 

how would i go about pieceing a kit together like that?

actually, it will fit...you may need to do a little bit of modification to the intercooler piping (can be done at any exhaust shop), but you can always tell the person/company you are buying the kit from to send intercooler piping for a 92 accord and the rest for the h22...most of the kits you see advertised use the exact same parts for almost all applications except for the intercooler piping...

 

I heard that the h22, sleaves (sleeve?) cant hold turbo very well.. and that u shoudl resleave (resleeve?) the h22.. just a suggestion good luck, hope to see some times in the future if u do turbo a h22

 

resleeving an h22 is not a suggestion, its a must with turbo on the h22. i know there are a few that test the waters and go stock intervals with the h22 but it should be beefed up properly when going turbo. sleeves, complete valvetrain, rods, and pistons. when i do start my turbo project, i will peice mine together. to piece together just look at any turbo kit, see what it comes with and buy individual components. most of the time you get a better setup going this route anyways. you get what you pay for so don't necessarily go for cheap parts. go with something that is trusted. i know i am sticking with precision turbo and intercooler, tial or delgate wastegate and blowoff valve. the manifold is where you really have to do research. i like the lovefab design and reputation. these are the main components of a turbo. Clamps, hoses, lines and piping are among the others.

how do i go about doing this resleeving, or can i have someone else do it for me?

well this is good to know also, and i like this, i think i would buy a kit just cuz im not totlaly positive on how to piece one together, if someone could help me with that itd be cool though

 

yea definatly dont buy a "kit" if you're planning on running a mid-range boost level.

supposedly those turbos are really only good for about 6-8 psi.

 

how much boost do i want?

 

depends on how much money you put into your internals. and what the purpose of the car is (daily driving, bullshittin around, or racing). i'd say shoot for about 12-15 psi if you got the money to keep it streetable.

 

Everyone loves boost. As mentioned above 6-8 PSI is decently reliable on the motor. But to be on the safe side if it was my car and i was running higher boost, i would resleeve the block regardless for insurance reasons.

 

what if the h22 only has 16000 miles on it?

you're thinking of the greddy kit with the tiny 16g turbo.

a drag or fmax kit comes with a much more capable turbocharger.

to the thread starter, milage doesn't matter. the stock pistons are cast, and will break under too much power and/or bad tuning.

from the questions you're asking it sounds like you really should do a lot more research about this subject before starting any turbo project.
