you might want to go back to the drawing board and do more research on what you are getting into...

If you arent looking to make more than 250whp stock internals should be fine, so long as you get a good tune

OBX is low quality garbage...for that price you can do much better

You are most likely going to need a custom fabbed dp

For tuning VAFC is a hack and a horrible way to "tune"...with free engine management software, you could run crome or uberdata on a chipped p06 ecu. This is the most important part of having you car run reliably, so make sure you have it tuned by a professional.

You'll still need a BOV, injectors, a fuel pump, adjustable fpr, oil lines, vacuum lines, gauges, a new clutch that can handle your new torque level...in addition you will have to tap the oil feed, and tap the oil pan for the return line...in short, more research will be very beneficial in the long run.

Look for a complete kit T4 for your accord and you should spend 2/3 of that price you estimated or less.
You should know that internals in the F22B motor is very strong and yet, reliable with a turbo, even running high boost.
I liked how you mentioned BP your throtle and intake manifold, that should help and add a few ponnies.
I am thinking about adding a turbo, but will wait to see the result of a customized camshaft first.
But as the guy said, be sure to do more and more research, and be sure to do a big shopping before you actually purchase the kit or parts you want!!! Good luck!

look more into OBX, majority of its customers have had bad experience with them.

the design is nice tho, but how the heck are you suppose to fit that manifold and the turbo in? that puts the turbo way to low in our engine bay.....go take a look.

Yeah, the only reason I thought of the OBX manifold is because of the design but since the quality is horrible I think it is not worth it.
I do plan running over 300whp and over 10psi so i think i will need pistons and rods. Anyone know where they sell rods at a decent price?
Can you guys give me an estimate of how much psi I can run with new pistons and how much psi I can run with pistons and rods? Thanks a lot!

And gianinline, What do you mean by a complete kit - like turbonetics or drag kit? They are about the same price that I estimated except I think the parts I'm putting in are better. If it is 2/3 of the price can you give me a link? that would be really appreciated.

One of my problems right now is I have 100,000 miles on the car. Is the engine still good for boost? If I get pistons and rods do I still need the compression test?

Thanks for all the help.

crower makes rods for the f22/h23 but they are about 600-700 bucks.

probe and import builders also make a rods for the f22/h23 but they only go for about 300-400 bucks. dlb1994 is making something like 460whp on probe rods in his h23 for a very long time now... and i heard that import builder rods are just probe rods with bigger bolts.

scrap the obx manifold idea, id rather go with a log mani than an equal length top mount obx mani. but does obx even offer anything for the f22bx?

scrap the afc hack idea too. look into uberdata, crome, hondata, neptune, ect...

look in the honda marketplace classified section you can find way better deals then prices you list. you can buy 2.5" mandrel bends from summitracing.com or jcwhitney.com for like a $100 for IC piping, a JRC or CCA FMIC for about $200 or less, a tial wg for about $175, ect...

it took me a long *** time to piece my kit but i waited for deals to come up.

Soo.. guys, you think all this should get me over 300whp?

Turbo – T3/T4 60 trim (Garret or Turbonetics) - $500-$600
Intercooler and piping – $300
Wastegate – Tial 38mm. - $180
Log turbo manifold - 300
Forged Pistons w/rings - http://www.dh-racing.com/pistons.html#forged - $395
Rods – Probe rods - 320
Exhaust piping – 3” piping - $250 from http://www.kteller.com
Turbo exhaust tip – Skunk2 - $200
3” High flow cat – Magnaflow - $70
BOV - HKS universal SSQV - $200
Bored 64mm. throttle body and intake port matching - $170 -http://www.maxbore.com
Down pipe – Custom
Tuning – Crome, uberdata - don't really know where to get these yet, or the ecu chipped.
Clutch and Fidanza flywheel - 500

Few last questions:
Will there be a problem turboing a 100,000 mile car considering I'm going to get new pistons and rods?
Is it possible to install pistons and rods yourself? and Where can i get my ecu chipped? Ive tried looking and many dont offer for f22b2.

I would like to thank all the people who helped me out. I really appreciate it!
