Default turbo charging an h22

i have heard the the engine block of an h22 isn't strong enough to turbo charge but a f22 is. so i was wondering if it is better to just turbo my f22 or swap in an h22 with cams.

its whether you want the pull from the dohc vtec or boost. personally i love boost, just get your f series compression and leak down tested, if its strong, turbo it, if not than swap an h. It also all depends on money, and knowledge with turbos, swaps etc. Turboing a car isn't easy.

Read the Prelude forum FAQs...there's too much to go into.

it's not the block it's the ringlands. any stock honda piston's weak link is the ringlands.
