i got a jdm h22a (220hp) and i was thinking about going boost. my goals are to run low 12s or high 11s. i am using a del sol shell. how much power do i need to make in order to run those 1/4 mile time? is it going to be reliable. i have everything for boost except the kit. is it worth boosting a h because i heard the rings go bad on them.

i have gator axles, act clutch and flywheel, 2.5 inch exhaust ec tune, fuel pump and injectors.

 

hell to the nananananananananaanan. H22 is a motor you leave N/A trust me i gone threw a turbo h22 in a EG wasn't good.

 

l o l...its worth it

dont go cheap and get a good tune

 

My recommendation is to have it sleeved and built with a tubular mani and a good sized turbo. I've tuned a built h22 in a hatch to around 430ish whp and that thing is a f'ing beast

 

i dont really want to build my motor right now. i know i can hit 12s with 250-260 WHP.

 

in a del sol absolutely you can hit those times with the h22. just make sure you get a good tune because the pistons are weak when you get towards the 300 hp mark.

 

how bad are my traction issues going to be? will i be able to hook in 3rd.

 

Boost it!!! Boosted my stock H22 to 10psi daily driven. A good tune is what prevents engine failure.

 

hell yeaah just as long as you have a good tuner!

 

i have run 12.9 in the 1/4 mile in my jdm h22a swapped sol it was a stock motor

 

that doesn't really have anything to do with putting in the h22, it really depends on what tires you will be using, traction bar, lsd, ect....

 

id love to see it
if done right i would imagine that suckah to rip
but it would be better to go n/a

 

sounds like it would rip id use it for track purposes only i think you would understeer like a bastard in corners with a del sold h

 

I would say yes, boost it

Mine made 380whp & 270wtq @ 10 lbs of boost and held up just fine, gunna push it a bit harder when motor is back in and car is back together!

 

NA is GAY


Have had multiple 400WHP STOCK H22As here... That lasted.

The ringlands on ANY stock Honda motor are suspect, The Hs FRM sleeves while they dont play well with fogeed slugs, are SUPER STRONG (contrary to poular misinformation). The most accurate remark in this thread thus far is that it is really all in the trune... The Hs big bore is friendly with timing.


My H is nbot stock... anymore.

Built now, but that was ALL BONE STOCK....

Made 630 first time around built, now with 10K miles on the built motor going for over 700.





LMK if I can help you out.

 

How much boost are running to make that power. I just started up my built H22 this past weekend so Im just want to know what Im in for.

 

friend made the times your looking for in a boosted h2b eg hatch.
beat the car to hell and back for about a year

then one night he got greedy and well maybe he shouldnt have put the boost controler in his car and turned it up 5lbs and bye bye compression

 

PM me, we can chat.

 

Read prelude2perfect's reply to this question about three times, meditate on it in the lotus position for seven days, and then understand it's only about half of what you need to know. But it's all the gear that gets you going in the right direction!

Alignment, alignment, alignment. And your alignment is only as good as your suspension and chassis ability to keep from deflecting under power. Del Sol is a heavy, flexible chassis - park on top of a hill where the ground isn't flat and try to put your targa top back on, it won't fit. You can still get good traction out of them and it will be EASY to hit your modest power and track ET goals, but you need to understand they aren't the ideal drag chassis.
