i have a 1992 prelude f22a1 i was thinking of just nosing it.cuz itd be cheaper.
but a h22 would be cool
its my daily drive and i just wanna be able to beat some of the ******** in town im stuck wether i should get a h22 or nos

 

NOS yo! that would b straight tight yo! or u could jump on the jdm tight h22 bandwagon...lol

 

Nos Bro! nos be da best! dO like a 150 dry shot on a stock motor! it be feelin like a v8 or some ****!

 

why would it be "or"? both would make more sense because nos on a stock F22a1 still isn't going anywhere fast.. lol

 

money is tight and want some more hp i thought wet shot was better>?

 

u can always boost it...the f22a1 has uber low compression and it has the super awesome iron sleeves so you can run 4500 psi...being sarcastic, but seriously u can always boost it.

 

Save some money for a turbo.

 

nos or H22?..... BOTH

 

wheres a good place to get a turbo kit everything i need to install it?
do i need anything else or can i just put the turbo kit in and then be good

 

no, you cant "just put it in and be good" . if i was you, i'd do alot more research before making any final decision on the route to take.

 

hmm ok nos just seems alot simpiler

 

YEA NOSSSSSS Y0!!!!!!!

 

Its called Nitrous Oxide(or just nitrous) moron

NOS is a brand.....

 

maybe he meant "NOS" (the brand) is alot easier to use compared to the other nitrous systems..... but then again, maybe not.

also---> kornkid, nitrous is not easier. if you dont know how to install it properly, you will ****up your motor.

 

I'd start with an H22A........
Cheap, reliable, and you can always add on in the future.....
As you search, don't get caught up in the hype Surrounding the "G" series H/F hybrid motors, and don't let anyone tell you its easy and simple. Many have tried, almost as many have failed, and few have succeeded......
going from an F22 to an H22 will be like a whole new car....

 

AHEM

 

NAWZ Y0
youll be like ZOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM (Pop!)

 

did you mis-spell that?
AMEN???

whats the story with yours? Free/cheap? Making poopoo power w/o Nitrous? And no aftermarket support.......
Didn't you just use a stock F22?

As I pull 10 car lengths by the 330' mark on you........LOL!

 

If you like your car as your DD i wouldnt "nos" it or run nitrous because your motor will be ****ed. I agree with NirVTEC, go with the H22 and you'll notice a HUGE difference and go through your average bolt ons and you'll be just as satisfied. Bottles are for babies.

 

Cheap! Stock F23 block/H23 head....actually makes pretty good torque

 

I personally would recommend you going with the motor swap. Using NO2 (nitrous oxide... NOS... whatever you wanna call it) can be fun, but with a stock motor, you probably shouldn't run more than a 50 shot. A 50 shot is worth about 50 hp generally speaking, but in my opinion its better to build your motor or swap motors and have that 50 hp gain all the time, rather than spend the money on a nitrous kit and only have it available until the bottle runs out.

Wet/dry shot doesn't make a difference really in terms of how much you'll get outta a bottle. It goes fast. And don't get suckered into buying those nitrous kits. They just come with the basics, but nothing you need to keep your car safe. By the time you do all the research, buy all the parts, and get them installed in a safe working order, you could very well have gone with getting a turbo, doing a swap, or even doing some small internal building on your F22 motor.

Owning a good car and keeping it around is kinda like a good marriage... its only as fulfilling as the time you're willing to put in.

 

Dyno???



I love the Nitrous experts here that don't have a clue......Jared and I bought our kits for $2-300 and wents 13s.....LOfreakinL!
Both of us were running 100 shots......I personally went through 15-20 bottles, and the motor still has even compression and makes great power N/A(indication that Nitrous did NO damage)
Please, if you don't know what you're talking about.....don't try to give advice!

 

Why not save up the $3k-$4k you'd spend on a decent H22 swap (or on rebuilding your existing engine after a NOS related mishap), sell your 92 Prelude for around $3k and buy a faster car (FC RX7, 240SX, 4th/5th gen Prelude, 2nd gen MR2, etc.)?

 

sometimes people just fall in love with their cars......and can't part with them.
$800(H22) $300(H23 trans)=$1100+labor......How'd you get to $3-4k for a swap?

 

Decent swap. I'd be wary of just dropping in and DDing an engine I bought for $800 without having a pro disassemble and inspect it, and that adds up to more money. Plus, in this case, there's more involved than just putting in an engine and driving off into the sunset.

And if you're swapping in an H22, unless you're planning to go forced induction down the line, why use anything but the Euro-R / Prelude Type S motor? :D
