I thought my question would be on the site, but I have had a hell of a time finding it. So to start off and not waste anyones time does someone happen to know of a thread I should check out?

I was thinking about having myself a little winter fun by building a turbo engine. However, I was not quite sure what block was the best thing to start with... I will do a full rebuild of the motor, but if I didn't have to sleeve or do anything else it would be a plus.

My goal would be around 400-500hp
I should also mention I have never built a Honda motor before, only v8's.. but the Honda game is just so darn fun!

 

Is this a serious thread?

Last time you were talking a lot of mess about putting VTEC killer cams in a euro H22 that you supposedly were building. Now it's a turbo and engine project that you think you're just going to whip up for "fun".

 

Haha, i know i know. I saw a video on vtec killer cams. Thought it would be a fun idea. After truly reading enough about it, I just don't have enough money to fully build a car that could handle them. Still have the Euro h22, not sure what to do with it.
I'm a huge fan of turbos, and read h22's have a weak block.

 

Stick with your V8 and put a turbo on that instead

 

common uneducated turbo question/verbage:

whats the best motor/turbo to use with my motor
i plan to make enter very high hp number here
i searched every where and i cant find what im looking for...exactly

 

What's so funny? You know how you sound right about now?

You didn't have enough money for a build before. What's changed now? Especially since you're talking about an even MORE expensive project?

 

Thanks for the help...

It was a very simple question. What is the best block to start with...

 

This very simple question is asked all the time
There isn't a best of anything until you build it.

 

I've asked the same thing in the past as I want to build up a B series on the side and eventually swap out my D motor for it. I pretty much got the same smart *** remarks as you're getting. To many random aholes but there are plenty of smart helpful fellas too so don't give up.

 

Ill elaborate:
If we had two b series motors to choose from then the answer would be easy. Meaning motor 1 and motor 2. To my knowledge there is about 10-12 different types of b series motors that were used worldwide. (B16-b20 family tree)

As you know, there are about 5-10 reputible company's that build internal parts for a Honda that all work. When one ask "what is the best" it quite difficult to say which. I never asked what is the best I just went ahead and searched to find out which is mostly used and researched that brand to understand why.

Forgot to mention; many people have had success with all of the b-series motor. Just take your pick and go from there...it's really that simple

 

Nice answer!!

 

 

I agree, it's about researching and working out what will work best for YOU. No two people are alike, we're all different. What I see as my best maybe totally different to someone else's... Besides, I don't like the word "best", too many people use it so, so wrongly.

If your h22 is a closed deck block... Cometic head gasket, arp studs and your good to go

 

Couldn't agree more.

What a great answer, Thanks so much for taking the time to write this.
Glad there are some people on this site that are happy to educate.

 

is this thread for serious bro?


My heads pounding now.

 

 

I give it a week
