Default I need help with an engine swap if anyone can help please NOOB

Ok well i have a 2001 Honda Accord 4cly ULEV peice of crap lol
But I want to get a lot of power under the hood. I have heard a lot about putting a h22 in there but I also want to boost and I heard that the h22 isnt that good for a turbo. So then I also heard that the F23 engine is a lot better for boost than the H series. And i dont know if I should go to a J series or not.. Please help thanks

If you want alot of power from the get go, just boost your current F23A4. Otherwise if you want all motor, go H22.

You could also so what i did to my old 95 cd5. I just put a 350 small block Chevy with a 700r transmission and a Dana 60 rear end (uncle has about five left) in it. Dumped a qudra jet on top and and hooker headers that dumped right under the seats. Required a lot of chassis modification but looked stock from the outside.

Scared a lot of ricers when they wanted to race me. I always turned the engine off at stop lights and had no neutral safety switch so i could fire it up in gear and slam the throttle. I loved that car. I miss it dearly. ******* cops saying it was illegal and to loud and blah blah......

Just piece together a turbo kit and get a EMS to get it tuned; since, your's an OBD2.

No your sleeves are fine, you can actually boost up to about 9psi safely on all stock components. Suggest rebuilding the rear end, at least mains/rods/pistons/rings if you want to go over that. Valves/Springs would also be wise if you decide on going higher on boost levels. H is better for all motor, F is better for boost (specifically the B2, but people boost B1's fairly often).

Do a leakdown and compression test to see where the condition of your engine's at. That'll give you an idea if you should rebuild it or not. What I would look at is the piston rings which leads you to do that compression test before you start boosting the motor, because that is the weak link when it comes to boosting.
