ok so i have changed my mind and i wanna do an engine swap now my only question is what should it be

 

Have you tried searching before you asked any of those questions? Just saying that would be a great place to start. I found it all on GOOGLE.

Yes those pistons fit.
You should ask more specific questions. You'll get more help that way homie.

 

would i have the same compression

 

you wont be able to do anything with your budget

about how much do i need then im on a cheap budget and i also dont want a racecar i want good parts but not racing parts do you catch my drift also are arias pistons a good name

 

depends on if you rebuild your block or not and where u get your parts from

rebuilding block pistons rods = 1500-2000
injectors = about $500
EMS = 500
tune = 500
fuel pump=$100

and thats not even including turbo parts I dont know of any kits off hand for f series usually kits start at $2k

 

Don't even bother for 2500$

 

YEA MAN IVE BOOSTED MY BUDGET TO ABOUT 4000 I THINK THAT SHOULD WORK

 

You have a crap motor to build/boost as parts are scarce.

Cheap H beam rods - $250.
Wiseco K20 pistons - $500.
Bearings/seals/etc - $150-250 depending on what quality you go for and race or regular bearings.
Machine work - $200-300 for hone, micropolish crank, deck, etc. Assuming you gap the rings, spec the bearings yourself, and do the engine assembly. More if not.
Valvesprings - $250.
Timing belt/water pump kit - $100-200, again depends on quality.
Headstuds and headgasket. -$200+
Balance shaft delete kit(optional) - $150.
Flywheel resurfaced - $50
Clutch kit to handle 400hp - $350+.
Turbo - $700-1000+ depending on model and options chosen.
Manifold - $100, cheap log will get you to 400hp.
Custom downpipe fabrication. - $100-200
Intercooler/piping/etc - $400+
Wastegate - $230 for a precision 39mm.
BOV - $200 for a cheap greddy.
Fuel injectors, pump, etc - $250-400+
ECU, conversion harness, tune - $1000 easily.

I'm sure I'm forgetting some things.

So, if you're keeping score so far that's a total of about $5000 on the low side. It can and easily will shoot up even more in price as small labor costs, little parts here and there, etc add up. There are a lot of hidden costs doing this sort of thing that aren't always so obvious.

This also doesn't take into account the suspension and brakes on your car that will need to be upgraded to handle the extra power if you want the car to be even remotely safe. Also at 400hp it's a good idea to upgrade to a better radiator setup which will run a few more hundred bucks.

 

Oil lines, fittings, some sort of catch can setup add in another $300.

as aradin said his quote was definetly on the cheap side no way I could get a custom downpipe around here for $200. also when piecing together a kit yourself your bound to make mistakes/fitment issues especially if you have not done this before which increases the cost

theres money to be saved if you dont go for rebuilding the block and stay arround 300hp assuming your block is healthy

 

Yup. I also forgot aftermarket engine mounts which would be pretty much mandatory at that power level as well. That's another $250. Even then you'd be praying the sleeves didn't crack because of the long stroke this particular engine has.

I wouldn't even trust a stock F23 at 300whp honestly. Maybe around 260-280 tops. The rods on them are much smaller than the F22s they're derived from. They have headgasket issues moreso as well.

 

good call im a F and H series noob. I had a F22 years ago but it was not boosted

My best advice would be to call go autoworks and see if hes willing to build a kit, im sure he has done so in the past. that cuts down on parts not working with eachother and fitment issues

 

Ok so now lets say I wanna do a motor swap i have 2 ideas and i want your full idea feedback either a k24a2 or a h22 which one would be better or is it not even worth it let me know what you think thanks

 

K swap will be out of your budget and not worth the gains. H23A blue top would be better than a standard H22 and just as cheap.

Seems like you want cheap power. Sell the Accord and buy a cheap LS1 Camaro/Firebird or something along those lines.

 

with your budget you may want to change your goal. If you're just looking for a fun car just boost the f23 and call it a day. as stated before you'll be limited on the setup but it gives you a fun car to drive. Another option would be is just to sell the car and buy a civic. but not sure if you want to go that route. theres more option in that direction. Good luck either way.

 

what do you mean not worth the gains

 

Means you're going to spend more money than it worth to get the amount of power in the end. Example.....you spend $10k to get 200whp.
