Default f22a6 build

I have a 92 accord with the f22a6 and I have a plan i want but i wanna see suggestions,

my plan is to go for a N/A build running ITBs, high compression and higher revving.

i want to put a H22 vtec head on

i would consider turboing it but i feel its smarter and cheaper to go N/A

Definitely not smarter and cheaper to go NA. You will hit diminishing returns extremely quickly and end up spending thousands for an extra few horsepower. Turbo is the way to go if you want real additional power. $2500-3000 into a decent turbo setup, supporting mods, and tune and you can easily make 300whp+ on the stock engine. Naturally aspirated you could easily spend 3-5x that amount and won't even come close to 300whp.

F22A6 is already the best flowing single cam F series head. If you want to use an H22 head then you may as well just use an entire H22 platform instead.

Figure out your power goals and go from there. If 300whp or less, you generally don't need to build the engine if it's in good shape and tuned well.

I'm saying if you want 220-270hp then you need a complete turbo kit, fuel system, clutch, tune, etc etc. Sounds to me like you have a lot more research to do.
