Default h22 swap or turbo?

I have a 92 lx,I/E, Its getting to be engine upgrade time, should I get a turbo kit, or do the swap? Both options can be acomplished. This car is the spare ride, totally for driving enjoyment. Thanks peoples!

if the motor is in good shape, crank up the boost.
boost it until it melt itself down, remember the fseries motor doesnt worth a freaken dime

F's take boost quite well. I say boost it, but manage it properly. An oem F22 can run 7# forever depending on the care that is taken and the original condition and 7# is plenty fun. BTW, build the kit yourself and save about $1500 over most kits. jm2c

hehehe i'm satisfied..

like i said on the "turbo accords how's it going" thread, my stock block will handle just fine with this amount of boost.

VIDEO: http://www.imagestation.com/vi...77859
on the video i couldn't zoom in the numbers cuz i ran out of memory haha.. 32mb sucks ...


the dyno sheet was printed in MPH not RPMS ... i gotta see if i can get the sheet with RPMS



14psi with 269hp @ 281lbstrq
(stock engine, never opened or touched)

f22 stock can't handle 14 psi huh? hehehe

If money's an issue and you can't do both then I would have to say boost. A blow off valve is the second sexiest scream that a person can hear in their entire life

I would be cool to boost the car but after watching the video below you will want to go all motor. This is just an amazing video.
