Default Rebuild F22/LX head... worth it? NO H22 COMMENTS..

Anyone know how much it would cost to do a rebuild with good compression ratios, new valves, springs. I want to skunk2 the accord F22... maybe get some 9:1 pistons and a turbo camshaft... will the turbo camshaft work on a N/A setup in the meantime?

Will H22A Skunk2 Valves, camshafts, springs, retainers all fit in a F22 head?
I'm guessing the Skunk2 H22A intake manifold will fit on the F22 since the stock one from a H22A will fit a F22... give me a heads up on preping the motor, 150k, looking to raise my redline too for my boosting application to like 7000/7500 for a nice sprinter/sleeper...
Can someone give me a heads up on how much it will cost to rebuild what is necessary?

Would I be better off with stock 8.8:1 compression pistons or getting new 9:1 aftermarket pistons for the motor, or 10:1 or 10.5:1 or 11:1, or 11.5:1. or 12:1...

What in the motor would be needed to build the stock motor for safe 8-12psi driving, overheating no problems.. I am somewhat of an engineer so I am trying to make sure I cover all my tracks and keep the car running as a daily driver. Looking to get about 250WHP out of the car and somewhere around 200TQ. Please tell me what my cost efficient options are,excluding EMS systems that are programmed via a laptop, I will however invest in a chipped ecu from a reputable company if you can think of one (jet is borderline...).

Thanks guys
-Matt

You can get that much power out of boosting the stock motor. Just get it tuned with Hondata or AEM and it'll be fine.

A VAFC would do just fine as long as you keep it around 10 PSI or below stick with stock internals, just get a compression test and leakdown test done to see if you actually should even consider boosting this engine.
