hi guys
Im about to purchase the darton sleeve, rod, piston and gasket set, http://www.darton-international.com/kit_sale.htm

I am in the UK so i expect shipping to be a bit pricey but none the less, is there any other bits I need to lay my hands on for the build? I am adding ARP head bolts to the list....
And I shall build the cyl head up at another stage...(valves, retainers, port/polishing.

Also does anyone know any decent h22 build books/sites? The engine is a h22a

Thanks in advance

 

bump!

 

bump?

 

Building for boost?allmotor?nitrous? Darton sleeves are great.

 

i'll be building the car for boost

 

Well pic your sleeve, (darton, golden eagle, rs, benson), then its lower or stock sompression pistons and aftermarket rods. I'd go with a 9:1 or there abouts wiseco, edyne, or CP, and some eagle or crower rods. That should be all you need for a solid bottom end. What's your HP goal or do you have one?

 

golden eagle sleeves, bore it out to 89mm, rollerwave pistons/crower rods=

any reason you say this or is that what is the thing to do right now. Why bore to 89mm when you can run a little more boost or a little higher compression and have room to bore the block in the future?

 

with 89mm you can bore out to 91mm, thats my set up

Name 1 person in the country who's running a 90mm bore on a boosted h22 application that isn't a full drag setup.

 

I shall be sticking with the stock bore as to avoid hairline cracks, the engine is about 200hp in stock form and im going to be eventually putting it in a MKII CRX shell which I am just preparing. I basically want to double the output of my engine so about 400whp would put a big smile on my face. I dont expect this thing to be a daily driver due to the traffic around where I live but thats not to say I wouldnt like it road legal for the weekends
I have a h22a on its way and a h22 turbo kit I managed to get for a good price off ebay.co.uk
I was about to invest in the Darton competition package its on http://www.darton-international.com, what do people reckon to that? seems a good price but then im from the UK so I dont have much choice here
http://www.darton-international.com/kit_sale.htm

 

price on the full kit?

 

it is $1173 ... doesnt seem to come with rods thou! is that needed when boosting the h22? what are the stock rods like?

 

they're fine but might as well replace them since its being rebuilt. i remeber seeing someone on this board that has a stock h22 turbo setup with rods and was pushing like 300+whp or something....someone correct me if im wrong


EDIT: Here's the link Stock H22 Turbo

 

will a h22 boosted at 10PSI be ok on stock rods?
Thanks
