i have a d16y7 block d16y8 head si tranny thinking of buying a edelbrock turbo kit it produces 175HP and 140TQ at the wheel at 7PSI or a stock H22 which one would be quicker? on a 1992 honda civic HB

 

. . . . . . . .

 

too many variables. race and find out.

 

H22, then after awhile turbo that...

 

an h22 might be quicker with bolt ons and tuning, dunno though cuz of the weight

 

besure to get arp head studs if u turbo, if not head lifting, ask bauleycivic about that. did u reuse your stock head bolts?

 

i bought some head struds but i wanna know which one is faster

 

h22 w/ bolt ons

 

how about if the H22 is stock which one will be quicker?

 

id say h22

 

I would think the H22 would be quicker. I don't know how much boost you would run on it. But regardless you can get way more hp out of the h22 in the long run anyways.

 

There's no replacement for displacement

 

only cuz u have an h22, btw how much did it cost u installed?

 

I do all my swaps. But there is a difference between a junkyard kit for his D series or a quality kit. Either way the prices will be similar. There are so many variables that change cost...

 

im thinking h22 will be faster. A buddy of mine had a 93 si with the greddy turbo kit in his SOHC vtec and he was only able to hang side by side with my other boy's b16a hatch with i,h,e.

that doesn't seem right, how much boost was he pushing/?

 

a well running h22a with bolt ons should make around 170hp and 150+ lb/ft.

 

i'm running 7 PSI 175HP 140TQ at the wheels

 

your torque should be much higher...

 

h22's are gay, please dont get one. I smoke them all the time.

 

Dont listen to them!!!! SOHC POWA!!!!! (Oh yea.... I'm doing my mini me right now and just purchased a turbo kit.....My answer might be a tad biased)

 

My opinion would be to get the turbo kit and turbo ur mini-me. You can boost around 9-10 pounds on that motor with stock internals and get some fuel management like hondata or urberdata. This will mean the front end of your civic will be lighter meaning better handling. An h22 in that civic will be very heavy and be more of a straight line car rather than a twisty turny car. So which would you rather have its all up to you. Also if you get an h22 youl will be snapping axles rather often due to the stress that is placed on them. So my opinion but im bias too because i have a mini-me that is about to be turboed. SOHC VTEC + BOOST= FUN
