racecar on throttle bodies? are you talking about itbs? and i would go with h22 though its more common its hell of alot cheaper then the k20...but if your stuck with the k20 i would go with the k24/k20 combo though the mounts are still yet to be released to the public

Before we go too far with this thread, would you mind tellling us what you mean by racing?

Do you mean NASA Honda Challenge, SCCA road racing, or some kind of drag racing?

I think our answers are going to differ. You mention ITB so I am assuming you do NOT mean Honda Challenge, but it's possible you haven't really investigated the rules thoroughly.

If you're not limited by the kinds of modifications you can do, you will ultimately end up with more power in the K motor.

Many rules limit the K motor modifications, but allow more modifications for H motors. In these cases, like the H1 Honda Challenge rules, you can end up with just as much power in the H motor as you'd have in the K motor, and you will have spent less than half the money.

That is more HP than I deal with. I deal with 220-250 HP, and I know that it's attainable with an H22, reliably and much more cheaply than you can get it with a K20.

That extra 50-75 HP you want is making me nervous, though. I think you need to dig up users like Nikos, Mase, Arturbo and PrecisionH23A. They have areas of expertise that would be helpful, and all three of them could also build the motor if you wanted.

Feel free to stop by and read the All Motor Forum for hints.

I hate to flake out on you, but you're asking for more HP than I'm comfortable with, and I'm a road course person, not a drag racer.

Im with George on the road course bit, but for you I would say H22 for the time, mostly because of price per horsepower. The K20 is still very expensive, and there is not as much knowledge out there for swapping it into Accords as there is for the H22. Also, I think the H22 can reach those all-motor goals for again, less money. If money, info, and necessary mods were more readily available though, I would definatelly go K24/K20 hybrid... that thing would be a beast in theory.

I've heard a few of f22's with turbo and there kind of load when at the red light. Or when on the highway. I just don't like the sound of it. I like the way a wrx sounds or the lancer.

Let me ask you this, f22 with a turbo at 300 to 350hp, is it pretty reliable for a daily driver?????

i hate the sound of the wrx's boxer ....back on topic, if your not bounded by budget and $$ i would say go for the K20/24. if you are then get the H22, cheaper, tried and tested to hell and back, reliable, many avaible resources for help and trouble shooting, the list goes on and on for the pros of doing a H22.

If you have the kind of money you are talking about you could easily build your f and make a very nice turbo setup for it. 300 hp is easily attainable and can be reliable if you get a good tune (EMS if you are willing to shell out the money).
