hey 98sleeper, just been reading thre thread, heres my 2 cents...
when i got into the tuning scene, i heard all the talk about h22's. i was all ready to go and get a whole JDM h22 hookup and then someone enlightened me. if you didnt know, the f series honda engines (all accord motors) have much lower compression then the H series motors (preludes). yeah they make about +50hp at the crank over the accord motors but they are not good for turbos. when i was deciding between FI or NA i was advised to build up my f23 and just boost it. youll make a lot more power for a lot less. i dont know where people get these numbers from but an h22 with tranny, ecu and everything is gonan be aroun 1700 shipped. if its a j-spec its gonna be upwards of 2 g's. then you have the posibilty of having to do an obd2 - obd1 conversion, plus new ecu and all that. not to mention getting it swapped. its gonan cost a lot of money to do a swap like that. yeah its gonna make a lot more power n/a but stick with the f series. get a good turbo kit and start building up your bottom end, and get good EMS then turn your boost up and youll be smokin.
