I think I'd like the turbo f22. You get all the fun little toys with the turbo and can play with it to get better results. H22 would be nice, but a turbo would be more fun in my opinion...

LOL, there is one board member that has done a turbo and he is dynoing something like250-260 at the wheels. It would be nice, but I don't like the idea of having to beef up the internals. If I had the choice, it would be an h22 nitrous fed monster.

i hear ya nied, but the H22 comes into effect when you really plan on doing more then just the swap. The prelude motor will be capable of alot more when put w/ equal mods of the f series motor. I think alot of people are buying them planning on building them. It's a steep price to pay but the h22 is a far superior motor when it comes to multipling up high HP numbers and a good power band.

This is even worse. Paying top dollar for an H series engine and then tearing it down and throwing it all away.

I think the market has driven the price of these engines way too high (much like the B18C). Its sad when you could by the car for a few hundred more than they want for the engine.

the f22 has 8.8:1 compression stock.

build the block and boost the living shit out of it.

besides, if you do blow the stock block, it wont burn a hole in your pocket to replace.

you could have a pretty nice sohc turbo setup. many people underestimate sohc motors, and when they are built well, they can perform be quite nice. we've got a few turbo'ed and na sohc civics down here doing 12's.

personally, im glad that i swapped out the f22 for the h22. even though some of you think that it is a complete waste of money, it was a great investment for me, and others. you do what you gotta do.
