Just curious as to why other people arent turbo'ing there 2.3's is it cause it doesnt have potential like the h22?
* This is the only f23a i have seen w/ a turbo, besides accords.*
This will be my next step if someone can give me some positive news

 

There are a few member that have turbo'd their cl's on here.

That guy says he's pulling 212 at the wheels, I thought you could get close to that with just a h22 swap without a SC or turbo.

 

def a few members that have turbo'd the f's, most guys on here would rather drop in a more powerful motor than deal with all the work it takes to make a good custom turbo

 

Talk is cheap!

 

could you point me in a direction of those members, i have searched but came out with nothing.

 

they havent posted/ even been on here in forever.

I remember insyone (from hawaii?) and blenz (from canada)

 

What ever happened to Insoyne? He took the nicest pics..

 

because you lose your front motor mount when you go turbo.

 

wontonjohnny, xxrunner86xx, blenz, ethenol, hulk22 all had turbos along with a couple other i can't remember all the screennames at the moment

cocoa, supramanag, starboy and a couple others all currently building turbo setups

 

hmmm should be interesting. maybe it's just me but 212 with boost is kinda low is it not>??

 

130 crank to 212 wheels, what do we put to the wheels stock 100+ hp gain?

 

the 4 cyl i dunno mines a 6 i just figured it would have more

 

thats with stock internals though it could be way faster

 

ok there u go thats the kicker, beefed up internals and up the boost

 

200+ whp NA out of an H22 is possible but not easy.

you're looking at a 3" exhaust, custom header, cams, ported TB and IM and a tune at the very least. that's not cheap.

 

true but gotta pay to play and goin fast in a car isint cheap

 

99CL has 206whp, N/A build. bolt-ons only.

 

if you got the money to play with to get the job done right you can make good power with the f22 or 23 back in the day there was just not enough info or people doing this which made it very hard to make good choices on what to do. so doing h22 swaps seem better. but good luck

 

There is no substitute for cubic inches 4's just cost so much money and your only looking at like a 250 horse motor unless u go real crazy then it cost a butt load of money. I have to say built fours are fun to drive, spunky little guys.

 

i thought ethenol had a TT J? and isnt hulk an h22 swap?

 

yes. and yes.

 

What exactly are you trying to prove wrong? I listed members on here that have or had turbos, Ethenol had a TT yes, I said he had a turbo setup, hulk has a turbo h22

 

Would you say no replacement for displacement!? lulz.

 

lol, only in the context that it's a larger displacement motor with all the turbos and shit you'd do to the smaller motor.

 

i bought a crank pulley off a guy who turboed his BB1. Fully built JDM h22, type S internals,resleeved, the whole 9 yards. huge FMIC.

he showed me his dyno sheet, 389whp. car sounds so mean with a 3.5" exhaust

 

sound clip or it didn't happen.

 

op asked about turbo F's. i wasnt trying to prove anything wrong, just clarify.

 

You damn right that shit aint cheap lol.

BTW to the OP, Will is xrunner86x, and he went turbo H22 after turboing that F23. Just to let u know. 212/228 aren't bad number to the wheels at all on that build though.

 

gtfo, no sound clips. It's a sick car, take my word for it. the nicest i've seen in a while.

i know. i want my car to have all that but i don't got the mucho doneiro it takes.

 

But i've never heard a 3.5" on a 4cyl before!!
