yeah man I got my turbo for www.turbokits.com its an FMAX turbo and I love it...with my stock engine I can pump 9 PSI through it..and the engine whines and I just love it! Anyways..yeah get yourself a 5-speed and then slap a turbo on it...no need for engine swap cause your engins almost bran new!

 

yeah 5spd H22 turbo and stuff like that there...and if you really wanna be fast and stuff, get a 3 ft tall carbon fiber wing made in taiwan and plenty of stickers...stickers contain fast and furious compounds that do more for you than spending your money on real performance modifications...or at least that's what it looks like out here :-\ haha

 

This is funny. When I first starting posting here (not too long ago) I made a thread like this...sort of saying, "where should I start." The majority of responses, like in this thread, were H22 swap. I just think it's amusing that we all instantly say swap! I guess we would all have swaps if we had the $$$ and time. In the meantime, CAI, Headers, Exhaust.

 

I wouldnt be afraid to modify an F22 w/ 200k... I've driven F22s with 400+k miles on them, if maintained... the things don't die.

 

well he did say he wanted to be in the 13's. I, H, E isn't gonna put him there or even close

 

Well at 200k I'd have more then just engine concerns.

Have you looked into suspension bushings and the like?
*I'd fix that first

How about lines and all the hoses?

Is the rear developing Honda rust in the well?
**If yes don't spend another penny unless you love the car.

How worn is the interior: Brand new carpet and a good seat shampoo might be worth there weight in gold compared to a body kit.

Once you have invested in the suspension, interior, and body to get them back to like new shape, then I'd start looking at the engine and tranny, but not until the rest of the car is up to par.

 

Wouldn't it be better to work inside out? Like making engine mods first, then body/interiors mods so you dont end up with a nice looking "shell" and a burnt engine?

 

I see some of you are recommending He put a turbo on a engine with 200k? Is that a good idea? I remember a guy on here with A turbo and his engine only had 70 or 80 k on it and he blew his engine twice.

 

i have 227,000 on my wagon.....still runs like new

 

Second highest mileage car recorded in the United States is a 94 Accord EX with 1,800,000 miles. Only repairs were a gasket, annual timing belt/water pump replacements, 5 radiators, first alternator replaced at 400,000 miles, ball joints at 600,000 miles and the usual brakes, tires, hoses, batteries, etc. The car still runs fine, and is currently on display in a showroom at Hendricks Honda.
