i have a 94 Accord EXR 2 door and running a bit rough so i`m ready to jump in about 3k worth whats to do??????????? suggestions?????

 

do a swap and won't have to worry about much problems if done right.

Boosting is a lot more fun, can be come quite expensive and costly in the long run.

I'd do a swap and boost later if I have more cash if I was you.

 

I have a '90 accord and i am doing the motor swap. I will tell you how it goes.

 

I had a h22 accord, and I am now going to turbo my h22 civic... I would say just turbo the f22... the engines are cheap and can make good power.

 

Yeah but its not a good idea if it has alot of miles like mine do. I would be putting a turbo on mine if i didnt have 170k miles..

 

either do an H22 swap or try to find a nice low miles F22b1 and turbo that.

F22 Turbos will make more power and can be fairly reliable, though a H22 swap is still going to more reliable if this is your daily driver.

 

so with turboing a f22 and some mild head work roughly what kind of power am i looking at compared to doing a h22 swap and some bolt ons????

 

do a leak check, if it's fine then turbo it.

A mild head work includes valve job, valvetrain upgrades, P&P + an equal length and match ported intake manifold, etc. + a good turbo setup. You should be looking at ~220-250whp safely given that your tuner does a good job. It'll be faster than an h22 + bolts on (~180-200whp max). It's fun. Make sure you have a good setup and a GOOOOOOD Tuner.

 

Yeah i would say check the engine to see whats wrong with it, then do a leak/head check and if its fine turbo it. It doesnt really matter how many miles you put on it, as long as it checks out fine, plus if you need a new one you could grab a low mile stock f22, or even a stock dohc f22 for 500 bucks. It will be MUCH faster then a stock h22 or even a stock turboed h22 because you can boost it way more cause of the lower cr.

Edit: almost forgot, you can put together a turbo for about 1700 bucks, that leaves enough to fix your engine, buy new pistons and ringlands because you will need them for your turbo if you are going to boosting 16+ psi daily. And you could even buy a good ems and be at about 3200 bucks.

 

I see 3 stock h22 boosted @~280-379 whp daily without problems and still going strong. One of those two have been and still boosting after 2+ years. Saw one online making 440+whp stock. Don't know if it's daily driver. So stock internals on H22 aren't that weak. You just need a good tuner and a good setup And of course, a good drive too
