Default which is better? h22 swap or Turbo charged on a 91 accord ex dr

So yeah. For those experts out there. At first, I thought about going with an h22 swap but I just changed my mind not too long ago. Now, I want to go turbo charged. I mean with a 2.2 liter thats pretty torqueky compared to 1.5's, 1.6's, 1.7's, and 1.8's. All they got are probably rev's and either vtec's on the sohc engines, non-vtec on some of the dohc or both. My accord runs nicely but it lacks because it's a single over head cam. So I figured, why not go turbo charged since I don't have vtec? I mean my accord can pull some integras with just an after market header and intake from ebay, and this dumb ugly ass aftermarket muffler.

So tech's, which path should I go with?

Go H22 then after you get tired of it, turbo charge it.

Depends, but personally I'd do the H22. It's a better base with far more potential.

The G engine code belongs to the Acura Vigor/2.5TL's G25A1/G25A2.

swap is more dependable, and less maintainence down the road... turbo is cool, esp the sound from the BOV, but high maintainence and u need to know ur sh!t b4 u go boosting

yup...that's "something the fucktards at Honda-Tech came up with." i was confused by it, too. i started thinking where they got the name from. F23+H22...G being the letter in between...go figure. but that's what they ALL call it there.
