i would like to know the advantages of an H22 over a boosted F22/23. i'll give you the advantages of the boosted F23
1. more power
2. more power
3. more power
btw. my car has been boosted for over a year. 100,035 miles on it. and full compression in all 4 cylinders
My H22 is going up to 248 by the end of this month....difference being is that it is constant power.....no waiting for the turbo to spool up and kick in...no added maintenence...oh and I started at 185hp to the wheels.
Not trying to be difficult but just saying the stability in an NA motor vs a boosted motor is enormously different and if you read his original post you will see why I recommend the swap over the turbo........he is lacking knowledge of how it all works in general and may cause more harm than good.
BTW you don't mention in your post but I assume you also had your internals gone through before the boost was hooked up....right?
