hey guys you know if they make a supercharger for the 97 special edition, or do u think a bolt on turbo would be better?

 

Turbo:thumbup:

 

Turbo ... the only supercharger that i know of is made by Comptech for the Gen 6, V6

 

only turbo or a h22a swap.

 

Go with the turbo.

 

Bolt on turbo charger would be nice. But also, you will probably get the same amount of power if you get a H22A swap.

But, thats up to you.

 

but if you swap in an H22 then you still have a stock engine. it's not the one that came with the car but it's still stock.

my advice... keep the f22, beef your internals, and boost the **** out of it. an f22 can handle FI way better than the H22 and a good turbo kit should give you more gains than a engine swap if tuned correctly.

 

You realize what you just said right?

let's re-cap.

1) If you have a h22a, yes it's a stock engine but that's just like saying swapping in a 350 instead of a 305 is no difference.

2) If you are going to spend the money on CUSTOM (not popular) internals for a f22 and beef that up, why not spend the money on a swap and beef up those internals. A good turbo kit, not custom, is probably F-MAX and it willl probably run good 14's and that's just about what H22A's run. But have a good day

 

actually, your argument contradicts itself. the main difference between a chevy 305 and a 350 is displacement. the 350 has a higher displacement which results in more hp.

the F22 actually has a higher displacement than a h22. the H22 gets the extra hp from a more aggressive fuel curve and a higher compression ratio, not to mention being DOHC vice the SOHC F22.

i guess what i was trying to say earlier though is that if you want to boost, boost an F22. if you want to go NA. get an H22. the cast iron cylinder sleeves of the F22 play well with forged pistons in a turbo application. the composite sleeves of the H-series engines do not. not to mention that when running high boost on a DOHC engine, unless tuned properly, will result in blowby which is what happens when air/fuel is forced all the way through the cylinder without being ignited.
