Default turbo?

http://www.importperformanceparts.ne...pec_honda.html - Extreme Turbo Kit version...

I've got an F22b with an Injen CAI, DC Sport 4-2-1 header, and cat-back OBX exhaust.

Is this worth it? As I've heard F22's are not good for turbo's...

Thanks!

Im gonna be honest with you, I guess your new but I was the same as you I asked many questions without doing some research, I suggest you do some research I tell you this cause thats what they told me, and on your question a few months ago somebody asked the same question on another thread, they dont make no good turbos for the f22 besides I just read another thread you posted that you dont have much money to spend on, we're talking of around 5 grand if you have it installed and around 3500 if you install it.

Do some research.
You can turbo any motor, ditch your intake and header to offset the cost of the turbo.
That kit is a beginner kit and I would recomend piecing one together yourself to save some money. Research the parts you'll need and what others are running (broaden your search by including prelude turbo set-up also).
$2,500 can get you better parts, more power and more reliability then the kits you found.

Looking at getting something less expensive/simpler, beyond the basic CAI/4-2-1/exhaust setup...
I thought you dont want it

FYI- He was referring to the guys name (B16ahybrid), not to the engine code.

uh f22's are great for turbo. low compression and iron ductile sleeves.

this will broaden your horizons a bit. boosted stock f22b1 from head to oil pan 335 whp/ 279 ft/lbs. this wasnt made off a commercially sold kit though, custom peiced setup and with proper tuning (hondata and dyno time).

i have pieced together a setup very similar to the one in the link above and its totalled to about $1800 all quality parts but with uberdata instead of hondata. BUT i have been collecting and reading/researching for almost a year now and only bought things at the best price i could find or when i had the money. also cuz i have a smog check due at the end of this year so i aint in no rush.

now with.. forged raceeng(wiseco) pistons, forged h23 (same size as f22) rods, in stock sleeves, h23 arp studs, and some head work you will have a single cam monster for relatively cheap compared to an h22 that would have to have sleeve to build or go high boost.

i just got done tearing my f22 apart, rebuilding the whole engine. and eveything in the head. and i always said i would never turbo the accord, my DD should never be turbo'd. and save it for the summer toys. but looking at those iron sleeves, and thinking about 14psi on track days. im not sure if i can resist the craving for boost.
