You forget that we have VTEC. Im not 100% sure so correct me if im wrong. The non-vtec lobe is only slightly diffrent from stock so you actually retain mostly stock idle and drivability up until VTEC switches over.

 

yea i dunno if i could keep affording to get it retuned everyone so often.. tuning in cali is alot more expensive then the east coast... im actaully offering to trade my engine right now, cause i cant afford to keep it in my car running perfect, and id rather see it beeing usied for its purpose(the track).. so i m looken for a stock h22 for a trade.. look at my other forum.. its under wtt biult h22 for stock h22,b16,or gsr..
i need a daily driver with less hassle then a high compressio engine.. need to save money for the addition of a family member...

thanks for the replays..

:werd: H22a and slap a turbo on it. Thas all the power I really want for daily driving and weekend track runs. Get a good safs with a vtec controller and a turn up the Psi at the track. If I can pull off over 280+ hp ill be fine. Around here most posers run a few bolt ons and have a race car

 

i think (im not 100% sure either) but the stage three cam has pretty significant lobe profile changes. stage 2 non vtec lobes are slightly higher, so you still get good low end drivability. the stage three is designed for mid-high rpm power, it loses the low end driveability.

 

thats about the worst advice for tuning i have ever heard. Thats the exact reason why people with turbo h22's blow up.

 

I'd drop it to under 12.0:1 and you can get away with it if you're running light boost. Keep the stock cams or do a turbo oriented cam, do NOT do an NA cam for a turbo setup. It'll be a dog.

 

That is a myth. As long as you can dial out the overlap with cam gears, it will outperform any turbo cam out there.

 

You know that makes complete sense and I never thought about it like that. Touche'.

 

I originally thought the same thing as well, but on honda-tech, there are guys running boosted setups with stage 2 and stage 3 cams making 100+ hp over stock or turbo cams when they dial out the excessive overlap.

 

no not exactly... not all the ppl know what they are doin when they get the boosted h22. yes, its very risky but still when u run 7lbs on a h22 its alotta power and still be safe.
