Default So sad....

It's sad that the turbo kits cost more than the actual engines.

I'm wanting an H22 and to put a Drag turbo kit on there
the engine is 1500 and the kit is 3200!

Hey hey, if i order them both at the same time, wouldn't it be a little easier to install the turbo before installing the engine into the car or does it matter? If I'm having a mechanic do it wouldn't they charge less?

ALso, how much do most mechanics charge for a swap from H23 to H22? It is basically the same engine correct? Just with VTEC.

I doubt there would be any real advantage to doing a turbo install at the same time as a swap. I agree with the cost of turbo kits, it seems like the H22 is one of the more expensive engines to boost.

It would be dope if I could boost my lude. It's a huge investment though ... time and mone wise which I don't think I can afford right now. The Greddy kit looks nice.
