Get a car with a V8? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

As much as i love Hondas and owned one for years this is the only solution.

But that being said, cams,bolt-ons, and a good header should get you to 200hp and thats enough to run 11s in a hb....low 12s on street tires

Good Luck

Also go here....no need to ask this on a caraudio site...just gonna get opinions of people not facts

Watch how many cry and say honda-tech is useless and gay......i love it

Uhhhhhhh....H22 in a Teg? Why dont you just take a B18, through some Wisecos on there, a nice thin cometic gasket, some Ti valves and retainers, Skunk2 cams, p+p and blueprint the head, and grab a chipped p28 ECU off of someone on honda-tech and have a car running ~250 at the crank for only about 7 grand which includes the price of the motor?

K20>b20vtec>lsvtec>b16>h22 lol how i see it.. i had a mild built b16 and **** smashed in my crx

definitely look into an h22. but as mentioned before, save the $1000 on the motor and go for building up on the b18 thats already in the teg. You'll be shooting yourself in the foot with all the mods you'd have to do in that small engine bay.

You could of course get a '95 accord that's still in good condition and then do the 22 conversion on it. Lot's of room, modifications to get the engine in are not drastic. And nobody will ever think you're running a 22 in an accord.

h motors will not show much of a gain when it comes to bolt ons. i have the jdm h22a in my prelude and did a cai and full 2.5" exhaust and didnt notice a difference at all and only gained minimally at the track. also the header is already at a max power unless youre willing to spend close to 1200$. i know the fastest n/a h22 is only like 500hp and its tens of thousands of dollars worth of mods. really only option to getting quick legal hp for cheap is to turbo or sc it.

Whatd you expect from a cai and exhaust.......but you did gain at the track so it was worth it.

If you think H motors respond bad to bolt-ons try a B Series....its even more of a joke.

In the fairy world of money growing on trees we'd all love turbocharging our cars the right way.

And yes a good header for it is around 1000 unless you find on used....but well worth it:

Cams and some tuning...bam right around 250 more than enough for a Teg to get moving...or slap it into a HB and with drag radials mid 11s

ONLY 500hp n/a.....how can you use that word only...and id like to see that...i dont believe it

exactly ...... 250hp in a car that light is doing things, very fast things //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif once you go over 300hp , its almost too much power ( ill get flamed for saying that lol //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif ) but really the h22 isnt all that great , id rather have a fully built up b16 , and have it rev 10k reliably all day , or even go ls vtech just for a little more torque

Yehh b16 to 10k would be fun....but youd have to rev to 6k just to pass someone....think about the TQ an H22 makes....when i do i just //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif :yumyum:

cali = almost no street legal mods....... plain and simple if your goin to stay street legal your goin to pay top $ for parts ... carb legal headers and intake , plenty of head work , cams , hidden nos maybe //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif , stage 2 clutch ,full catback ummm maybe forged internals if your wallets deep enough //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

carb legal headers = keep your cat

carb legal intake = no such thing really... just make sure the filter stays clean

head work = pretty useless on a non-boosted car. P&P is about all you could use

cams = so slight. aggresive + no turbo = a car that won't idle, no low end power, and gallons of smoke on the top end

hidden nos = seriously?

stage 2 clutch = WHY? stage 2 clutch would be needed if you made some decent power, but no N/A honda will need much more than a stage 1.

full catback = anything but a bolt on fart can. There is such a thing as TOO big.

forged interals = again... WHY? You forge internals to make them stronger. As in, to hold more pressure... Like with a turbo, or blower. N/A motors hardly have ANY used for forged guts.

Do yourself a favor... You want to make some N/A power with an H22... Bore/stroke to 2.3 - 2.4l, high compression internals, thin metal headgasket, slight cam, good ignition, and good tune/engine management. Lightweight flywheel (learn to shift quick), stage 2 clutch, which you'll need at this point. Research the crap out of the available headers, and find the best long tube-esque headers you can get, hi flow cat, and a 2.25" - 2.5" full catback, with a GOOD muffler. Or just buy a good catback system from GReddy or the like.

Oh, and ALL Hondas FAIL at tq.

haha ok then imma get just an 16 or 18 and supercharge it..maybe a delsol

 

[Ferendon 10+ year member]

Turbo is proven to be alot better on a B-series. turbo lag = a few seconds before you make any power = way less wheel spin.

idk y... but im a fan of a turbo D-series (let the flaming begin)

ive seen them break 500hp... my stock engine (93 civic hb si) is an D16z6 (sohc vetec //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif w/p28 factory)

if i decide to boost (11-18lbs) this thing ill plan on... destroker kit or vitera pistons to lower compression, new internals (forged...) new headstuds, new gaskets... and ill rebuild my factory tranny (hx series)... with that done i should be around atleast 325hp and in a hatch with such a light engine and a tranny with such wide gearing (2nd tops out at about 80 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fro.gif.c695f1f814b01c4ad99fe7f8cccadd29.gif ) it should be pretty quick for a D series:...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Considering that their 2100-2500 lbs 200tq is more than enough to feel it in the pants

Def....SOHC Vtec engines make some nasty power and are cheap.....some of them acutally make more TQ than HP

my cousin built a delsol with a h22 swap in it. had it turbo'd. but never really got to drive it b/c they was still tuning it. it was doing around 350-400 hp. he wasnt done doing all the stuff to it but he left one week to go to cali and when he landed in cali his phone blew up with the guys at the shop saying somebody stripped his turbo and intercooler and all that stuff. about a month later we found a guy talking about he had a turbo setup for his h22. keep in mind this guy was piss broke and then a few weeks later he changed his story and said his turbo kit didnt fit right for some reason..........................the intercooler, brackets, pipes and all that stuff was made custom to fit a delsol. lol. he ditched the stuff before we got it back tho.
