Is this your DD? Will you be fucked if you dump money on turbo and then have something punch a hole in your block? Will you be skipping things like fuel management, clutch, and braking upgrades to save money?
If you answered “yes” to any of these then I would strongly advise against boost.
:word:
I ran a 20g on my 150,000 mile unrebuilt 4g63 and spanked a lot of asses before it went. This was at 20psi too.
But then again a 4g63 is a million miles away from an f22. So yes, check the compression and do a leakdown. That will give you some idea as to how your motor will last.
what would it run, to Leakdown/Compression test??, and focus “creative drilling/porting to fit the f22 head” LMFAOL :lol::lol:, you are not helping, i AM a complete :noob:. remeber i can bolt stuff together, like 1+1, but anything outside the box would be like asking me to build a WORKING nuclear reactor out of WOOD. but if i can do leak down compression test, and it shows good number, which i would have no idea what is is good or bad, maybe ill do boost, specially if it runs under 1k, for mods.
oh and did i meantion my car is a AUTO, lol:poke:
I’d have to say the auto tranny part is the clincher for me. I mean, there is nothing saying you couldn’t swap the tranny too, but you can add at least another $500 in parts if not $1000 or more to swap the tranny over too.
Save your money and buy something better to mod. If your just going on looks, and you like the way your car looks, then keep it. If you want to go the performance route, I’d say look around and see what other cars you like and could see yourself in.
A S2000 would be pimp, but lets face it, they are not exactly in everyone’s price range.
Find something that you can afford and that has a stronger base to build from. (Motor wise).
And it all makes sense…
Dude you’re at the point in your automotive enthusiasm that we’ve all been at: the beginning. Unfortunately, that’s where you have to start. You’ve got a car that you like, which is the most important thing. Now start small…
You’ve got performance in mind, so maybe start with a cold air intake kit. They’re relatively easy to install so it’s a good way to start getting your hands dirty.
Ever done a brake job? That’s another fairly easy way to start learning how to turn a wrench.
For more performance, maybe a lightened or underdrive crankshaft pulley. Seems pretty easy, just get some stuff out of the way, take off the belt, then take off the one nut that holds on the pulley. Unfortunately, that nut can be a bitch to get off and then once it’s off the pulley doesn’t always want to move. That would be a good job to start learning that even an easy job can be a bitch.
It sucks, but you can’t go from n00b to forced induction. That is unless you just hand someone your car and a wad of cash, which you very well could do. I guess I just assumed this wouldn’t be possible, but if it is you probably could just take your car and a credit card to Hybrid Connection and get back a screaming Accord…
Of course you may not be interested in hearing any of this, since all you actually asked about was if your 150k F22 could be boosted without going boom right away. The general consensus is that yeah it probably could, but you should check a couple things and upgrade some of the weaker parts if you really want to be sure to avoid vroom-boom, and even then you still have to be able to handle the increased risk of your car shitting out if you go turbo.

^^^^Yepperrrrrss…what HE/SHE said…
Dude…H22 if you wanna keep your car…
THey are not that expensive… Check out http://hmotorsonline.com/
well, the f22 would handle boost well as a stock vehicle…the 2g DSM manifolds/turbos would work well and just need some creative drilling/porting to fit the f22 head. there is actually a dsm manifold already drilled and ported for the f22. you could get a used 16g for a decent buck, make your own piping and exhaust downpipe, get zerodaze to chip it, and have a budget turbo kit under $1000. that would probably satisy you and be around 250-275 hp respectively. then when the motor blows new pistons/rods/rings will cost about $1000 again and then you can crank up the boost.
like 1+1, but anything outside the box would be like asking me to build a WORKING nuclear reactor out of WOOD. but if i can do leak down compression test, and it shows good number, which i would have no idea what is is good or bad, maybe ill do boost, specially if it runs under 1k, for mods.
oh and did i meantion my car is a AUTO, lol:poke:
Under a $1000 for a complete turbo kit…? where ?
Ebay is the only place i can think off, and those xs power turbos are crappy…beleive me…I know…
a decent homemade turbo will probably run you around 700 to 1000 bux like focusinprogress stated above, but then again you probably dont even know how to change your plugs so…how are you planning to do all this for under $1000?
NO WAY…and on top of all that, you have an AUTO tranny…c’mon…
Either way…GOOD LUCK!
Just my .02
you say you are a complete “noob” to FI. so, buy this and read it first.
i didnt notice you have auto…if you like the car so much, find one that is stick with less miles to boost or get one with a blown motor(to swap). or just save to get an even better car altoghether
lol, well guys i am a noob but not that much of a noob, i done intake install, timing belts, plugs, oil change, replace, exhust(header,cat and muff), but only bolt on things, window motor replace, m3 mirror :), but turbo is not a bolt on thing, and i done everthing i think to the car but force induction, so i was thinking about it, and yes this is really the begining for me, and am addicted,i want to make this accord challange a F1, yea right. but you get me.
now that you mention underdriver pulley, will that give me any HP gains?? if yes,i will get it next week, 
.
i think ill do everything else but boost, i dont like that idea of my car just quiting on me on of these days.
i say boost it till it dies, then just do a quick d series swap and boost that, prolly not efficient for a dd but it works and u’ll be fast
There’s a lot you can do before you go turbo. I’m not sure if it’s all available for an F22 or if any of it would be worthwhile, but as far as bolt ons go there’s
-intake
-header
-exhaust
-cams
-ECU
-pulleys
-flywheel
-lightweight wheels
You said you’ve done header, cat, and muffler. Please tell me you didn’t do that and leave all the stock diameter crush-bent piping…
with 150k on the clock, that cat was probably a hell of a restricion … after a
while eithe the exhaust starts to plug them, or they start to fall apart an plug themselves, so even if its stock pipes still, its an upgrade …
my lebaron cat was 1/2 plugged at 100k … so one day it wound up getting beaten off the shop floor, lol
Just out of curiousity, is it even possible to build the auto-tranny on a honda up? Not sure why everyone is down on them, but it does have it’s plus sides.
Or is it just not possible?
well i replace the whole exhaust and my car feels like its been giving viagara.
i think maybe cuz my cat was plug, lol," i THINK’ when this think has 150K, it must of been. but now i raced maximas altimas, even preludes among others, and i actually beat them, i know those are not the fastest car around but hey atleast am just a 2.2 SOHC.
am planing to get pulleys, i get the whole idea of lighter less parasitic drag = more HP. i also want to get cams, but how would that give me performance , i know it optimizes the spark timing and gives you HP, but how would i know if to retard or advance timing to get HP if any 1 knows what works best for f22 please let me know.
after those 2 mods , i really dont what else to get to make my rice faster.
also thinking of fuel pressure reg but would that add some HP, or would it mess up my a/f mix? any ideas let me know, no turbo i gave up on that, well atleast for now.
yoU WANNA GO FAST…?
but dont want to spend a ton of money..?
How about NOS…?:gotme:
I sold my sex kit awhile back for $300…
You might be able to find one cheap on EgAY…
EASY H/P…
Good LUck!
You need to do some reading about your car and performance modding before you start planning. I.E. cams do not advance timing, an fpr won’t do anything unless you have some heavy modding and need to increase the amount of fuel your system can deliver. It’s usually more of a turbo thing.
Oh and one of the things you’re going to learn is that reliable speed isn’t cheap, plain and simple.
A car can be good, fast, and cheap. But you can only pick two.
Normally I would agree with all the above :tdown: you are getting to turbo your car, but in this case I’m gonna make an exception.
DO IT!!! You’ll learn a lot about building it, you’ll get a good taste of the excitement of modding, and then blow your shit up and get a good taste of reallity. It’s not a huge loss (in the big picture), but just enough to make you do it better the next time. When you are getting rides to work, or riding the bus/ your bike places and see us riding by in our whips, you’ll build some determination to do it better and right the next time, and then wind up with a sweeter ride.
Learning the “hard way” sometimes points you in the right direction.
x…
I don’t know anything about honda’s but from what I have read hear I would say you be better off driving your car into the ground and saving your money to buy somthing new. :gotme:
Isn’t that pretty much always the case? But you have a learning opportunity here, and you might as well take it!
