have u got a basic mods?? CAI i had a apexi vafc and its not worth the money i reckon hey, u should have got a safc2 instead. i got my h22 conversion next step for my car is crower camshaft and cam gear and go for a apexi fc that should give way more power

[nik-vtec]

currently i didnt do any mod. that is why i asked what kind of mods should i do? what is the basic mods?

thanks

Basic mods should always be the Intake, Headers and Exhaust for a start....

[h22a accord]

yeah, what euroaccord said plus a set of cams, adjustable cam gears, ecu etc....

you can produce some good WHP figures then.

If ur willing to spend 2 or 3k on na stuffs then ur only about 2k from a turbo conversion.
Ask yourself if ur gonna be happy with just na mods or do u want boost?
filoaccord: i dont think they make power fc for h22a's

yeah 3k will get you a great turbo kit for your h22a! (my one haha):D

might as well turbocharge the F22 as opposed to spending money on the H22A conversion then turbo-ing it.

F22 has iron sleeves and handles the boost better on stock internals

but i guess if you've already got the H22A, just do cams and ecu

[filoaccord]

wat brand of cams and ecu to get and how much?? where in aust i can get it
and how much is to turbo a h22a including labour??

it depends. could be anywhere from $2,000 to $6,000
depending on parts, type of turbo, intercooler, where you get it done.
Lots of money is in getting a custom manifold - i was quoted about 1700 for the manifold itelf, 1500 for other piping + hybrid cooler
also your insurance will double

ill rather keep it n/a jsut want to beat few turbo cars lol
