you're in the allmotor subforum... you're asking about a turbo, which should be asked in the forced induction subforum, found here

turboing an NA engine is a real bad idea. id stay right away from the whole idea. ALso your DA is already front heavy with that massive 2.2L of displacement, a turbo will just upset the balance even more. How do u think u are going to go round a race track with a car like that!

cheapest way is just to change ur head gasket and put a gt28 runing on stock boost.
u gona get around 50 kw at wheels more :)

first off, that's not the cheapest way


second off(and far more importantly), changing the headgasket to lower the compression is not only unneccessary, but also a bad thing to do for all the fun it does with messing up quench areas and such



as for what do I think about turboing a 2.2l motor... go for it... after spending TONS of time researching every aspect of it to the point where you don't have to ask questions like this. If you have to wonder how any aspect of the system works or how they work together, you shouldn't be turboing your motor.

i assume you mean your getting a h22 in your integra?
That's already alot of power to handle.
If you turbo it you gonna have alot of trouble getting power to the ground.
Just rem its only FWD stupid amounts of power rarely give good times or drivablility, you need full-time slicks generally.

And boy that car will be torquey

Also depends if you want it for dragging or to drive normally.

If you have enough $$$ its all doable...
