Anyone know :

1)where to buy good second hand h22a engines in Brisbane if not in Australia?
2)are the accord products like the cams and coil over on www.vpwmailorder.com.au good products? they just seem a bit cheap for parts.
3)anyone here have a h22a engine in there 94-96 accord with turbo?
4)h22a swap or turbo the f22b engine?

Hope some of my questions can be answered :p Cheers

ive many a times thought about whether to turbo my f22b1 or swap a h22a into it.
from reading and asking on american forums, they all seem to come to the agreement that its probably better to swap h22a, and boost that as it has lots more potential.
but i dont think ill beable to afford a swap and boost.
i'd like to hear wat some ppl from here have to say on this aswell.

OK, the ractive coilovers dont fit accords safely...i tried them already. So yeh dont waste your money :D

OBX is responsible for some nasty gear

Whether you want a H22A or turbo the F22 is a personal choice...the H22A will be cheaper, the turbo F22 should make more power. I'm going turbo F22. However if you go turbo, do a LOT of research first

B|ade has a turbo F22a

Cheers :)

EDIT: I dont agree with that logic. A h22a swapped in and turbo will make marginally more power than a straight F22b1 turbo, and would be about 5k more. For 5k you could build the F22b1 and have a crapload more power than h22a turbo unbuilt

yeh i dont plan on taking shortcuts if i eventually do a swap or boost it.
of course this is future plans, as im still young and stupid :P. once i get a stable source of $$ it'll come :D

And does anyone know if Blade turbo for the f22b a turbo kit or custom setup and if possible anyone know how much would it cost for a simular set up?

Nah man, i didnt wanna risk driving on them. The way they sat on the spring perch there was a good chance they would shatter. So i never drove on them, and returned them.

Blade has an F22A, i'm piecing a conversion for an F22B and it'll cost me 8-8.5k all up

And say if i do get a h22a engine into a 94 honda accord, with like those off the shelf extractors from obx and dc sports. Would extractors for the prelude fit perfectly into my 94 accord with a h22a??

Thanx again in advance

That i'm not too sure about. To be honest i would probably look at getting a set of tuned length extractors made by an exhaust place instead, as then you know they will fit properly.

Some exhaust places should still know how to do this i hope! :)
