New to HP

**getm_up** · 10-05-2012 07:19 PM

hey guys. ive just bought a H22A and a Turbo Kit for my honda accord.
i was thinking while im there i might do a full rebuild with all need internals to cope with the high boost and more horse power.
is there a site/anyone where i can look and compare the difference specs of items for this engine.
some people say skunk2 is the way to go. but sometimes its not always the case.
any help or suggestions would be great

For somone 'new to HP' you've certainly jumped in the deep end by buying a H22A w/ Turbo Kit to swap into your Accord (CD5 i'm assuming?)
Honestly i don't think you'll find your answers here with any ease.
It took me 2 years to research, refine, buy and build my Turboed Accord.
And there's still plenty of things that catch me by suprise at every turn.

Unfortunately there isn't a huge amount of information on here for a Turboed H22A, or the H22A in general (Mostly because the forum is filled with K, D and B fanboys)
And probably the best place to start is talking to an Engine Builder, because ultimately whoever is putting this together for you needs to be fully up to speed on what you hope to achieve.

Ramhorn-Style Manifolds are awesome!
But you'll have a very hard time retaining your A/C compressor with one.. So you'll have to decide on that.
Or have a custom one set further to the drivers side

Just make sure you don't buy a cheap stainless steel manifold they tend to crystalise in the welds and fall apart after a while.

The guys on skylines Australia speak highly of steam pipe manifolds or cast iron manifolds. Cheap stainless steel ramhorn manifolds may look good but do you want the quality and life over it looking good?

Then all is lost.. Haha

OP, a standard H22A should achieve 215ish HP atw with no issues.
And that's more than enough power in such a light car for most people.

Just something to think about..
