5th gen f22

[trentd]

There is a lot to consider if going turbo.
and there could be a lot to spend. if you want a basic job done with brand new parts i think you would be looking at spending about $6k minimum.
Going NA to turbo is always a challange and there certain things you have to take into consideration.
for example as well as colder spark plugs and different injectors you also need to supply oil to the turbo and have the oil go back into the sump (oil in/return).
If the turbo is also water cooled it needs water as well.
Manifold.
Either a remap of the stock ecu, piggy back or brand new stand alone.
and there is much more.

I did spend a lot of money doing my turbo set up, but i think it was worth it, i love everything about it and i love the feeling of boost.
its different and people don't expect it at all!
so in my opinion its all worth it.

If the decision to go turbo is confirmed and you decide to save the money and do it then don't worry about mods such as extractors and exhaust for the time being because you won't need the extractors and you will prob need a bigger exhaust for turbo either way.

In conclusion if you wanna go turbo then a good way to approach it would be;
- Start with a basic turbo kit you can find for decent dollar.
- upgrade from there.

Make the car turbo first and then go for supporting mods. and there is a lot of supporting mods for a turbo set up. example being bigger exhaust, intercooler,etc.


I hope this helped, if it did would be appreciated to get some good rep out of tis

personally id go turbo,

engine can handle it better than the H series, either way your looking at some extensive work

reasons for H series:
VTEC YO!
decent after market support
it is a great engine
reliable if installed right
wont have to crap your dacks when an officer goes open the bonnet please!....as much

reasons for turbo F
pretty strong internals
could see some nice power while retaining reliability
not as common

but seriously it will be easier to find a lude with a 22 in it and buy it. rather than go through the swap

I would personally just sell the si and buy a vtir. reason being it will prob end up costing you less than doing mods to an si. I went through all this before i bought my prelude.

btw i am selling my turbo kit if anyone is interested, just visit my thread in my signature.

Save the exhaust for when your pushing more power but i recommend:
- cold air intake or pod filter at least.
- If manual, better clutch and flywheel(lightened)
- Ignition timing alter.
- better spark plugs.
- just running 98 octane.
- Better fuel filter.
- Good oil, Motul?

Thats some cheap stuff you can do to get a bit more go!

Spark plugs will net you nothing noticeable in the slightest.
Better oil, fuel filter and clutch wont either.

98 fuel is a complete waste of money also, seeing as 98 has no extra energy and the F22 CAN NOT use the extra detonation resistance!

The ignition timing altering isnt cheap either seeing as you have to get a standalone ecu and get it tuned. Its an OBDII car after all.

I dont know about the F22 specifically but the H22 responds quite poorly to intakes as well. Netting you a ridiculous 1 kW over stock for the AEM V2 (the best tested). You will get a louder sound though.
