Welcome to HS, I like your car a lot. When you feel like it, list your mods

[ebpda9]

i regognize that car from ph and han. what was ur member name there ?

Welcome to HS

yeah, i've been around to alot of boards. on PH i was Viper7_13. and on every other board i am Pimp88Accord

Levoc Ghost Shifter
Levoc Pedals
Matrix Ultra White Fogs (purple)
KYB GR-2 struts
Sprint Springs (2.25")
Naxos JDM style Platinum-R3
Custom 2.25" CatBack
92-95 Civic Intake
K&N Breather Filter

soon to come:
h22a
custom turbo setup
rims
coilovers
custom interior
custom fit ground fx

[94_AcCoRd_EX]

Sounds great. BTW, if you are going turbo, I highly recommend putting in an H23 engine. You'll save money and it will be a stronger setup due to the lower compression.

whats the difference in size between an h22 and an h23? cause the h22 already requires heavy modification to get it to fit.

[94_AcCoRd_EX]

I believe they are the same size. They both drop right into a 4th gen+ I believe.

well, i got a 3rd gen, and if the h23 is bigger at all than the h22, then i dont think it would fit. since the h22 already needs extensive customization of the engine bay

[ebpda9]

oh yeah a 3rd gen will either have a A20a1 or 3 or B20a1 or 3. Which one do u have ?

h22 and h23 is are exactly the same except for a difference in stoke from the crankshaft and head. the f22 will fit because it was used on prelude s' i think.

Engine | Displacement | Power | Torque |Compresion ratio
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
H23A1 | 2259cc | 160@5800|156@4500| 9.8:1
H22A1 | 2156cc | 190@6800|158@5300| 10.0:1

the h22 was introduced in 1993

[Accord Man]

WOW a 3G with a h22..

I must say, I hadnt imagined it in my wildest dreams!!

It'll be sweet.. A real sleeper!

[ebpda9]

Yeah, I remember that. It was pretty sweet though.

[Accord Man]

Beauty and power dont come cheap..

Oh well..

i got an efi (A20A3)

and i plan to put around 15k into my car

well, actually, i'll probably try to shoot for 10k but i dont know.

it would include h22/h23, custom turbo setup (around 20 psi), 5spd swap, custom fit ground fx, paintjob, and probably some true coilovers, and probably a few other minor things

[ebpda9]

engine and tranny $2300 (h22) from www.jdm1.com/main.html
true coilovers $1300 from www.summitracing.com

so for a total of 3600 you get the engine and the coilovers. Don't know about the engine installation.

Prolly you are looking at 1500 tops for the ground effects so it will put you in the $ 5k and the paint will be less than 1k. dunno just adding up.

[Accord Man]

Healthy budget you got there Pimp88Accord!!

here are some relative CDN prices.....

H23 w/tranny and axles - 2000
H22 w/tranny and axles - 2500
install ~900

True Coilovers- i cant remember which ones they were... but they were 1500 and they wernet crappy kinds... but then are their really crappy true coilovers?!?!

Kits range from 600 (fibreglass) - 3000 (urathane brand name)

Paint all depends on what kind of finish and what you want.... typically tho.. for a show quality finish which includes buffing and the whole nine.... its ~3000... but the look ends up being a whole lot nicer than regular paint jobs....
if you want just a regular paint job... a 4 door will do you for around 1500..

so really if you had 6000 CDN... you can go a long way here...

sorry, i havent been on in a while. but, what about the custom turbo setup??
and the 5spd manual swap?

[ebpda9]

actualluy the tranny will come with the engine. Custom turbo ? the price really depends. Check the turbo forum here.
