Hey y'all Well I know I'm a newbie and all, but I'm gettun hooked and instead of just a turbo I decided to swap know is there a diff between the accord R jdm h22a and the prelude h22a jdm??? I'm gettin a 5spd tranny with it so no auto for me........ Also wut should I do to the engine before I put it in ?? new cam and or gears , forged pistons???? cuz I'm puttin a turbo on it , soon after the swap so I want to make sure the engine can take wut I'm doin to it, i.e. don't want to have to keep the psi down to far and be limited??

hmm good luck finding an engine for your car. it has to be newer than 99 to be legal

I've found several engines 99 and newer on the web.. avg price is 2500- 4000

The Euro-Spec Type-R Accord puts out 220hp, compared to the JDM H22a which puts out 200 (I believe, figures are just off the top of my head). I don't understand why you don't get a turbo kit though. You'll find more power and more tuning options with a turbo then running all motor. Which engine do you have now (the VTEC or non-VTEC F23?)
DRAG does make a turbo kit for our years, with a 85 - 100hp gain. That puts you well over 220hp that the JDM engines make...

I have the vtec right now ...puts out 150 at the motor, as for the turbo- I plan on getting one ... if i get the accord type r and bolt on an fmax kit i might be able to get 325- 350 according to the specs , vs. 230 with my motor and a turbo..... yes it'll cost more , but why settle????

OK then, now you're talking. I thought that you were doing JUST the motor swap, and it's like "How fast does he expect to be?" Good luck w/ it..
