Re: H22A V.S LS/VTEC Please help.

I'd also like to say that you should lower the compression in either of these engines if you're planning on boosting it. Just do some sleeves, pistons, rods, maybe a thicker head gasket, and I'd think you'd be fine. I know a guy who turbo'd his LS/vtec; it ran great for a while until he set the psi to 12 or so (could have been a little higher) and boom blew out his pistons i believe. So definently do some motor work before you turbo. But with the h22, there's no way they can get your car to have the turning ability of other cars. You're still going to get a workout with pulling that steering wheel when turning, it is a beeitch. My buddy's got a 95 civic 4dr that he just put a turbo onto his h22 (running 10-12 psi); unfortunately it's still being tuned this week but should know soon how it turned out. But unless you just care about ¼ mile times; go with the B.
