Dude if you got an F22 that is perfect for a turbo application, the compression ratio is superb.. It is 8.8:1, so you could actually get up to 20 lbs of boost. If you bore and stroke that engine, your compression will change and you will lose the amount of boost that can be applied. Besides what will it cost to bore and stroke? Then you figure a good turbo set up from
www.overboost.com is gonna run you 3-5 grand. If I were you I would invest in the H22a, granted its compression ratio is 10.6:1 so its not too adequate for applying a turbo, it can be done, you could still apply about 6 lbs of boost. If you then invest in cams, cam gears, and a new pulley set-up, and a port and polish, dude you will be one of the fastest sleepers in your town. I am, I have a 97 4dr Accord, and peoples jaws drop when I finish a race.. All because of that sweet ass H22, with a few inexpensive mods. Besides when you go turbo, one you find yourself in a different class, one that most likely an F22 will get its ass kicked and two, if your street racing, everyone will know what you have because they will be able to see the intercooler. And trust me unless you got money to blow, I have never seen anyone mount just an intercooler just for looks, its a waste of money. You may as well buy the H22 and make heads turn.
