[97accordvtec]

ok so this is whats going on my friend just got a new 2001 lude type sh
well i want to beat it with my accord ex with intake headers straight pipedhigh flow cat.

if you were me what would you do to a f22 to make it faster

(take note my friends lude is bone stock oh and its automatic)

[SiGNAL748]

Turbo.

[97accordvtec]

hmmm turbo ?
then i have to buy lowering compresion rods and all those stuff's to get the turbo dropped in? am i right? because i just heard this from people

and one thing if you buy the turbo kits does that mean that if you have it you can just drop it in the car? or do you have to beef up the engine 1st
thankssss

Well u can drop a turbo in a stock motor but you really can't boost as much. Fuel upgrade makes the motor a lil safer on 7psi. My friend has a turbo prelude sh and his motor is stock. Hes been running fine for a year now.

[97accordvtec]

fuel upgrade meaning? better fuel injectors? or something else
what does he mean by fuel upgrade?

[97accordvtec]

so if i buy a turbo kit lets say 10lbs of boost will that be ok for my f22 engine?

[mellowboy]

Fuel upgrade meaning: bigger injectors, fuel rail, fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator. 10 psi on a stock motor is just pushing it. Its not safe. If you got the funds , rebuild the motor.

[97accordvtec]

why rebuild the motor? i got an average motor with 64k miles somewhat a good nuber on a 97 accord

[97accordvtec]

so the safe limits on a stock engine is about 5 to 7 lbs of boost?

[97accordvtec]

oh and again

can a 5-7 lbs of boost beat a stock automotic 2001 lude?

[mellowboy]

Yes 5-7 can beat a auto lude. The reason i said rebuild it is because so your motor is much more safer and more power. Also tuning is very important.

[89HatchSiET]

it all depends on how much money you have. If you want a lot of power, you could turbo it. You couldn't run a lot of boost w/out building the motor, so it wouldn't be too much faster, and by the time you spend a lot of money re-building your F22, you could probably just buy an H22, and that would be more reliable then a turbo

[97accordvtec]

so for a 10- 15 boost on a f22 i have to upgrade the fuel rail fuel pump and all those stuff

my question is can a f33 take an extra 10-15 lbs of boost? is it safe for daily driving?? if not which is the best modification for my f22 vtec with out engine swap and engine rebuilding??

[mellowboy]

I'd just say turbo man. Rebuild the damn thing and you'll be set.

does any one have a link regarding motor rebuild
