Turboing stock H22a
what’s going on guys, i was just wondering if some of y’all could help me put together a parts list and a good route to take cause i want to move forward with a turbo, i have a 99 prelude with an h22a and i’m thinking maybe 8-10lbs would be good with a stock motor, i’m curretly rebuilding it with new seals but plan on buying turbo parts soon, i was hoping to make like 320-350 whp if that’s reasonable, but i would like to keep AC, don’t care for PowerSteering though
ppreciate the help guys |

Re: Turboing stock H22a
doesn't matter how much boost you run the weak ringlands will give out or youll end up with a spun bearing

Re: Turboing stock H22a
damn it’s like that, i don’t really mind blowing the motor cause i have a spare but what if i use those mahle drop in pistons and replace the pistons rings?

Re: Turboing stock H22a
its a gamble. either you get lucky or blow it up. I have a friend that went with the mahle pistons and his lasted about a year. if you don't really get on the pedal youll have a better chance but what fun is that lol. keep an eye out for anyone selling a sleeved block. that will save you a lot of money.

Re: Turboing stock H22a
ya i am but i don't have a lude anymore. join the florida prelude page on FB. one of the guys down here has a lude with a setup that is making about 350 whp on a stock h23a
you need a tubular style manifold ram horn, top or bottom mount. no log style manifolds. also 3 inch exhaust

Re: Turboing stock H22a
i think lovefab makes a manifold that's equal length that keeps ac but im not even sure if they are still making anything for h22's. also don't listen to soflakid he drives a Miata.

Re: Turboing stock H22a
actually **** allat, i want to take my spare motor and rebuild it H2b with turbo, it seems like buying a new sleeved block would be around the same as shipping mine out to get sleeved, you still think it would be bad to go turbo with stock motor, and yeah i know ppl recommend to just build it fully while it’s out the car but that’s hella money and with buying the h2b kit and a tranny that’s already a lot... so whatchu think? i would like to keep ac with my lude cause it’s my daily and it seems like a pain to build it already in the car

Re: Turboing stock H22a
i seen people selling sleeved blocks and already built bottom ends sell for less than actually having it shipped out milled and sleeved. since you have a backup motor you can boost the stock one with a good tune but its a gamble how long itll last. i had ringlands give out on a motor that wasn't even boosted so who really knows with these h22s. and you definitely need ac in florida fok that

Re: Turboing stock H22a
alright so just sleeve it or buy a sleeved block, forged pistons and rods, is head work really necessary when boosting? and if so what’s the best route?

Re: Turboing stock H22a
I don't know enough to advise on that, maybe someone else can pitch in.

Re: Turboing stock H22a
having a built bottom end is enough unless youre doing a crazy +800whp build or something. ive seen built and assembled blocks selling for like $1,800.

Re: Turboing stock H22a
Join Florida Preludes and Florida Prelude parts on Facebook. I saw a sleeved block going for around 800 but needed to be rebuilt a few weeks ago. Blake aka 850 fab (in FL) is currently making AC/PS compatible manifolds for H22s and hes been in the prelude game for years.
H2B for preludes really isn't possible. Its not the same as doing it in a civic. KS made a Prelude H2B kit but it didn't really sell many and I don't believe they currently make it anymore. Your best bet is a T2W4 transmission imo I wouldn't sleeve a H22 for just 350 whp. If your engine has good compression buy quality parts and get a great tune and it should be ok. Yes it could blow up but I would be more worried about tearing up clutches with double the torque. Buying a low mile h23a > sleeving engine for 350. or just buy an S2000 fam
