Its a JDM motor. _____________________________ 1992 Honda Accord LX 5-Speed H22 Motor Swap 1980 Corvette White with Blue Pearl Clearcoat 13.6 1/4 mile best E/T Post #: 1

Keep in mind also that if you get either a turbo or nitrous you'll have to spend extra to make it safe. What is your $$ cap and what is your goal for the car? I can lead you in the right direction, but you may want some more input on the specifics from some of the more knowledgable on the forums. (in reply to BoneStock22) Post #: 2

Status: offline The car already had a single fogger wet system on it spraying a 75 shot which resulted in a 13.6 E/T. So I know the nitrous is safe especially with my AEM fuel rail. I'm just wanting to go turbo without doing any internal modifications so I'm wondering if I should stick with the spray and be happy with the 13 second run or if its safe to go turbo and see what I can do. _____________________________ 1992 Honda Accord LX 5-Speed H22 Motor Swap 1980 Corvette White with Blue Pearl Clearcoat 13.6 1/4 mile best E/T (in reply to tom15425) Post #: 3

RE: Whats Better To Go With - 1/23/2006 10:40:22 PM    tom15425 Posts: 268 Joined: 1/5/2006 Status: offline Do you have all stock internals and are you still running stock spark plugs and spark plug wires? I'm thinking if you try to run turbo and a nitrous you'll want to change those out if you haven't. It's good you have wet though if your thinking of a turbo. As far as internals go, I've been told it's a good idea to work on them if you get any kind of forced induction but, depending on how much boost you want it may or may not be necissary. Sorry I'm not more help. < Message edited by tom15425 -- 1/23/2006 10:43:20 PM > (in reply to BoneStock22) Post #: 4

You'll want to upgrade that ish if your planning on boosting in the double-digits. Nitrous is cheaper, but I like turbo #'s better. 13-seconds is something most people can be happy with. _____________________________ The car is looking for a turbine...

I've always played around with Dodge Neons and I wanted something different. We did our homework on my friends Neon and got his running street legal 550 wheel horsepower and a 9 second 1/4 mile pass. So I want to do my homework on this one so we can have a bad ass honda. I would definetly be happy with 309 wheel horses. _____________________________ 1992 Honda Accord LX 5-Speed H22 Motor Swap 1980 Corvette White with Blue Pearl Clearcoat 13.6 1/4 mile best E/T (in reply to lightshow) Post #: 8
