RE: Turbo bought - 4/7/2006 9:52:33 PM    marbro Posts: 1478 Joined: 1/16/2006 Status: offline yeah, two main reasons why turbos are better for f series engines, first f engines have basically a 1 to 1 hp to ft lbs torque ratio and that transfers over when you run boost, to get that on an h series you have either change the crank, and or change the rods and pistons which brings me to number two, the h22 mentioned for swapping has no less then a 10:1 compression ratio which means you have to run less boost otherwise you will brow the engine, so if you want to run a lot of boost you have to change the pistons, and if you change the pistons you might as well change the rods as well, oh..... theres a third thing...... if you want you can run a lot of boost on the f series engine...... why? cause if you blow it they are cheaper then the h series lol actually had a friend recommend that to me but i want an engine thats strong and wont blow up on me lol (in reply to sir_nasty) Post #: 19

If it's normal height you should be fine. I don't think civic's have that flex pipe on the down pipe like accords do. I believe you need that because of the length. (in reply to marbro) Post #: 20

I had some dude in a fixed up lancer (not an EVO, though) stop next to me after trying to race me and asked what motor I had in my car. Haha these f's are great! Good luck with the turbo project, marbro. Sounds like you're well on your way to having a real life turbo honda. (in reply to lightshow) Post #: 22
