a guy on craigs is selling a h23/h22 frankenstein he used for his turboed cd5, the compression is down to 9:1, how much will that effect hp if im running n/a?

 

Its hard to give you an exact figure, especially with the lack of details such as what block, what pistons, what head etc.

I personally would be leery buying someone else's put together, esp knowing its been boosted. And I'm guessing its already out of the car so you can't see it run.

 

**CD5 ACCORD*h22/h23 *TURBO*!!

 

It seems like it was done right, but its hard to say. Without a turbo I would guess less than 200hp, but its really hard to say.

I will just say most people don't part out working cars.

 

hmm, thats a good point, i mean i want to run boost, and buying an engine thats built for it already just seems so tempting lol. i guess it'd be better to just do it myself to make sure its done right?

 

Well its not a huge investment if something is wrong, because if I'm reading it correctly just the engine is $550, which is less than an h22 itself costs. So maybe its worth a shot, but I would still give it a thorough look over and compression test it before buying.

To build an engine like that, not including the cost of the engine, you are easily looking at over $2000 just in parts and machining, then paying someone to put it together if you weren't planning on doing it yourself.

 

yeah i already talked to him, and its 500 now, thats what attracted me to it. like i know until i get a turbo it'll be lacking a little compared to stock h22, but i definetly plan to boost, and since this one has everything done already i almost jumped at it lol.
