turbo?
 

im pretty sure i have asked before, but i have a 94 accord ex, F22B1, with 176,XXX miles on it, would it be ok to boost it, or should i just get a new engine and boost it, i really dont want to get the H22, its too common.

Can't tell you 'cause I can't see the engine from here.

94 with 30,000 miles, burning oil, compression anywhere between 3 & 60 psi, then NO. Don't boost.

94 with 300,000 miles, good compression, not using oil, clean inside, then go ahead.
(it's not about the miles)

its a good running engine, it doesnt burn oil, and it was just worked on, new seals, and gaskets, so i guess there shouldn't be a problem

thanks

first of all, i think you should have posted this on the turbo section.
Second, if the engine is ok, then there should be no problem w/ boosting. my car was @ 120k when i boosted it. i would recommend to do a compression test first and find prices on turbo's and get to know you car and the turbo system setup pretty darn well. then go ahead and get to it. does it have a MT or an AT?

Good idea, I'll move it over there. (Glad I thought of that... ;-)

yeah, i should have posted it there, but it is a A/T, and its a vtec.

have you done a compression test yet?
EDIT: how's the tranny fluid?

sup people,

im having a problem with my Mass Air Flow sensor. it trip the check engine light evry once and a while. i was tunnel blasting and at around 130mph it came on. is there a MAF thats tuned for a turbo charged f22b1

^ you need to start your own thread instead of hijacking this one

get a missing link....

moving on to the real thread...

any news on the oil leak?

compression is good, but now the rear seal pushed out, so it is leaking really bad, so i have to put a hold on the turbo, and drop it off at honda.

idk dude..sounds like that engine might be goin out. fixing seals and compression is getting into the price of a lightly used H22 WITH forged pistons. So think much before dumping money into a 15 year old engine. I'm not saying it isn't worth it. All I'm saying is weigh the options. hastle free for a little more? Or constant tweaking and tuning to save a bit of cash?

Which is most important? Reliability or Cost?

yeah, i am just going to get the H22, because the transmission is starting to slip, and i found a JDM H22 package, with engine, transmission, axles, and harness for 2K.

then go for it... 2k is a good price for that package

:D lol

Where did you see this JDM H22 Package for 2k? 4th or 5th generation? The 5th generation JDM h23a doesn't look so bad either.
