well, you aint going to get torque with a h22...have you considered the h23 or jdm f22b? there isnt any additional wiring since you can disable the knock sensor with a chipped ecu. and i highly doubt you'll be able to afford a hondata S300. that shit is the price of a h22.

I've looked around and really can't get anything clear, that's why i kinda turned here.

rebuild the f22, get forge everything, and go turbo.... F22 has low compression so its really good for turbo. if money is not an issue maybe a k24? with ITB's?? lol maybe too much but yea turbo the f

Thanks for the help, i'll probably turbo the f22, i talked to a guy met not to long ago who builds and races hondas. He said the h22 is good for the long run, powerful but better for long run and hard to turbo due to already high compression, and that to just build on the f22 would be easier and probably better for the type of racing i am looking at. That sound about right?

If you wanted a race car you have the wrong car. the CB7 can become a daily driver that handles like a dream and has enough pep for the streets.

Get a H22, do some bolt ons and leave it be, or throw a stage 2 cam on your F22, with all your other mods (h23 manifold, header, tune!) and you should be good in the power department

Get a full poly bushing kit, replace all your balljoints, either go with the Cup Kit which has the best handling, or some Function and Form's paired with some grippy tires and a larger Progress rear sway you will have an amazing suspension.

Turbo is great and all, but with turbo can you jump in your car and do a 300+ mile road trip with out worrying? Im sure few can.

Yea, if you're looking for torque, it'd be a good idea to turbo the f22. kelton's 100% correct though. You could get a turbo kit, and get tuned for the price of dropping an h22 the RIGHT way. Buying, replacing parts before the install, then installing. And also, you wanting torque, you'd want to upgrade to the h22 tranny also, since the gears are shorter.

c91 has a point too. I've been really focused on these f22 upgrades. There's kids on the forum runnin' wheel horsepower you could get out of an h22, with their f22's. Nice cam, cam gear, intake, exhaust, tune, etc. There's a guy that got 18whp out of a delta 272 cam after a tune, which is what made me wanna mod the f22.

[IrishxRed]

So basically i could modify the f22 for the same price of dropping in an h22? Using parts from h22 and other aftermarket companies, etc. What all would i need to do that then?

Turbo? (brand)
h22 tranny?
intake?
headers?
cam?
timing?
ignition system?

[kelton]

if your going turbo you dont use a intake or header.

If you do plan on turbo do your research and see whats best for what you want. Everyone has a different opinion. You could do a dsm turbo setup for fairly cheap but thats something you could look into.

[wed3k]

i would even hold off on the H22 tranny, you'd be shifting gears so fast you wouldnt even let the turbo spool.

So basically, you want a fast street car.

Circuit racing has specific guidelines. A CB7 with a swap will be a weak contender, since that will put it into a VERY competitive class, with much lighter cars.

Drag racing is limited, because you're FWD. Again, anything competitiive will have cars weight 500lbs less... which is significant.

AutoX... you have a shot there... but the CB7 is hardly ideal. This is probably your most competitve arena.

Street... don't race on the street. If you do., you deserve to lose your car AND your license.
