NA or Boost?

[blackedout]

Alright guys so heres the deal.. My ticker has 267,000 on the ODO so i know a new heart is soon. Here's my question tho.. Which do you guys prefer? and what has a better reliability.. Now don't get me wrong i know when you start throwing power at a motor reliability definitely drops a bit. now here's what im getting too..
I was thinking one of two routes..
Either get an H22A and build it up a tad for motor or get an H23 and boost it something like 10psi or so.. So i guess here's the next thing.. The only reason im skeptical about the swap is i would like to do it myself and save the cash but i would like it to have some kind of reliability and if i do it well im not guaranteeing myself if you know what i mean. whereas an H23 i know that swap is easy, my fear is the wiring for the H22A.. so help me out guys i know this swap will be soon

Whats your power goal. If u know what kind of power u would like. Then go from there. Both a turbo and a N/a can be reliable, if done right and not cutting corners.

Why do people always assume having lots of miles means the "ticker" is going to go?

well im not assuming im just getting a headstart.. i take it back to the Honda dealership everytime to get serviced and get checked up.. but i want to have another motor ready when this one goes.. or atleast have the cash and know what i wan to do..

if you can do an h23 swap, you can do an h22 swap.

if you can do an h23 swap, you can do an h22 swap.

i know i can but like i said the vtec wiring kills me

It's 2-3 wires through the firewall. That's it. Really.

well its will be easer to use a turbo to get to 250whp. ITs going to take a lot of engine work to get that with a N/a and still make it streetable.

yea itll be tough to get 250whp out of an NA build.....but you could get 250 out of a pretty much stock F22 and boost

yea but it costs more to rebuild my f22 than it does for an h23

[zigg_1311]

boost your f22 and if it blows, swap the h23 and swap your turbo parts from your previous f22

lol good advice! yea im still debating i may get it rebuilt we will see

[drummersteve7]

turbo h23!!

I say turbo H23 all the way. Once ya hit 250 hp man you want more!!!
If you build an h23 you can do more than 10 lbs and get way more than 250.
Hell that is whatg the F22 gets around! SO thats my advice H23 and BOOST!
