Hey,
Well I figured you guys would be the best to ask these questions to, because your all so nice :P In regards to sleeving a block and turbo'ing I am a newbie. I have all these questions floating around now...
My knowledge would be average. I've changed my own oil, shocks, stereo gear, tires, CV joints, and the usual small items.
I've swapped a H22A into my accord and did most of the work; months of research, bought a 'how to' for swapping H22s, read for a good month on what needed to be done (wiring, manual timing belt tensioner fix, external distributor hookup, etc). I helped put the motor in, wire things up (extra wires for the swap (knock senseor, etc), etc, etc. I had a mechanic do other items that required air tools, and some wiring issues I had for VTEC timing, etc.
Now I am going to turbo a H22A block and I have a lot of reading to do. I already have Eagle Rods, and I picked up a block the other day. Its just a bare block with the water pump, oil filter, and crank. I am going to sleeve this, pistons, etc, etc. But first... some questions:
1- http://www.axidworks.com/Mahle%20Pow...0Pistons%20H22
They have Mahle Power Pack 11.5 Comp Pistons out now with the skirt coating on the side of them. What's are the advantages and disadvantages of these? I'm guessing that they are good but will not perform or reach a higher HP as a sleeved block?
2- What's the difference between a Stage 1, 2, 3 H22 Camshafts I'm seeing around and how do I know which ones will best suite my setup?
3- The block is not new but is in good shape; but dirty. Grease, grime, etc. Can anyone recommend the best way to get this puppy to shine?
4- What are some other general checks and things I should do to this block while its out. (the manual tensioner should be done for example, and I should take the water pump off and check it yet I'm not sure what to check for yet (I'm sure it has seals, etc))
I know its going to take a long time and I'm ok with that. I have more questions but I think I'm going to start with this. I'm sure the questions will get more technical as we go on.
Many thanks in advance to anyone willing to share their knowledge, links, and resources to help me out!
