Hey everyone, I've got a few questions. First, though, let me tell you about my somewhat newly conjured up plan. In advance, sorry for the noobiness. Gotta start somewhere..
In the beginning, since I decided I wanted to modify my car, I realized that I would have to keep it low budget. Days turned into weeks turned into months. A few hundred dollars went to a few thousand. This is a medium term goal, but I would like to gather all the parts before summer. I have been looking to buy a h22 engine and tranny for a while, like, for 6 months. I have only $1100 left now, due to some college expenses I had a week ago. I will get off track and say I am a rising senior in highschool, I'm just taking college classes for credit this summer. I have a maximum of $1500 to spend on a full engine setup, without tuning and maintenance. All along, I have planned to either save for a motor from hmotorsonline or find one locally for a lot cheaper, and piece it together. Being that I live in a hearty area of ricing, if you find an h22, it is either blown up, torn apart, or needs work. I've gotten discouraged enough to entertain the idea of turbo. Now to move on...
TL;DR - I've wanted to swap an h22 with bolt ons and call it a day, but now I'm planning to do a DSM turbo setup.
My power goals for a turbo f22 are a minimum of ~250 hp, with, hopefully, at least 220. Cost effectiveness and reliability are high up there, and I know that those goals together don't make a lot of sense, but I think it's doable, from what all I've read.
My plan is to do DSM setup, with either a 14b or 16g, more leaning toward the 16g unless I get positive feedback on the 14b.
Here's the rest of my list:
ARP Head Studs
ACL Main Bearings
Manual boost controller, if wanted
P06 ecu
DSM Blue Top 450cc injectors
Oil catch can
DSM Manifold
eBay FMIC and 2.5 in piping
Oil line, ofc
and last but not least, which I still am not sure on: engine internals.
I've been looking at what oem parts breaks down at which hp levels with certain turbos and I realize I'll have to get forged pistons if I want to hit 250 whp safely.
One thing, before I assume that $1500 is reasonable to expect all that stuff to be, I think it is. I price checked all of that, plus $600 worth of stuff to be $1100. My big question is, is this idea silly, or do you think it's doable? It may not be finished by the end of summer, which isn't a requirement, I would just like to have all the parts to start piecing them together. Also, another important question, is there a piston that I can put on a stock rod and keep compression low? I noticed the 4g63 stroker's are common, but when paried with h22 rods, because the are .010 lower than stock length. with f22 rods, the block deck goes down .061 instead of .010. Combining these 4g63 stroker pistons to the f22 rods would make the deck height 8.602... I think that's too low.. Is there another piston that is commonly mated with stock rods that can meet my goals?
