Easily, this forum if full of almost any answer you have. Unless you are doing a crazy turbo build, or mixmatching millions of parts, the answer is there.

d112crzy, you were a noob one time as well. Flaming just led this thread way off topic.

The f20a is alright for boosting. Alex_EX blew his up after less then 2 years I think. Just make sure you have a good tune and ALL fluids are being delivered. As for the flange, f22/h23/f20a/f22b are all interchangeable. ECU wise, you need an obd1 teg/civ/dsol ecu and chipped. Look around at stickys and some of the guys with fully built cars and see what theyve done.

And all it took for me to stop being a retarded noob was a flaming from wikked.

I learned my lesson.

I wanted to know first if the regular H22/H23 turbo manifolds fit this engine or do the F series would fit

H22 is different. H23, F22, F20A all can use the same header or turbo manifolds.

if the ECU can be chipped easily to run a turbo.

Yes you can chip the ECU, best speak with a local ECU tuner shop about this. They will tell you their pick.

Only thing I know about this thing is that its got 10 less hp and tq than the H23 which I can live with until I get a turbo.

The torque and hp is also higher up on the rev band, but the transmission should help u keep the revs up . The F20A DOHC is great for turbocharging. The only issue might be the relatively high compression ratio at 9.5:1.

F20A DOHC ENGINE specs:
-150 hp @ 6100 RPM
-137 ft-lbs @ 5000 RPM
-Compression 9.5:1
-Bore: 85mm
-Stroke: 88mm

relatively high?

That's nothing close to high.

lol when people go with boost pistons they stay at 9.2-9.5:1

all it means is there is less room for error, but more get up and go when you are out of boost

i loved my boosted f20 back in the day

carlos said urs only blew pretty much from a spike of 18 lbs. or so. and he said you guys think it was caused by the tranny (auto). i told carlos i wanted to push only 8 lbs. but he said we can get 11 on a solid tune. just wondering what your opinion might be on this.
