need some help and opinions

hey guys, most of you know my accord, but unfortunatly its sohc non vtec.

im weighing up which would be a better option as to my car growing some balls.

My choices are a DOHC VTEC H22A conversion.

Or to stick with the current engine and bolt a turbo to the side of it.

My mate (who is a turbo mitsi nut) says turbo the fucker but i dunno i also have a mate hu says turbo it and get the dohc vtec engine. (His parents pay for all his shit thats why he drives a fully kitted out R34 GTT skyline at 17)

so yea just wanting your opinions on this.

cheers,

Id go Turbo.

you will be able to match the torque & power of an H22A, and will have alot more fun driving it aswel (IMO).

I think it might be over kill if you go with a H22A turbo.
so I will have to also say just turbo your lil baby now and when you get extra $$$ then splash out on the gizzmos for a H22A vtec engine.


:wink:

i say both would be a good option, but this time i think the sohc turbo would be a cool thing to see happen aye man. Let us know what you decide though and let us know how it goes.

Turbo what you have, you would oWn h22a's easily. And probably most h22a turbos because they blow up every 5 minutes. Stock H22a's aren't worth boosting IMO.

LMAO. Built H22A's are nasty..... a properly built H22A turbo would be awesome.
