#213242 what would be better is if you bought a f22 bottom end as it is i want to say steel/iron sleeves good for boost build it with a h22 head (i think thats possible idk much about h series) and for the turbo kit yea you would need to get a different downpip i think unless the header your using is off an accord / prelude then i guess itd work if you got that tooo......

but i think you should peice something together dont geta whole kit tailoring to a prelude as some peices like i think the intercooler pipeing will be different

If you want to boost I would recommend getting the F22B Block, and Put a H22A Head on it. I have heard some people recommend using the timing belt tensioner from the H23. Using the H22A Oilpump and Waterpump would be a good idea so you dont cultivate under high rpm.

The F22b block has iron sleeves. The H22A Blocks have Fiber Reinforce sleeves(or something like that) They are not as strong as the F22B Block. On the F22b i have heard its as easy as dropping the h22a head on the f22b block and using an h22 timing belt.

For a Turbo kit, you can get a Kit made for a Prelude then modify it to fit in your civic. If you part together a kit. you can get a kit minus manifold made for a B Series and get a H/F Series Manifold.

#283215 I'm currently working on an h22a swap, and I was told that it was possible however you should not exceed 7lbs. I took the advise very lightly. If I decided to boost an h22a, will a T3 T4 work? Thoughts, please....
