honda guy needs help 14b to???

[honkey2fly]

Ok so I have a honda prelude and i recently made my own turbo kit and used a 14b turbo and now I want more power so i'm looking for an alternative what turbo could I use instead of a 16g. SO basically what turbo's will work with a 1gdsm flange?

What setup are you running with this 14b turbo?

amount of boost, injector size, smic or fmic, how big of exhaust, and do you have upgraded internals?

not to underestimate your car, but a EVO 3 16g with the proper support mods, should give you some good respectable amount of power, other than that, I believe that there's not too much choice of turbos to work with the DSM exhaust manifold, but for your motor there should be alot of exhaust manifold types out there...

If you have a prelude, I woudl put a 20G on it. Your 2.2 is large enough to spool it fast with really good results.

If your still running an FMU on the car keep it. Put in som 390cc or 440cc injectors (440cc from a Talon will work you will need clips, easy to find) and get a SAFC and tune the injector so the car runs nice. On OBD2 this setup will work really well. I would not exceed 10psi on your motor until you sleeve the block because the H22 loves to scar up the walls with more than 10psi. You should be able to throw down 300whp with 10psi on your car. It will be hella fast with that setup. 10psi is ok for daily driving just do not ever go higher until you have sleeves pistons and rods or your asking for it. 300whp is a lot for a stock H22 to put down.

Your other good alternatives are a custom burnt chip www.neetronics.com is a local guy to us that does it for hondas, or a Hondata system will be a real good system for you to.

Hope that helps.

I would definately listen to Jim on this their shop does more then their fair share of Honda's.

I'm thinking a 20g would work well too. The extra displacement and Honda's well flowing heads would spool it nicely. But don't take my word for it, crunch the numbers and see if it'll work.

BTW, H22's are more prone to broken piston ring/ringlands. The cast pistons don't like detonation very much, so even a small amount would blow those rings. Trust me, I have 4 H22 piston paperweights sitting on my table. And if you wanted to run forged pistons, you'll need to sleeve the block since the cylinder material doesn't work with forged slugs. It gets pretty expensive when you want to do it the right way. But at least you'll know that it'll take whatever you throw at it. (with the appropriate fuel, of course)

BTW, the AFC Hack would work. It's not the most ideal way to go, but it'll be cheaper than going with a standalone ecu like Hondata or AEM. And 10psi is pretty much what your MAP sensor can take before throwing up a CEL. But remember that most AFC Hack tutorials are assuming a 1.6/1.8L motor, and they would say to cut everything by ~35%, but remember you have an H22...so you might not have to tune it down that much?

send the 14b to forced performance for 500$ theyll make it into a 18g or get a 16g and shit, if you have a fmic, a 16g at 20psi, will provide helluva smile on your face but probably a big frown on your motor though.
