How much does it cost to pump up an H22 to 400whp?

Around $5k in parts to do right,on top of the motor swap (good turbo setup not a made in china ebay special, forged internals, fuel system and electronics to control it) if you DIY.

Budget $10k total for often forgotten things like tires and suspension mods, gauges and tuning tools, dyno time, custom pipe fabbing, clutch, grenaded transmission, etc)

Cheaper to buy a car already modded. You can find correctly done and running turbo hatches with 300-400 hp going for $6k give or take for complete running car with engine swap and turbo.

Much cheaper on something like a MR2 where you are just upgrading parts that are already there, vs converting a n/a engine and supplying a laundry list if new parts.

Of course on a budget you can always run a $900 ebay turbo kit or nitrous on a stock high compression motor (or use a thicker head gasket as a cheap but improper way to lower compression) and roll the dice every time you get on it :awe:

An off switch? 😕

Battery kill switch. Like 15" steelies, it's one of those things nobody wants on their car because it makes it look cool or run faster, but because it has to be there for a reason (ie its at the track often, in a certain class, required for the power, or whatever)

yeah, those civics can actually get pretty fast pretty cheap with a k swap. If the car is actually fast, it's not going to have a huge wing and pepboys porthole stickers.

It's just a damn shame what ricers have done to Honda.

S2ks making 700whp on stock bottom end just show how good the VTECCCCCCCCCCCCC motors are/can be, especially when boosted

S2K is S2K specific F series not K 😉

And once you pass about 400 whp on a 4 cyl it gets expensive and quirky fast.

Good motors, but 700 whp on one of those stock is a matter of when not if. A lab project in a speed shop hopped up on a gallon of exotic fuel only has to last long enough to make a record dyno run or track pass...its like breaking a record overclock on liquid nitrogen...yeah but can you play any games on it without locking up?

700 whp is ALOT for a 2 liter motor, much less with an aluminum block with pressed liners. Nor is it cheap. You can slap a 100mm turbo on just about a stock anything and have a blast making a million horsepower, that's not the point :awe:

 

[punjabiplaya]

but to run 12s in an EG? 300 whp is all you need without driver mod. Just need some good rubber up front. 700 is to kill 600+ cc bikes
