you're right about that if your doing an N/A build. Turbo, now thats a whole different ballpark.

Sorry I meant tune, but I dont see how price is in effect here, if you look hard enough you can make just as much power on each motor for the same amount, its just that people want to find parts right away and dont look for the deals. On preludepower someone had an h22 and turbod it for $1500 and ran a 12.6.

avg. b series stock motor (good street power) is around 300whp. I imagine you could push the envelope more and still last for a good bit of time.

Motors can blow at 180whp.....they'll stay together at 550whp (all major internals stock). Just a matter of a good setup and a good tune.

Yeah in a prelude right? Its not just a direct swap like the b's are for the civics and integra's. Don't get me wrong the h22's are great motors,but the b's have been perfected over the years and are alot cheaper to swap.

Actually no it was in an ef, it can be done for a very low price if you know what your doing.

Thats true, but most of the people dont know how to weld and make custom adjustments, so they pay to have it done. And its almost impossible with 1500 to swap in an H and build a turbo kit, have it tuned, etc. You would have to be a god of sorts.

I dont see how its impossible if you have the motor and tranny and do EVERYTHING yourself, its possible. Ask the crx guys a homemade turbo is not that much, just search around a little bit.

:lol: i don't need to search. I am the king of homemade turbo setups :blunt: I am simply stating if your looking to go fast in a civic or integra; b's are the way to go. Cheaper, thicker stock sleeves, better trannys, and lighter.
