Can my stock accord handle a turbo???
Hi, Chris here, I just got a 1992 Honda Accord LX (engine F22A1 2.2 L) and I am thinking of installing a turbo kit, most likely used cuz i'm on a budget. Now, every one says turbos are great, and i agree, but alot of people are telling me i have to rebuild my engine in order to install one. Engine rebuilds, unless u do it yur self, are an expensive and time consuming hassle, but is it really the only way to go about if I want to put a turbo on my car? I mean, theres gotta be something i can do that will allow me to install my turbo without draining my time and money on an engine rebuild!!! help me out guys!!!!
P.S. I dont plan on turning my car into a dragster, I just want a bit of boost! Are there turbo kits that will not destroy my stock engine, but still give some snort to my car? Thanx, Chris.

You can put a bit of boost through that engine (heheh not 25+ psi though ) hehe thats what i did, i have a whole turbo kit forsale if you want it. you dont need to rebuild ur engine, most people here didint rebuild their ----. just got to make sure that you have the proper fuel management.

You wouldn't really need to build up the engine unless you were going over 12psi. For a daily driver i would do 8-10 and prolly 10-12 AT THE TRACK just make sure in either even you have GOOD fuel mangagement. The F series blocks can hold a good amount of boost due to the beautiful 8.8:1 C/R. If you want to go turbo, make sure you do a compression/leakdown test to make sure everything is running good with no leaks and whatnot. Happy boosting.
