Re:intercooled 8psi or h22a motorswap?
I have a d16z6 with a TD04H and a tryrus intercooler. The problem is that I deliver for a living. A turbo is crucial for launching into openings ahead and merging, but the heat causes my car to, well, overheat and that makes me sad

You could buy the H22 now and buy the turbo later. That way you will have the best of both worlds later on.

H22!!!!!! 13 seconds all day long dont have to worry about ur rich/lean ---- and having setup perfect. and also u can build that **** up later on. also the h22 has some mean torque man. i highly doubt u can get tht kind of torque with 8psi on a d16. i dunno tho.but overall h22 is the ---- with the reliabilty

what u need an h22 for? I would get standalone and a better turbo. youll smoke an h22 swapped car. I saw a civic hatch,
with a ex motor standalone, and tuned run a 13.0 so screw the swap. jmho

Re:intercooled 8psi or h22a motorswap?
Did someone say 13's all day long with an h22? ---- I wish that was the case. I dont see how your going to get 13 sec passes on a 200hp engine. Whats that, like 160-70 to the wheels? Never seen a stock prelude do a 13sec pass. Sounds like you already have your turbo on so why dont you just fix the overheating problem with a better radiator or water injection? If your overheating I think autozone sells some kick *** radiator fluid you might want to try too.
