Re:to sleeper or not to sleeper
Going off subject now, but H22 weights like ~35lbs more than the B-series... Not that much weight but if you autocross them peeps says it does... <SHRUG> I dont auto-x so I wouldnt know... I guess it has something to do with the distribution of weight (but now flames are coming out of my @$$)... so I dunno
Good call sol... Keep outside stock and dont try to hide your engine bay--no point! =)

Re:to sleeper or not to sleeper
i like the sleeper look from the outside but when i pop the hood i still want to show off that turbo and blowoff valve! also most people notice the intercooler first so you can just paint it black. its not like there not gonna know! i mean a big pppsshhh noise means you got something 
dont worry about under the hood. make it look good under there and if you just dont want to show it off say the hood latch is broken and you cant open it

If you're doing this entirely for attention, then you're no better than the common rice boy slash attention -----.
I get all the attention I need on the drag strip, when doing mad launches and runs nobody expects from a 4x4 with a 1.6L engine...

Re:to sleeper or not to sleeper
I'd say go for the sleeper. I went this route for a little until everyone and their mother knew it was turboed. You really don't expect an 86 crx to be turbo. I have a completely stock looking exhaust that is really quiet, no stickers, etc. just a greddy type S BOV and a quick spooling T25 that gives it away.
I am blasting my BOV in this kid's ear and he keeps on asking is I have NAWS....moron

The sleeper effect is mainly the outside of the car being stock and trying not to draw attention to your car being fast. Sitting there with you hood opened kinda ruins this effect.
And besides I could point out a turbo in 2 seconds no matter how hard you tried to hide it so just the attempt would make you look stupid.

Re:to sleeper or not to sleeper
whats it matter if you have a sleeper or not? If you have a honda people are still going to see a honda no matter how much you have under the hood. Do what you want to make it look nice and dont worry about it. Besides, how many races have you done when someone actually asks to see under the hood?
