What would you do with a spare engine?

Post by ChrisR » Sun Mar 30, 2014 2:14 pm

So guys I went and got myself a H22a last night, which the over all plan is to swap it out with my current H22a5.

So first off I'd like to strip it down and see how it looks on the inside as there is 140000km on the engine, guy said it runs well and pulls well but you can never be sure. Anyway by all means I'm no mechanic but I know the basic stuff and I'm continuing to read up on how it all works so I am planning to strip it down myself as there is no rush to get the engine into the car so I can take my time.

But my question is to you guys what would you do with the engine, remember there is no rush to get it in the car so I can take as long as I want on it. As you can see from my poll there is 3 options please pick one just so I can get an idea, or if you have a different idea leave it in a comment :D

Me personally I'm stuck between either SC the engine or N/A and just upgrade the cams and all to better ones.

Anyway fire away guys let me know what you opinions are and what you would do!

Cheers guys!

does Turbocharge not need a lot more engine work so you don't end up blowing the engine?

hmm after doing quite a bit of reading today I've ruled out turboing it but I am highly considering SS it, would there be any added benefit if i did cams as well so the vtec kicks in harder but have the SS do all the lower end work then let the vtec take over at the higher end?
