Just an informative post.
If you are thinking about getting a h22a turbo set up in your 4door or 2door accord, think again before you just go out and buy a turbo kit. There are many things you have to take into account.
1. Your hood will not close, unless the hood is modded, or you have a turbo hood.
2. Downpipe from Drag gen 3 Kit will not fit your car with air conditioner, if you want A/C that is. It also would have to be beat in a little bit to fit under the engine.
3. Your front bumper (not cover) will have to be modded, along with your horns.
4. If you are thinking about doing that all popular AUTO to 5SPD conversion into an Accord with no 5Spd components on the car at all. Master Cylindar, Pedals, Lines, etc. Please empty your wallet to the evil honda man for $700 for everything you need and call me in the morning.
5. Thought your stock Axels or mounts would work with your car? THINK AGAIN - Your going to need upper mounts right and left for your h22a and a new transmission mount and bracket.
6. The Drag Gen 3 Turbo Kit does not come with an Intake Filter or pipe for the h22a into an accord because they claim there is no room. Buy a HKS Power Flow Air Filter or just mod your air filter off your previous cold air intake and you should have no problem.
Conclusion: Unless you are the guy with the skyline, prelude and s2k turbo you shouldn't attempt this swap unless you have a lot of money put aside for shit that breaks in the process.
From personal experience, my rear spindels broke and the honda dealer had them in stock (hmmm) $260. A strut broke on the right side, so I just bought all brand new AGX KYB Gas Powered Struts ($349). If you wanna talk price - figure 11k, without the cost of the car. But, in the end you'll have a fuckin fast car.
2nd Conclusion: Drag turbo kits - the people that constructed these kits should be taken into a cornfield and cut up into tiny pieces.
Happy Racing
