Engine build ideas for my 97 Honda Accord? I know 300+ horses is a bit of a longshot but?

I have all the mods that I need to support a turbo. I know the stock f22b2 block can handle up to 10psi and around 300 hp on stock internals. My F22b2 engine I have been working on was rebuilt with forged internal components for future boosting. My question is should I use my modded f22b2 head or go for a vtec and DOHC like the H22/H23?

Mods on my current F22b2 setup:

Block:
Forged pistons and steel rods

Head:
Performance valves and springs,
H23a intake manifold, 550cc injectors and aem fuel rail

All my pre-boost upgrades are for the F22b2 engine build. So if I swapped to a H series engine I would have to buy those supporting mods again to accommodate for a turbo later on. Maybe a G22 build? A modded F22B2 block with a F23 head on it? This is my daily driver and need reliability like I have with the current f22b2 that is in my accord (305k miles strong) What do you think would be the best combination for reliability and will hold up alot of boost later?

I would like to reach atleast 300 horses after adding turbo and a tune. If that can't be done with my current f22b2 build let me know what I need to do to reach my goal.

You are asking alot for a block with 305K on it!

No I got another block and head on a stand in my garage lol. I know that thing is about toast. Just running it until it dies for good

Going to need a bit more to get 300hp at the wheels…

What type of tranny have you built to take 300hp? Have you already built a limited slip?

What is your plan for fuel/engine management?

Cam?

Have a bit of planning to do.

Establish a budget. Make a list. Do it.

Have you thought about the torque steer? It might make more sense to start out with a V6 before modifying the engine.

  • Upgrading 300,000 miles SOHC engine? I want to upgrade my hondas SOHC 1.6 ltr engine with new pistons, crankshaft, camshaft, displacement, engine head, valves and springs, cam gears, connecting rods, fuel system, and a small stage 1 turbo but the engine has 300,000 miles in it. If i upgrade it anyway, will it make the engine newer, or will i have to replace it either way?
  • About how much would a Honda CBR 300 engine weigh? I'm looking for a suitable engine for an APU (auxiliary power unit) for an EV (electric vehicle) range extender. I've came across some wrecked CBR 300's for cheap and they seem to be just what I'm looking for. I take it the engine and transmission are one unit which is ok. But about how much would one weigh? I'm looking for something that's light, low emissions, and with close to 20hp/15kW continuous power. Thanks!
  • I have a Honda GSV 190 mower engine with a broken starter rope and stud stuck in starter that I can't remove. Any ideas would be great When removing the nuts holding the recoil starter in place the nut on the front of the starter is stuck. When I try to remove it the whole stud come out of the engine. Leaving the engine cover stuck to the starter preventing me from replacing the rope. I have tried everything I can think of to remove it with no luck. Heres what it looks like. http://www.ereplacementparts.com/bolt-stud-h425mm-p-554740.html
  • I have a Honda 1.4 sport 1999 reg and the revs keep going high but there's little power - any ideas? When i first start it its ok but after 15-20 minutes it starts to over rev and the power seems to drop. Any ideas on what could be causing it?
