the majority of preludeonline.com guys run jrsc's... without ic's. they experience all kinds of problems. ie: tip-in detonation, too high of a fuel pressure, running lean, knocking, etc, etc, and etc.

STOCK EVERYTHING ON THE H-SERIES SUCKS!!!

thank you

 

Crap kinda scared of my greddy turbo'd lude soon to be, i plan on tuning it on hondata running 9lbs at the track, and another map tuned for the street at like 6-7lbs . Damn h22. But i still love you.

 

i blew mine.

 

hmmm this makes me think of the thread a while ago when i said that H22s arent the greatest motors in the honda line to turbo and i was flamed like a mo fo, and some one said that with good tuning it would be fine WELL DOES THIS LOOK FINE
sorry, not saying **** about u man, that sucks and hope the rebuild goes well

PS own page 2

 

Double nuts. But lets all look at fire drake, hes tuned on hondata with stock internals going on 300hp. Soon to blow but still going strong.

 

is there anyway to get a recent pic of those burnt up ringlands? im curious to see what they look like if not any pic of ringlands that have been burnt up.

fyi those pics dont work anymore. thats why im asking...\

here's one:

 

thanks inspyral.
so im assuming this is what happens when you dont resleeve a block and run too much psi or try and run forged pistons if not both. lol.

Stock cast pistons go sooner or later, it's just a matter of time.

 

ya they die because they aren't tuned properly, ringlands just don't break on there own.

The picture above was after two years at 8-11psi daily on a MASE tune. True, they don't "break on their own", but they weren't designed to to handle the abuse of a daily driven turbo application either. While it's true that the tune plays a huge role in the longevity of a turbo engine, to say that all stock cast piston ringland failures are caused by bad tunes is at best an oversimplification.
