H22 Turbo Build. 5-600WHP Goal. Thoughts?
I am in the planning process of building an H22A4 turbo for a swap. I am not new to forced induction, but have only every had 350whp, and this will be my first honda build. I won't be running peak boost all the time, but I want 500-600WHP available. I pretty much have planned on the following:
-Golden Eagle Sleeves
-ARP Head Studs
-Eagle H-Beam Rods
-Walbro Fuel Pump ('s?)
-Tial 38mm Wastegate (Already Purchased)
-A/W Intercooler
-1000cc Injectors
-T3TO4E 60 Trim Rotomater Turbo (Already Purchased)
-Tial 50mm BOV (Already Purchased)
My main questions are in relation to what pistons to use (A friend is using CP, and they seem to be good, but I am leaning towards JE because they are what I personally know), and what compression you guys are running in this range (Was thinking 9:1 seemed logical, but once again, this is my first honda build. Plus with JE, I would have to go custom to get different from what I see, as I only see 9:1, ans 12:1 listed on their site). My ?'s are only really engine hardware related, I pretty much have my ECU/tuning needs taken care of. I am also not sure if my turbo is going to fit the bill either, but it was originally purchased with different goals in mind, But I will deal with that as needed. This is going into a daily driver, and will probably only be running the boost needed for 300WHP normally, But as mentioned earlier, I want 5-600WHP on tap. I am from a family of muscle car owners, and I need to show that you dont need a V8 to have this kind of power, as much as I want it for myself!
