Default h22a turbo?

i have read in many posts and seen on sites online about how h22as dont work well with boost and noone has really explained why does anyone know why it doesnt and could they give an example of someone who had a problem and what happened because i am thinking about keeping my engine and turboing it but i dont wanna run into expensive problems thanks

I dont know about the pre97s so I cannot say. Though I have heard they
arent as weak.

The ringlands on the H22a1 are the same. Go to the Forced Induction forum on http://www.preludeonline.com There are several examples of blown engines with broken ringlands and lots of information about boosting the H22a.

Mostly warnings.

I busted a ringland in about a month on my h23, even with a seemingly well tuned hondata. Now I am building...

First of all, if you're planning to run any kind of boost on the Double Deuce, you'll need forged pistons. Before that, you'll need to resleeve the cylinders because you can't run forged pistons in the factory sleeves. So that's going to be another $600-800 for the resleeve, on top of the piston and rod. So it's going to be ex-pensive no matter what. Just be ready to drop a wad of $$$ in preperation for boost.

But I tell ya, once everything is in order, 15psi on a 2,2L will net you some big numbers! 400whp easy if you tune it right.

yea i knew it was going to be alot of money that is why i dont plan on this till end of summer maybe longer.......but i dont wanna do it and ruin my block like many people have so hopefully i can find a way to safely boost up to like 20 psi......i know that is high and isnt easy but its going to be a drag car so i am not worried about the daily driving part
