Default Potential 95 Accord turbo build

Hey guys, so I have really been looking into turboing my 95 accord ex coupe. I plan on building it on a budget and using whatever I can. My car has a F22 non vtec and a 5 speed manual. Right now I plan on using the turbo from my friends WRX when he upgrades to a larger one, or possibly a turbo from another car, but I have some questions.

1) How much boost would the stock internals be able to handle? I don't plan on building the F22, but I also plan on keeping boost pretty low, less than 10-15psi

2)Can the stock ECU be tuned? or do I need to purchase an aftermarket computer?

3)What size injectors would you guys recommend for a set up like this?

I'm sorry if these have already been asked, I just had a few questions so I thought I'd post up. I also did this to get some feedback and advice, thanks everybody!

Turbo on a budget, just doesn't sound right to me. Anyways, do you know of a manifold that can work your car at that turbo from the wrx? Chances are you'll need a custom made manifold and that will cost a lot.

Go though this topic a couple of times my friend

the wrx turbo (td04-13G) is very small for the h22, I suggest you get a used TD05-16G from mitsu lancer evo, and have it rebuilt.

yes, stock cpu can be tuned

400 cc injectors is ok for stock engine

IMO stock internals can handle about 250 hp

i agree with justYn you must read the faqs...

By "on a budget" I meant by using parts from other cars like the turbo itself. Not like cutting corners. And I have been looking. I guess I was looking more specifically at using the turbo from the wrx, but if it is too small to be worth it, I will look for something a bit bigger. Thanks guys

but its not an h22 though, its an f22b2, and he wants less than 15lbs so spooling a 16g (im assuming were talking about a big 16g or why bother) to only 10psi is pointless. Theres alot of info out there about the f series, learn everything you can before you buy anything, and learn where its safe to be cheap, although most of the time you choose 2: fast, cheap, or reliable

First thing that came to my mind...The turbo may be cheap, but the manifold you will need in order to use that turbo is going to blow your budget. You would be better off finding a cast t3 manifold and a used Garrett T3 turbo.

Before doing anything, read the Forced Induction FAQ...it will save you a lot of headaches if/when you build this setup
