Before I put my engine in, I wanted to do all the NECESSARY stuff to go turbo with about 15psi (hopefully more). Here's what I've gotten or will be doing:
JE Forged 9:1 pistons
Crower rods
Will be resleeving with Ductile Iron Sleeves
(Dual Friction Clutch)

For now that's all I planned on doing and then slapping turbo on that. (top end work will come eventually). What do you guys think a setup like this can run? How much psi would be safe?

 

u'll need bigger injectors, fpr, and a standalone. zats all i can zink of now

 

what about fuel? and engine management? fully built block w/ those two variables taken care of should be able to handle 20+ lbs of boost if tuned correctly.

 

oh, and a couple hours of good tuning!

 

Sorry, forgot to mention all those variables. All of that is in my plan but included in my turbo set up (since I won't be buying a kit -- they don't make one for a h22 in an accord). I guess I'm more wondering if I can stick with a stock head as far as valves/springs...etc and be fine running 15-20psi. I wanted to first get the turbo on and then work on the head later.

 

ONE MORE THING I FORGOT TO ASK:
what do you people do for studs? I couldn't find any studs for h22 (although arp said they will start making some soon), so I ended up buying new OEM studs. I also bought all new gaskets, and all new belts (including water pump) just to be safe.

 

Back up...anyone know about studs??? Would I be safe using OEM ones?
