I have a h22a that has stock internals with the basic bolts and balance shaft eliminator kit, fully built trans ect......I only put 1000-2000 miles on it a year and the track once in awhile. I was wondering what turbo to get that would be reliable and keep it at 7-8 psi with the stock internals and then later when I build the motor more can up the boost a little with the same turbo. There are tons and tons of different turbos out there and I don't know enough about them to be able to decide which one would best suit my needs.

Not again....
Psi DOES NOT MATTER. Its all about the airflow capabilities of a given turbo.

Decide on a power goal and what you want to do with the car (street car, drag, road race, etc) then we can lead you in the proper direction

Right now I dyno'd at 187hp and 167 tq with a p72 ecu and hondata s300. Id say its mostly for street use but I do go to the a few times a summer. I ran a 12.8 in the 1/4 with slicks this last summer and im content with that for now. Id say im looking to get 230ish to the wheels by adding a turbo. Of course im not even sure if the motor will be reliable enough to run a turbo with the stock pistons

Found an old post from like 2008. He used a GT3257, but you can also use anything that 53lbs/min to do the same thing.. this is at its maximum.

Here's an example of an individual that used a lower pressure application to take full advantage of his H22A on a stock engine. It was much better to use a slightly larger turbocharger and run a lower boost threshold with his 10.0:1 compression, than to use a lower compression and a smaller turbo and invite a lot of detonation. 10.0:1 may be high to most people on Xceed for a boosted application, but it is quite common in the Honda world. Since his VE is over .92 on the stock Honda head, it worked out well. He just sold the car to his brother, who had it tuned at Godspeed, long before it became TF, and is still running to this day, from 2005. This power can be made similarly with a T3/T04E 60 trim, but will not be made well with anything like a 16G or so, because of the amount of backpressure.

Stock sleeves do not like high Boost pressure ratios without sleeving.
