6-7 psi, turbo kits are good, and find them by looking.

I second the 6-7 pounds and good engine management to make sure it's tuned right. Don't be surprised if it doesn't last long though.
I had a Drag Gen 4 turbo kit before going with a custom kit. The drag gen 4 kit worked great, though the T3/T4 is a little bigger than needed when only running 6 lbs. Something smaller will spool better for you.

max boost??? who knows... there's always someone out there pushing the envelope. Firedrake i believe boosted ~11-12lbs for a while. i know i boosted 9lbs at the track for quite a few passes without any problems. the major consensus on h-t is stay around 6-8lbs for safety.

my friend put on t3/04 turbo on his H22 prelude. He was running it with 4lbs of boost with an intercooler. He raised it to 8 lbs and blew his head gasket. Fixed it witht a new head gasket. Needless to say he blew it again and got pissed off and went out and bought a motor that he knew without a doubt that could handle a **** load of boost---the 4g63 in a GST eclipse. He put a t03/04 in there and is running 22 lbs of boost and thing are looking promising. He still has the prelude. Only thing I can say is Honda motors just cant handle boost, inless you build the motor first. I am going all motor in my Integra. I love my b18 but I wouldnt put a turbo on it.

a little more info about your situation would help get you more specific answers.<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Hawkze_2.3 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">6-7 psi, turbo kits are good, and find them by looking.</TD></TR></TABLE>

some people just have bad luck. i have ran a 100 dry shot on my car for over three years and i never blew a headgasket, or anything else for that matter. i have now converted to turbo and i am running 10psi on a stock block. i do have it tuned with hondata. maybe your friend didn't get it tuned and he backfired often. whatever the case may be i know plenty of honda's with stock blocks holding boost for over a couple years. plus a prelude with 6psi can hold down most eclipses with 15psi. sounds pretty sad to me.

way back this one dude from AEM had a h22 layign around and he made a redicules amount of power outta the h22 just being curious to what it coudl take and what kinda power it could throw down. i think he was running like 15-16 lbs and somewhere close to 400whp in a hatch.. he had it tuned with AEM of course with a SC61 turbo. that engine prob didn't last long but for stock... wow.

Never heard of Mooros. If your going ot be rebuilding the block in 2months I would push about 10 psi on the stock bottom end should hold that for 2months pretty easy tuned correctly. What type of engine managment are you using?

I ran 12 psi daily for ~2 years, right now it's around 9psi and the motor has perfect compression. It's all about the tuning.

Turbokid13, if you're really looking for a turbo kit to make big power, I'm possibly selling my entire turbo setup. There is an ad in the prelude for-sale or you can contact me if you're interested. You'd need to make modifications (maybe) to the piping to fit the accord. This setup makes 380 whp on my stock motor at 11-12psi, the turbo and kit should easily be good for 500 on a built motor. EDIT: Nevermind, I just saw 1992 accord, you won't be able to use the manifold unless you lose the front motor mount. Best manifold for H22 1990-1993 accords is the drag gen4.......

Ask your friend if he reused the stock headstuds
or if he had a set of arp's.

I second that
PSI has nothing to do with it really, like my buddy put it to me, "I can blow 6 psi with my mouth through a straw, and I can do 15 psi with a bike pump."

Its all in how you tune it.
