Default JDM Type-S + Boost

Would it be ok to boost this with stage1 skunk2 internals.. cams.. cam gears.. intake mani.. & tb?

Any problem with this at all?

Too much compression, I think, will not help you. But there is nothing impossible for the great tuner.

the compression is would still be a little high for my liking, but as long as you get it tuned properly, it shouldnt be a problem

What's your setup now?

Main problem w/ higher compression + boost is the tuning window is typically smaller. Less room for error.

The stuff you need for a decent NA build like compression and wild cams(although S2S1 arn't that wild) don't work all that well for boost.

the type s has 11:1 compression. higher compression is better for NA, and lower compression is better for turbo. The base H22 (10.1:1 compression USDM) is a better motor for turbo, and the type s is better for NA.

With skunk2 stage 2 stuff you are going to be blowing the air right out of the head. The cams are designed to keep the valves open longer to allow more air. Great for N/A shitty for turbo.

Considering 10:1 pistons bust ring lands all day on 7 psi even with tuning...I'd say 11:1 would blow even faster...the cams aren't for boost either.

go stage 2 with type S pistons. Go for the valvetrain upgrade as well. You should make power passt the stock 7400 RPM redline, and to rev her out you need the valvetrain. Do it all right the first time so dont have to pull apart the head again in the future. Be sure to look at your budget and stay within what you are allowing yourself to spend.

and besides, dont ruin a rare motor like that with boost....

buy an h22 block and build that instead, then sell the type s if you would rather boost
