Default Turbo h22 or not?

You guys think i should turbo my car or not? I mean i'm building a turbo kit right now but not sure of turbo'in my car. scared of the ringlands... If i do go turbo i will get it tuned first thing when turbo is installed... but i don't know. What do you guys think? I have a stock JDM H22A motor in a 93 Prelude .. This is the setup im going for.

Turbonetics T3T4 .48 .57, DSM 450cc, Uberdata P28, Greddy Type S BOV and Relief valve, tial wastegate 7 or 8lb spring, walbro 255 fp. jrc 8 in fmic, rev hard manifold

I would be more worried about h22 sleeves than pistons, rods etc. based on what I have seen here on honda-tech.

I say go for it ... turbo that bad boy ... just don't go over 7 or 8 psi if you don't plan on building the block at all. Or you'll do what my did and crack your block. Good luck though

Dont worry about how many pounds too run, just keep it under the 275whp mark. It will last a little longer there. Before I built mine, I had around 320whp and beat the **** out of it daily. I was using AEM EMS. It blew in 7 months. It held up longer than I thought it would.

The turbo will blow eventually and you'll have to compensate for that, made respect to anyone inside the 10's all motor

same question pretty much so I put it here...
How long do you think that a Drag Turbo kit would last on a H22 with a FMU.

Go ahead and turbo it man. Seriously, I've been turbo'd on my lude for quite some time and the rush you get from the tq is more than any N/A lude can dish out IMO. Also, I'm a ricer so I love my blow off valve! haha never get sick of it. I'm pushing 7 psi on my deltagate and it's fine, I'm still on a base map (in korea now so the car's parked) but my car was plenty quck! Go turbo man, you won't regret it, if you need any more advice feel free to pm me .

REALLY BAD IDEA: do not listen to this guy. Those cheap parts are horrible. the manifolds are mostly ss autochrome or a sub-let of them. THey have huge tendencies to crack like crazy. Do not cheap out on your motor man, you will regret it because it will cost you more in the long run. Cheap and turbo do not match.
