I have a JDM H22 and i have a turbo kit that i am planning to put on in the next week, i was wondering the recommended lbs. of boost on a stock jdm h22 i should run?

 

wow

 

im sure theres a boost related thread somewhere.

either way, im the kind of person that thinks if the motor is stock 8lbs is the most i would go. just make sure its tuned before you drive.

 

Stock interals Ive been told on a good tune you can get 8 psi Daily driver. Is the JDM motor hight compression then the US version? I don't know if the JDM motors have the same problem with ring lands as US version.

 

I hear anything past 8 is not great.

 

i hear psi dont mean ****.

a precision sc61 on 8psi not same as a td05/06 18g at 8psi

 

^that all true. but i truly doubt he has anything that big. my guess he bought some cheap kit instead of piecing it together. so 8lbs will do.

 

psi mean ****.tobe reliable, just tune the **** out of it till 300hp and thats all. the torque will follow and you'll be happy for about 2 years, then rebuild

 

thanks!!

now im not positive on this, but I am going to take an educated guess on this one.

Did your turbo kit come from ebay?

 

L... O .... L

 

s s a c

yeah 250-300whp on stock internals with a good tune should hold for a wile. should being the keyword. Unless you have a flawed piston and its gonna expletive up.

 

LOL@ expletive. whats expletive got to do with F*U*C*K?

Yah, great advice......then when his ring lands go you can pay for his rebuild.....
for boosting stock H series motors......
Heres the advice I give Nitrous users......If you can't afford a new motor, you have no business playing with more than bolt ons!
For cheap and fast setups.....
Some people make 400whp on stock H22's w/o issues and others break at &gt;250whp. Chalk it up to inconsistency in Cast Pistons and poor tuning...
Save your money and do it right.......A Prelude on 7psi from a small Turbo is Poop anyway! Congrats, you just spent $3-4-5k to run 13's!
Nitrous FTW!

 

Dont worry about it bro. I have the JDM h22a on my EG6 hatchback...And all of the haterz never stop talking garbage and unrelated nonsense..
. Ever since I got my H22a. I have never even considered any other one except type r or k20. i cantafford that so H all tha way. I am in the same boat as you.
Except my head is all skunk2, bottom stock. Take some advice. I am going to do 6 psi. To stay on the asfe side. Why take it to 8 psi? Risk loosing it all on a bone stock type s? nah...not me. I am staying at 6 psi. H22a is bad ***. All of the people who say it aint ****,,..is becauase they are ignorat, just like sohc. Those dudes get the worst of the deal. Everyone under estimated h series. My h22a has handed type r/gsr/b16's hatchbacks their own asses even in my crew.
(Dont go past 8psi) You'll be in the safe zone at 8 or less. Get some good tuning. Neptune. The type S is good bro. Take care of it too. Dont be dumb like the other people. The Honda motor will last you as long as you want it to. It all depends on how you take care of it. And staying at 6-8 psi stock is doing that.

LOL. I drove my turbo h23 for over a year at 8 psi with 242 hp, the motor had over 200,000 miles on it before i put the turbo on and it ran just as good the day i sold the turbo it. Im still driving the car with the orginal motor. My h22 has been turbo for a little over a month, at 5 psi 248 hp. iwill be uping the boost to 15 lbs or so next time the tuner is in town.

 

DAMN RIGHT. Thats Exactly what Im saying. The H series is good in every other way as any other B/K series or whatever other motor. With or withour boost. It all lands on how you take care of it. When boosting, taking the extra precautions to boost low on stock, boost high on modified. Plus the tuning. Poop is the look on most people's faces when they get slammed by a V-Tec Powerplant like the h22. Boosted or not. Go for it bro, and don't look back because turbo is never a bad thing, (done right) potential!

 

So how do you take care of RING LANDS you n00bs?!?!?! How do you maintain old bearings???? How do you maintain rod bolts???? How do you maintain rings?????
You talk about it like you can "take care" of all that stuff by rubbing your cars ***** just right.

It'll last as long as you want it to?!?!?! That just sounds stupid.....
I love how you n00bs make guarantees to each other.....
"Yah, run 6-8psi and you'll be fine! It'll be safe!"
Read it-Understand it-Accept it!!&lt;&lt;---If you can't afford a new motor, you have no business playing with more than bolt ons. If you CAN afford a new motor, I say BOOST the snot out of it!!
Youre the youngins that end up bumming rides from friends/family because your Budget Turbo Car blew up and now rots in your parents driveway/garage.
Another for CHEAP AND FAST!!
Yes, I make ~270whp on a stock motor.....but I have the resources to fix my problems if they happen.

Hey thats awesome...........whats your plan when the motor pops? Not trying to be snotty about it, but just realistic. Whether it lasts a week or year. Are you prepared to build a motor or would you just swap another stock motor in? These are questions I have answered to myself and remind myself of everytime I spray a 100 shot on a stock motor. Hey, if it pops, I will buy another JDM H22 for $1000 and in a few days have it running again.

Just trying to share some personal advice with you guys and youre obviously not taking to it......
Notice everyone here being smartass little punks have 2006-2007 near their name?!

I had a high milage h23, i wasnt worreid about it blowing, i had it tuned right and it ran great and is still running. My h22 turbo car is not my daily driver so if the motor breaks i have a few other preludes in my driveway thati can drive while i do a full build.

jdm_hatchback your comment is completely irrelavent to the question ask'd. a ton of people on here have h22a's if not everyone having either an h22 or h23 we know what we have under the hood....there is an entire thread this kid could have looked at before he posted his question and it has about 100 pages full of very good info. maybe if new people meaning 06 and 07 people searched every once in a while we wouldn't flame them all to hell every time they ask'd the exact same question....

Read the Question you veteran retard. He has a (JDM H22a) (Prelude type S)....His question is about turbo charging this engine...is it not???? okay,.,...He askes this simple question and every retard here like Bam Margeras hoe lover give ridiculousy stupid answers which help him for ****. Even you, you jackwad. He has no usefull info to read, everyone is negative and tells him to **** on the h22a and forget about it, I say expletive that. He has the type s. Something better than your usdm H22a1. It can handle 8 psi eaily. The h22a and take abuse relativley well. As long as you do it on the safe side, meaning..pushing your luck with a turbocharged engine while stock.

Also, You dumbass. What I said earlier is related to his question. Irrelevant? Your an idiot, read it over again and make sure you read all of the flaming pile of no help answers and comments on why his engine is poop. Also to answer the quesiton of Mr. I love BAM MARGERA...The way you take care of the piston rings and rods, is simple you smart wizard, If your going turbo on stock type s.....? Try using the common sense rule and boost low and Tune well retard. My friend is pushing 13 psi on his GSR bone stock with Neptune Tuning done by Utah's Courtney Green/ So don't tell me It can't be done because I call your response BS&gt;&gt;&gt;
