Default h22 high compression turbo questions


(I POSTED THIS IN FI THREAD BUT NO ONE WANTS TO HELP so i figured precision and 98 and more will have good input thanks)

well im a N/A guy but i want to go turbo with the extra money i have saved up but i have some questions before and i have spent all day with the SEARCH button...
my mods are
h22
11:5:1 forged pistons
sleeved block bored .40 over
polished crank
full skunk 2 valve train (dual springs)
titanium retainer clips
skunk 2 stage 2 cams( going to put stock jdm cams in when go turbo)
skunk 2 cam gears
AEM fuel rail
hondata s300
also i have a VENOM IM laying around in the garage

I know its all about tuning with the high compression so i am looking for the best tuner in my area for the job, hopefully ill stay on 93 octane but ill go higher if i have too (Going to driven quite often on the streetright now it is my daily).

Plan to get
550 injectors (or bigger. any suggestions?)
75mm TB
3 layer head gasket

Now about which turbo or turbo kit i should get is what help i need from you guys i am completly lost from then on.... maybe it would help for you to know my goals

My Goal
stay reliable
about 300-350 hp
Not have to go crying to my bank for a loan to start all over again

thank you ahead of time for all of responces

well the reason they didnt asnwer your question in the FI forum is becuase this gets asked all the time. yes it can be done, yes the tune is key. most will say piece together a kit yourself and others will say just buy a kit. but search and you will find everything you need

Putting a turbo on your car can be done and may be okay. However my buddy hooked up two k20 motors on 11:1 . Then he wanted more power so went to supercharger, too much compression oil leaked to exhaust manifold and caught fire burning his car to the ground. In his CRX he put a turbo on the K20 motor in that car. Piston shot through the head. My buddy did a lot of work on the motor including head gasket pistions bord the block valves springs cams etc but never lowered the compression and thats what made both his motors blow.
BE CAREFUL!!!

Congrats....your BUDDY is an idiot......

Preaching to the choir....Tuning is key!
I say have fun with Nitrous on top of the N/A setup for alot cheaper......
Stage it and use accordingly...........$1k with all the bells and whistles!

u really race that much? a sane person would only use nitrous when they needed it and it would take you a long time, probably never even get close, to be refilling 10lbs nitrous bottles to match the price of turbo.

A nice direct port is about 1000 dollars new and used kits can be found for alot less. Theres always some kiddy's dad who finds the bottle and makes him sell it

i would say go for it. Take your car to Jeff Evans or Anthony....imo.

the distance you have to get to a tuner should be no factor with this motor in turbo form.

I can buy about 100 bottle fills for what a Turbo kit costs........On average, a 50 shot will use 1/2lb of Nitrous every 10sec......The MATH is yours to play with!
Nitrous makes cars faster anyway....$ for $ nitrous&lt;turbo!
not trying to make a Nitrous VS Turbo debate because there is nothing to debate!

you need to get to an E85 station before you get tuned. and i would reconsider taking the cams out.
