Default H22a For Sure But What mods for Turbo

I have a 91 accord which i threw all money into looks (but it is pretty mean lookin with its skyline front end ) and now i have a blown engine i ordered an h22a jdm, from what ive heard these bolt right up with the right engine mounts, where can i get the engine mounts? Also i am going to turbo it i need some advice should i go drag , or fmax or do it custom? I want it to be my everyday driver still, so what all do i need to do to make it as safe as possible besides the following

Egt
Boost Controller
MSD Timing Retard
Lower compression
fuel pump
fuel rail
injectors
3 in exhuast header back

If all this is done how much psi should i be able to run i was thinking 8 safely

Also if anyone else has this done or just an h22 swap what do you run at the track, i am curious to know what ill be doing if i put this much into the engine.


Thanks for everything

8 psi is safe...

9 is sorta pushing it...

10 well meh your gonna break something sooner or later...

12 hold on i gotta wait for the internals to arrive before we turn the wrench...

14 you break it you buy it!

15-22 have the engine blessed by a priest

over 22psi contact the pope/high religious figure...

over 30psi for more information please consult multiple investors/large bank loan/god

i'd say go anywhere from 5-6 for daily driving...that'll give you just the right amount of power for the streets....and then when you hit the tracks you can push a few more psi through there....but definitely don't go over 8 for daily driving!

H22s dont handle boost very well. If it was me, i would send it to Golden Eagle and have it sleeved with matched pistons. I would go with 9:1 JE and Eagle Rods. The rest of the motor should be fine besides clutch and little things. I would go with a custom kit unless you dont have the time to have the pipes custom made. If you dont have time for a custom kit, go with drag. Check the forced induction forum, they will probably tell you the same thing.
