i dont ever come in here. i figured this would be the place to ask.
stock bottom and top, plenty of fuel and a good tune.
what can it hold safely?

 

Safe is 6-7 psi small turbo
Sleaves are to weak, h22's are notorious for spinning bearings to.

I have hear of them getting 17 psi but on a damn good tune and never ever see's boost. I would strongly suggest saving up and gettign it sleeved or go to for sale forum and getting golden eagles $950 special

 

special is actually $875

 

the h22 sleeves are actually very strong, the ring lands on the pistons usually give out first. Mahle gold series pistons have been know to work really well with the stock sleeves, they've seen up to 20psi safely with a good tune. I ran 10psi on my stock h22 with no problem, daily driven in fact. if you have a really good tune with no knock you should be ok to run up to 10psi maybe even 12psi. if your going all out, get it sleeved, if your on a budge, try the mahle pistons, alot cheaper than sleeving.

 

H22 = best kept N/A
no problems and nice DD

 

bearings are not the problem, pistons are the problem.

how much hp did you make on 19psi to run a 10.8??^^^

 

lets not forget about the rods.... they scare me just looking at them..

 

i blew stock pistons at 10psi ona gt30, probably about 350 whp or so. it lasted a few weeks.
