I see red strips on your hood and roof. LOL. Tell me, how much horsepower does that add ?

You are not ready for a turbo. Sorry, the truth. First thing that came to mind is that you bought a JDM h22a motor that has high compression pistons 10.6:1. You will have to drop that compression by digging into your block, can you even touch a block at this stage of your 'car experiences' ? It's just a question, everyone starts somewhere.

Are you really ready for boost?
My advice is if you can't install it a turbo kit, you don't deserve it.....
Sorry.

low boost and a good tune is fine.

ShadowPrelude92 I think you should look into more though there are many turbo kits look at the Turbonetics kids or the Greddy complete kits.

It is what it is brother, those 2 number go together perfactly with H22a. When you got a good mecanic and a good tuner, those 2 numbers are seen all day. I dunno who does your work or tunes your car but thats what that setup produces its proven. 280+whp

8psi wouldn't make anywhere near 300whp on the dyno I use.....
dynos are for tuning, not bragging.
Good mechanic/good tuner=Not enough
Once its tuned, then make a great pass.....Thats th real proving ground. Not some Rollers hooked up to a computer.

And 300whp from a Turbo H22 is still weak regardless.......

STFU noob.....learn to spell if you're going to throw shots at me.

Boosting a stock H22 is still drunk driving.......Those ringlands may not even make it through a Dyno session, or they may last for years.
And 12s in a Boosted H22 EK is still weak
We were doing that in an EK All Motor-Stock internals 7yrs ago.....

At sea level. True. This dude is in Canada. Elevation is a factor. The H22 civics around here (5300 ft) barely break the 14 sec barrier. N/A Preludes are running around 16s! The cars at sea level are totally different beasts.

lol ^^^ anyways shadowprelude92 you should look around and search for boosted forums... I was where u were, h22a and wanted more.... I looked around for at least 6 months into forced induction and how toos...and when your ready for boost go for it... All in all I would start out with a simple bolt on kit such as GReddy... good luck...

Name calling will get you nowhere....
And saying they handle 8psi no problem is a noob statement.......and untrue.
People have destroyed ringlands with 5psi on the dyno and others have made 400whp+ for years w/o incident.
Sounds like you're banking on Consistency in metallurgy[and cast at that] and sometimes you will be let down....I understand your thinking, you're a noob.
My friends H22A1 @ 7psi was fine....turned it up to 10psi and it lasted a week.......
