THE BACKSTORY:
ok so i'm new to this whole game. haha thought i should go for a learning experience. i'm a capable mechanic and have all the resources i need. i grew up working on V8s (MOPAR guy) and i've never gone all out working a 4cylinder. this is my first build on a honda. i had a F22B1 in my garage from my friends 94 accord coupe he totaled. the engine is bored .20 and has internals done over. currently working on getting all that build info.

BASIC PLAN: stripping down the whole engine to clean it and replace EVERY SINGLE GASKET, ARP studs/bolts where needed, performance IM, new TB with spacer, turbo setup (T4)

also i'm sticking this into a 95 civic coupe roller i snagged for $400 (don't be too hard on me for putting and F22 in instead of something easier like a B series. i'm working with what i got. its just a first project for fun)

QUESTIONS:
i hear all kinds of numbers for how much boost i should do. what do you more experienced people think i should run?

good parts site that won't kill my wallet? i found some on my own but the more knowledge the better.

lastly any advice/tips are much appreciated.

 

I have ARP Head Studs for you.


10lbs is a good number for these motors.

 

what would you want for the head studs?
