Hey guys I have a carb legal h22 civic and I want a greedy turbo for the fact that they are carb-exempt but dont know if my setup would be able to handle the boost.my setup is pretty close to what a h22 type-s is with 11:1 compression but since there bolt on I think it should fine without changing my pistons again.. I'm not trying to boost more then 5psi..input on what you guys think..

 

bump

 

what do you guys think would it be okay to run a small turbo with my bottom end setup to 11:1 compression..?

 

With 91 Octane "water"? Questionable. Keep it conservative on tuning, that's for sure. The C.A.R.B. status doesn't include running an intercooler. If you're not running an intercooler, at that static compression, I'd advise against it.

 

well yes I plan on running a intercooler and all the stuff needed to run a turbo..just wondering if it would be safe to do it without buying low compression pistons...trying to boost about 5-6psi nothing to crazy

 

Find a tuner first that will/can tune your car on 91 octane and low boost + high compression.

 

but it can be done and not going to blow my motor..I forgot to mention that i have ductile iron/nickel sleeves..

 

Any turbo kit will work with the H22. Tuning is key to your setup due to high compression. Boosting at 5-7 lbs is safe to running daily. Anything more then that with daily abuse will result in a blown motor.

 

ok that sounds good..this car is more like my work car about 60 miles commute on 4 days of the week and maybe some weekend driving..

 

well I just contact greddy and they pretty much told there kit is discontinue and it wasnt street legal..so there that project..I was thinking supercharger but i dont have the room for it..sad day for me.
