Hey guys. so im looking at buying a turbo this thursday guy is giving me a good deal on it 60 bucks. i was just wondering what you guys think of throwing it on an h22a i know the compresion is way high but i was thinking of just running on 5 pounds til i build the block just curious on how you guys think it would hold up??? and just the turbo is 60 bucks i would have to piece the rest together

thanks in advance guys

 

and i always take care of my motor always change the oil with royal purple never drive it hard or anything

 

There's a lot that goes into a turbo system, start researching.

I'm running 10:1 compression on my setup, high compression isn't the issue, understanding what you're doing is.

BTW, 5psi on my setup is 285whp [on a low reading dyno], that's easily +100hp over stock and well beyond what stock injectors will do.

 

BTW, for $60 for a working turbo, I'd buy it and find out what it is. At the worst you have a really cool $60 paper weight.

I actually have a blown Precision 6262 paper weight, which is basically Precision's version of the GT35.

 

Just make sure you have good rings in that engine.

 

haha for sure man thank you i mean i know what i need and stuff i mean for 5 pounds you think i need bigger injectors?

 

yeah im going to be doiing a compression text soon

 

Compression text? Your motor got wi-fi or something? LOL

Bigger injectors for 5psi, yes. There are fuel/hp ratio calculators on the web from reputable companies like Garrett, figure out what size injector you need for 250-300 horsepower and add at least 20% to give yourself room to grow.

If I remember correctly, the stock H22 injectors are only good to around 225whp.

FYI, 5psi on an H22 isn't the same as 5psi on a B16. An H22 will create more horsepower, pound for pound than a D or B-series, due to the displacement difference. I'm around 400whp on 10-12psi with 10:1 compression, while my friend has a stock B16 with ~10.6:1 compression needs 18psi to create 400whp, smaller motor, same airflow creates higher boost pressures.

Also, wheel horsepower is only like 80-90% of crank horsepower. This is why an H22 rated at 190-210bhp [at the flywheel] by Honda, dynos between 165-180whp [at the wheels] with no mods [also depending on the dyno].

 

Ha my bad at work and on my phone. And thanks. I'm still debating on doing an na build or a turbo build :/

 

See my edited response

 

$60 bucks for a turbo...something doesn't sound right in that.

 

Yeah, just stick a random turbo on your car....awesome

You need way more info than that to even come close to making a good decision....

 

 

He was asking 120 but he's a good friend and its a stock subaru turbo internal waste gate and aet at 8

 

You might have a fun time finding a manifold to mount that stock subie turbo on.

 

Up to $200 I've seen people ask for a stock subie turbo. So $60 is reasonable.

You'll need a lot more stuff, for some people, a random turbo is a starting point.

 

Idk what I wanna do I mean an na motor sounds nice but so does a turbo spool and a ssq bov lol

 

You should probably start looking through the FAQs and reading about how to build a turbo setup before you buy anything.

 

I know how its just I wont have money after just in case the block doesnt hold up

 

research, research, research lots to learn..

 

I mean there's always stuff to learn

 

especially when your talking about a 60 dollar turbo....

 

I like the $60 turbo ...

It's a lot cheaper than a proper $800-1200 turbo ...

 

Well if thw turbo is good then what's wrong with that for a dd its my everyday car

 

well you hit the hammer on the nail with that one, cheaper. You pay for what you get...i understand it's a subie turbo...but i mean if you're gonna just build a backyard turbo...you're bound to tear your **** up. So if this kid wants reliable he needs to research....and maybe it's just me but i wouldn't go anything less than a ball bearing turbo.
