95 Honda Accord CD5 *TURBO PROJECT*
Hello everyone! I'm new in this forum but I read a lot of information about the honda accord turbo. First of all, I'd like to apologize for my english, this isn't my native language and probably I will have grammar mistakes.
Like the title said, I have an Accord (1995) with a F22B1 engine and I'd like to install a turbo to get between 300-320 whp. Here in Argentina, you can't get spare parts, we have 95 octane fuel and we can't get products from ebay or other websites.
I have the next doubts:
How much whp can I get?
How much boost pressure or PSI can the stock internals support? How much boost can the stock F22B1 sleeves handle?
I was thinking on forging the pistons but I don't know if it's worth it or if I should forged rods instead. I'd like to know what is better to forged or what internal is weaker.
Should I modified the clutch or transmission?
Thank you very much for your time and the help!

Welcome to the forum!
I think aiming for 250hp is a lot more reasonable if you are worried about problems with getting spare parts.
The engine internals should be fine going up to 12psi no problem and maybe even more than that.
I would start by compression testing your engine, if everything is good, I would just turbo it and worry about forged parts later IF you need them.
Concerning the transmission and clutch, if I remember correctly the stock clutch is good for up to 200lb/ft of torque or so.
The next step up is Exedy Stage 1 which is rated for Clutch Torque: 298 ft./lbs; Torque At Flywheel: 238ft./lbs; Torque Capacity At Wheels: 191 ft./lbs.
Inspect your current clutch, if it is in good condition continue to use it. If it needs replacing just get a stage 1

I have the next doubts:
How much whp can I get? Professionally tuned on a stock engine, keep it under 300whp.
How much boost pressure or PSI can the stock internals support? How much boost can the stock F22B1 sleeves handle? Boost pressure is irrelevant. ~350whp is a pretty hard limit for the stock engine. With forged rods/pistons, the sleeves are only good for about 400whp.
I was thinking on forging the pistons but I don't know if it's worth it or if I should forged rods instead. I'd like to know what is better to forged or what internal is weaker. You have to do both. Stock pistons are not compatible with aftermarket forged rods and vice versa.
Should I modified the clutch or transmission? Yes. You will need an upgraded clutch and to replace or resurface the flywheel. Go with a full face, organic sprung disc with a heavy duty pressure plate for best street manners. Something like the ACT HDSS or XTSS.

Thank you for the welcome!
My idea is to reach 300hp, I understand that the engine's lifespan is already somewhat at stake at that power, but there are parts that are manufactured here, such as pistons and connecting rods.
Do you think the engine can handle 12psi well? That would give me around 250hp or whp?
The engine is fine, it has the majority of new parts, the only thing I was thinking about is: if I didn't forge the engine should I lower the compression through a higher head gasket?.
Do you think I could get more hp out of it?
What turbo would be the best for me to use besides the t3/t04e?

Friends who are in the know claim that the T3/T4 is still fine for a budget build but is very dated now. They are more inclined to look towards GT30 turbo etc. I am no turbo expert but it is something worth exploring,
How do you plan to tune the engine?
