I'd like to ask those people who have or had a turboed stock h22 engine. Did you ever blow your motor?...even a minor headgasket counts. Participate in the poll and state your psi, type of engine management, tuned or untuned, and how many miles you have the turbo on so far.

 

7psi, AEM EMS (tuned by morons), untuned, Cracked ringlands due to bad fuel pump.

 

damn bro ya see thats why I choose to go allmotor less problems when im goin back and fourth to work. To high maintenace and really have the money but rather invest in something thats gonna make me money not make me lose money in the long run.

its called.....STOCK DAILY DRRRRIIIIIIVVEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR (which anyone with a turbo charged vehicle should have) that way you dont really have to rely on it, rather, its a toy

how does a lean condition break your ringlands?

running lean can cause detonation as with the extra forces placed ion the engine when using FI, that can do the damage to the weak stock ring lands

 

-last year-
15psi, hondata 4b, tuned, blown headgasket, 3k miles

 

9 psi, tuned AEM EMS, cracked ringlands on 2 pistons....I adjusted a boost table and forgot to datalog the affects and blew up the motor going down the track. Boost rose to 13 psi with only an A/F ratio of 13:1.

same here but at 7 PSI

 

stock motor, 8 psi, vortech fmu, fine as of now, even got the ss tranny, just lucky i guess?

 

dayum, is there something we're forgettin to do

 

approaching 6k miles. no problems.
6.5psi. overboosted to over 10psi on a few occasions. detonated once
compression is 195, 195,205,195
still going strong.

 

this was about 2-2.5 years ago.

1996 accord with 99 h22a4 running a 95 h22a1 tranny

motor only had 9,000 miles when i bought it from a salvage yard. never touched a belt on it, wires, sensors, etc.

custom turbo set-up
t3/t4
revhard manifold
fuel: paxton fuel pump, paxton fpr, vortech fmu, apexi vafc, stock 96 obd2 ecu
fluidyne radiator

ran this car for about 7-8 months through the summer months. drove hard on the car even at 95 degree heat with almost 100% humidity with the a/c on. ran a conservative 4psi off the spring for the first month then couldn't take it anymore. ran 7-8psi daily for the remainder, ran 10psi at the track. had a few boost spikes to almost 20psi while trying to dial in my joe p mbc.
motor ran roughly 10-11,000 miles in those months.

had no issues with the motor and never retarded timing. always used premium.

then sold the motor to a local guy i know that's on these boards. he's been using it for the past couple of years with no problems. he now has cams in it but did juice it before with a 75shot i believe.

this is my h22a turbo experience.

also owned an 84.5mm ls vtec, t4 60-1, gsr. b series motors love boost.

 

Stock motor, Hondata s200b tuned by our shop, custom turbokit by our shop, kit has been on 6 or so months and no problems, 11 psi daily driver.

Are you running 9 or 11 psi, as it says in your sig? What are you making at 11 psi? 311 whp?

 

Gezz, that survey sucks. Seems like if you really need to go somewhere a turbo is a really bad idea...

 

11psi???? holy crap,i was told the ring lands couldnt hold above 7 or 8....well then i am definatley goin for the hondata now....thank you, that definatley made up my mind.....

 

I dynoed the car the day after we got the kit put on, untuned aside from turning up the fuel pressure enough to keep the duty cycle on the 450's I was running at the time, and it made 311 SAE (261.5 whp at our 5600ft altitude) at 9psi....

Since we tuned it I've been running 11psi with no problems, and based on the 1/4 times I'd wager it's making around 330-350 whp here, which is over 400 SAE
