Default Cheap Turbo?

hi, i have an F22b2 (i think). it's a non-vtec, 2.2, sohc, 94 LX engine.

i did a search and couldn't find anything.

but, if i wanted to turbo this engine (say a small # like 3psi, because i want a reliable boost that wont blow my engine, and i won't have to do anything to my internals), what would i need? i was reading somewhere i could use a mitsubishi eclipes turbo or something like that. i'd like to spend as little as possible.

i have no idea where to start on what i'd need. (engine n00b )

thanks

3psi will not yeild you much power for the price you will put into this. 6 is very safe and worth the money. You will need to start with a list of stuff to look for and to buy.

Manifold
Downpipe
Charge pipes
Intercooler
Fuel pump
Fuel return/feed lines
Turbo
Wastegate internal or external
Some sort of fuel managment fmu/afc hack
BOV

if you plan to autoX that sucka, dont even turbo it, you need to press the brake before it would even spool up.
