I really wanna boost to 10psi on my h22. its a 92-95, so its got a closed deck (whatever that means?). now i know its not a good idea by any means to boost a stock h22 to 10 psi, so what would i need to SAFELY run this?
i need to drive around 50 miles/day, 7 days/week so i cannot have to be worrying about the engine being hurt. i mean, i could go to like 8 psi, but the goal here is to be boosted on a budget with some good torque. i already am looking at a t3 of some sort. i dont like the idea of high revving to get the most out of a turbo (ie. t5 or even t4) at all.
but i was thinking if i just got the engine sleeved and new cam shafts, would that be sufficient or what should i get to safely boost to 10psi or so???
could i simply buy a boost controller and use 7psi on daily driving and 10psi for weekend racing?</TD></TR></TABLE>

If you want the safest type of set-up and have the money here is what I recommend:
basic turbo kit
t04e .50 comp trim .58a/r t3 trim turbo (great for street)
walbro intank 255 fuel pump
Hondata s200b
Boost Controller - Apexi AVC-R is what I recommend
With those things I would boost 8psi daily and 10psi at the track given the motor is tuned with higher octane fuel on 10psi. The problem with boosting the H series are the weak ringlands, but they put down great hp #'s. Personally I would not go above 9psi with a stock motor but that's just me...
Do a compression and cylinder leakdown test before you go turbo to make sure your internals are holding up well before you add the increased stress to them.
