Default H22A enigne?

How much boost could the H22A engine handle stock?

i believe that all the kits come with a 10 psi setting on them...which is probably safe...

depends on the tuning you put into it...i know someone who blew his motor on 7 psi. so even that is not safe without proper tuning.

Hmm if your boosting always got to recomend low compression tuning is the key....

I think that goes for any motor regardless whether it be a B, D, or H series... It's all about tuning... We used to run 15psi on a stock ZC motor... But I'm not saying to run 15psi... 7-10psi would be the average to be on the safe side.. Even 10psi.. you're pushing it.

Are you kidding??? Hahahah say buh bye to your ringlands!

H22as I wouldn'yt dare passing 9psi on a fully tuned setup...you should read the blown motors list over on PO.com...

Is it right that for turbo applications people chose none VTEC over VTEC, as in LS not SiR?

Forgive the translation inaccuracy.

Basically, you want as lower compression as possible and the B16a2 is too high?

That is true to an extent. If you are going on stock internals, usually the non-vtec engines have a lower compression. But people put low compression pistons in B18C and B16A to boost safely.

The debate of vtec with turbo or turbo with out vtec still goes on. Compresion ratio needs to be lowered on the B's and H's since they have a pretty high comp. ratio from the get go. The H22a has a 10:6 and the B is some where in that range as well (not a b series guy so I really dont know). Some say with a low 10 and good tunning your fine but most recomend going with a lower comp. to allow for more tunning diffencies if they should exist.

Just to note. USDM H22a's have only 10:1 compression. The JDMs are 10.6
