Turbod h23 worth it or not?
One turbo, ceramic ball bearing; those cheap ebay turbos are sleeve bearing turbos, and they don't spin as freely as a ball bearing turbo so it takes them longer to spool...
The more boost you're running the less reliable it's going to be. For a street car that you want to last it's just not worth running major boost. 10 psi should be about the max for a street car ( I know I will catch some crap for that one, but I think it really is plenty of power ). That will put the engine far beyond an H22. At higher boost you're asking for a broken crankshaft, axles, transmission problems and possibly detonating. At 10psi or lower the stock internals will suffice if you get a good tune, but that will entail getting an EMS (i.e. Hondata, etc) and getting it professionally tuned on a dyno, money better spent there than wasting it on internal parts that are just going to give out anyway on high boost. Only a few aftermarket parts (besides the turbo system) will be necessary, such as fuel system upgrades, sensors and injectors (and a good clutch).
