Hey guys,
Im curious to know if anyone has done a write-up for building a H22 in preparation for FI? Id like to do it myself, but need a nice how-to on building it. TIA

Use the search function there is much info on this topic also look in the pinned Essential Links thread.

 

there is a turbo prelude thread linked in the essential prelude links at the top of the forum. Start there at least

 

What do you want? Prelude that breaks down? Or a daily driver?

 

daily driver that i can run low as hell psi (like 6) and 10psi for weekends. I plan to have this for another 50k miles, so i dont wanna do it the wrong way. ive searched and looked through the "essential prelude links" about the turbo stuff, but noone truely covers much about making the engine able to last another 50k. (i only got 46k on it right now)

some guy about 2 months ago helped me a bit, but i need to know more... exactly what parts do i NEED and what SHOULD i have to get the engine prepped for FI of 10psi MAX???

 

Any turbo kit nowadays will suffice.

 

for 10psi you need to sleeve and get some forged pistons.

 

what turbo we talkin about? T3/T4. Ten lbs on a stock will be fine. Tune it first

 

I would have to say your tunning will be more important. Anything over 9psi is gonna need some prepping of the bottom end.

Depends on who you talk to.

IMO, spend some money tuning and you can run 10psi occasionally easy.

 

i appreciate the optimistic look, but i want to make this engine last another 50K at least on boost and want to know what exactly i ought to do as far as engine building goes... i figure i should get darton sleeves and skunk2 rods and type s pistons. would this be sufficient? oh yeah, i already got a walbro 255 installed..

i wanna get a checklist going of how much things are going to cost, and what products i should get to prepare for FI.

 

anyone?

 

Aight... then I'll go ahead and start a little thread for you.

 

They have FMR sleeves anything over 8psi needs to be sleeved and forged pistons

 

dont run high compression thats never good... try to get it to the 9's or 8's its better on the block can take more damage

 

Wow, great job dude. You just responded to 5 year old post by a person who hasn't posted here in almost 4 years with 10 year old information
