My computer is being a bitch and wont update honda-tech for me on the prelude specific forum, so hopefully someone has some type of experience here on dragva.....anyway, starting out i am going to be using a somewhat junkyard turbo kit consisting of: t3 60 trim turbo, equal length manifold, tial 35 mm wastegate, dsm bov, fmu, volvo side mount IC, and a boost controller.... I am on stock internals as well as a stock fuel system... my question is how much boost can be run safely with these things and on a stock fuel system.....please do not reply things like upgrade your fuel system and run 7 psi because i know that... i am just asking with what i have, how much can i run?


My motor is a jdm h22a closed deck with like 40-50k on it

 

ps: all seals and gaskets were replaced about 4k ago

 

get a kit...do it right

 

keep in mind your compression is high....still alright for boost, but not that high

10.6:1 as opposed to the usdm 10:1

www.preludeonline.com

the best 6.50 you will ever spend.

 

Id feel better about it if i built my own kit which i intend to do....

 

Compression is the least of a preludes problems when it comes to boost
#1 is weak ringlands
#2 is weak valvetrain
#3 is the compression

 

no

 

actually yes

 

do your research on h22's....the BIGGEST problem is the ringlands....2nd biggest is valvefloat doggie, 3rd is the high ass compression....dont tell me no, just because i am asking how much boost with that set up is recommended doesnt mean i dont know anything about h22's....that is why i was hesitant to asking this question...because there are not many people on here who know about turbo h22's up and down like they do about sr20's and b series motors....besides the newer series of honda motors (f20c and k series in general) you find boosted h22's the most rare

so once again....all i fucking want is an answer if u do not know then do not reply some fucking stupid ass shit


that is all

 

and thank you for the advice above derrick and mach30sir
