spraying on boost actually helps cool off the intake charge...

btw, the intake charge temp is a major determining factor in detonation, thats why a FMIC is important, so a -------------------

all in all, nos on a turbo is good as long as the block can handle the power.

in order of weakest link from top to bottom
-rods
-pistons
-cylinder walls
-head gasket (especially open deck)

stock honda crank is good to 1000 HP

(recommend main/rod bearing change, use KING)

(recommend copper head gasket)

(recommend most sleeves other than "golden eagle")

(recommend crower rods over eagle rods)

(recommend JE "forged dish pistons" + JE rings)

the last 2 are pretty much a tie, on an h22a the FRM walls will disintegrate relatively quickly under boost, causing serious oil loss in a short period of time, the engine will still run initially, as opposed to a head gasket blown due to detonation, so depending on how u look at it, the head gasket will make your engine not run, and stock cylinder wall will make your engine run a little longer but burn oil until the level drops below pickup and you blow your turbo and/or a main/rod bearing.

a stock h22a1 will take a 120 shot of direct port NOS once in a while, with good plugs, good oil, and good stock injectors.
otherwise...boom

do i recommend spraying a 120 shot on your stock h22a1...NO

but it has been done before without any immediately evident issues...

except the issue of running a 12.7-12.9 on a stock motor with a 120 shot of NOS

GOOD FUEL MANAGEMENT AND TUNING ARE CRUCIAL IN MAKING GOOD BOOSTED POWER OUT OF A "HONDA" and/or a "DOHC VTEC" MOTOR
