i do know that the h22a head is unbeatable and turbo loves VTEC lift. i doubt the f22b could support higher boost settings over the h22a. the FRM long term oil consumption problem is the only drawback of the h22a or turbo h22a.

You say you don't know anything about it yet you say you doubt it could support higher boost? How about lower compression for starters, and how about the fact the reason people resleeve when the boost H22As for higher boost is because they use aftermarket forged pistons, which is commonly known to screw up FRM sleeves. Draw back of FRM has nothing to do with oil consumption problems.
