Boosting F22B1 Major Question
Ok i'll get down to the point..
Specs: F22B1 (145hp)
-Stock internal
-Cam gear
-Pulleys
-Apexi V-AFC
-Intake
-DC Headers
-Straight Cat
I am putting a turbo kit together for my F22B1.
1-Should i get JE Pistons (just the pistons no rods) to lower my compression down? (where can i get a how to for pistons, CUZ I WANNA DO IT MY SELF)(DO I REALLY NEED THIS FOR 8-10 PSI?)
2-Wat kind of internal work do i need to boost? (parts i need to get)
I am getting
-Air Research Turbo T3 .63 a/r (oil cooled)
-30x6x2 intercooler w/ 2.5 inlet and outlet
-Hks ssqv bov w/ flange
-Deltagate Wastegate
-Custom turbo manifold w/ T3 turbo flange, and DeltaGate flange
-Vortec FMU 10:1 or 12:1
-Custom pipings
-Greddy E-mange
-MSD A6 and 2 step (do i need this)
-Oil feed and return line
-Custom down pipe
-Apexi, HKS, Greddy Turbo Timer
Is there anything else i need to get for boost? How much psi can i push? And wat can i do to make it safe on my engine?
My goal is to push like from 8-10 psi

If its tuned you could run more than that. I have a friend thats running 15psi on a EX SOHC Vtec motor. Stock internals, just tuned and added fuel at the right time. At the track he runs 18psi on race gas. Its been running for years now
Okay well looking at your list there are a few things you dont need. Forget the FMU and hte Emanage. You have hte apex vafc which will work better than both of those. Just add some dsm 450cc injectors like 50 bucks from www.thepartstrader.com or ebay. As for stock internals I wouldnt boost more than 8lbs. But if you want to boost more get the pistons and then get your rocker arms polished shotpeened and matched to the pistons. Then maybe new sleeves or ge tyour deck closed. Thats pretty much all ya need. But tuning is where its all at. The better tuning the more you can boost. Have you thought about keeping your comp the same or raising it for boost?? This way you wont have to lose some of your bottom end and you wont have to boost as much to get the same power. I would also get a new fuel pump too. A msd ingition with boost retarder would be nice too. Good luck man.
