What should I expect? (H22 turbo)
So my car is finally ready to be tuned. I just had the motor rebuilt- JE pistons, crower rods, darton sleeves and ferrea valves, springs and retainers for the head. This is what the setup is.
93 H22a
turbonetics t3/t4 intercooled
550cc injectors
greddy boost controller
Hondata s300
That's pretty much the basic setup aside from the small stuff, and the car is being dropped of tomorrow to be tuned and dyno by a very smart and experienced tuner with honda's and the hondata program. Since the motor is fully built I will be maxing out this turbo and wondering what I should expect for numbers and what kind of psi this turbo can handle. So if anyone has experience with a similer setup or any other info that would be great. thanks

What size is the turbo? There are tons of different sized T3/T4 turbos that all flow differently and have different efficiency ranges, so it would be impossible to estimate with the information you provided.
That is a pretty nice setup, though. I think that you would be able to come very close to maxing out those injectors.
Also, I hope you are running more aggressive cams to take advantage of the stiffer valvetrain.

sorry, It's a T3/T04B from the 92-96 prelude f-max kit found at turbokits.com. I bought the kit a while ago and can't find the slip with the actual specs. So I hope that much could help. thanks I read a while ago that stock cams are ok, so thats what I'm running. What do you think no good? What do you think would be best for my setup? Anything to make a little more power!

I had assumed that if you redid the entire valvetrain, you would want to take advantage of the stiffer springs and lower mass and run a more aggressive cam. A more aggressive cam tuned correctly would allow a higher redline and more power throughout the powerband.
