Default turbo jdm h22a and other opinions wanted

Im switchin from a jdm b16 II delsol to a jdm h22a 95 civic hatch. Ive been looking at turbos found some cheap shit on ebay but i think il go with a piece togather setup with a percision turbo (not sure which one) and a sparco intercooler. Do u think i should switch the seats from the sol (which im selling) to the civic or would it not be worth the hassle. I also plan on running
enkie rpf1 15 (they weigh like 9 pds a piece). Have u guys heard anything about problems with the jdm h22a timing belt tensioner. I would appreciate any feedback.

Last time I heard, the H22 wasn't a choice motor for boost.

Last time i heard u should always take advice from dumbasses on the internet with a grain of salt.

I've visited that website before and its pretty informative but i wasnt going all ghetto like them i plan on spending some good money on a turbo, manifold, and intercooler. I just wont some input on what type of turbo should i run and maybe a good place to go for manifolds

thats what people say about b18c5's. yet people still boost those. it's all in how you build and tune it.

exactly. it may not take to boost as well as other motors in its stock form, but if you were to build the motor up a little bit, it should handle boost just as good as anything else.

Those of you who say the H22a can be built for boost are right, but then again you can build anything to handle boost with the right amount of $$$...

Not sure if you know this or if you are planning on actually "building" the motor for boost, but the H22a's have FRM cylinder walls, makes "building" for boost even more difficult and expensive... There is a thread on here I think about the FRM cylinder walls in the h22a's...
