i have a 95 h22a1 that has eagle h beam rods with pistons and darten sleeves.. the crank and block have been balanced, and it runs at 12 1/2:1 compression. i do have head work such as port and polish springs lifters valve job etc.. but i run stock cams, but soon will be running stage 3 skunk 2 cams and cam gears.. with it dyno tuned it makes roughly 300hp, now im looken to put on a t60 turbo setup, full setup, but i still half to drive the car once inawhile to work and on the streets and i just was wondering if with a setup like that if it would still be relaible...

 

Bullshit your running 300 hp N/A i want to see the dyno sheet and 12.5:1 is way to high to run a turbo try like 9:1

 

as soon as i get back to san diego ill have the dyno sheet.. thats ware my car is... im haven it painted, and the rest of the engine work done to it.. i should be able to post it around july to august due to im on deployment in the phillipeans.. the engine was originally built by manny ferman out of east coast customs of virgina.. ill post it then..

 

Anyone who says that you HAVE to run low compression to have a turbo setup that makes a lot of hp is full of shit and doesn’t know what they are talking about. If you are the best tuner in the world then you could take a 18:1 cr engine put a turbo on it and crank out 1000hp w/o blowing it up and do it at 15psi (im being facetious). But I really have seen a prelude h22a with 12:1 put down 590whp at 17psi. The good thing about high compression turbo is you can put down ALOT MORE power with ALOT LESS boost. The downside is that if its not tuned JUST RIGHT it will VERY easily blow up. Im not too sure about a t60, sounds like it would be too big. Im planning on a t3/t4 but I know someone who pulled off their t3/t4, only changed the manifold and swapped to a SC61 turbo and put down something like +30whp at the same boost. It’s all in how much you want to spend. Low compression turbo is much safer. High compression is much more delicate almost like a bomb ready to explode at any second.

 

yeah know what your talking about before you post O.K h:

 

You can expect to run race fuel only with a setup like that if you aren't already. Even then, I wouldn't recommend compression that high unless you have an incredibly good tuner and access to high octane race fuel.

 

why do you need to go that fast?

 

because we all play need for speed and watch fast and the furious too much :P

 

What kind of question is that? Is that not why we modify our cars, to make them faster? (i guess you could go all show and no go but thats why imports are always being made fun of) The old saying Too much is never enough still rings true. If you started out like me with a bone stock accord, I used to get beat by stock civic ex's. So I put I/H/E and I was beating them. But soon i was used to that it was no longer enough so I got the N2O and started racing faster cars, si, gst. Well they couldnt keep up for the most part (unless they were as modified or more so than i was, you get the picture) so, I find myself racing even faster cars mustangs and camaros but always seeming to be just slower. So I do a h22a swap w/N2O and im beating really modified mustangs and lightly modified camaro's. Now im going turbo, But no matter how fast my car gets, it doesnt take very long for my car to just be normal to me. I always have to do somthing else to make it faster or to me it just becomes slow because no matter how fast anyones car is there is always one out there thats faster.

 

you wont be driving to work with stage three cams
