    Thats why i havent jumped and bought either of them. The first one looks from ebay and im not down with that, ive heard too many bad things about ebay ones. and the second one says srt turbo that he had on his honda just not sure what honda car it was. and i knew preludes didnt come turbo'd =P. but thanks for the advice i kinda figured id end up in the 3 to 4'gs route eventually =/

    Ye i wouldnt buy the first one. If it was legit you would have more than one picture of it showing all sides. Most name brand turbos advertise there name clearly on the turbo. Some name brand turbos come without em but i honestly wouldnt would stay away from the first one. You can buy turbos kits for preludes someplace has to have them. Course its going to be like he said in the 3-4k range but it honestly be worth it, to have peace in knowing your turbo wont kick out on you.

    First ya should make a goal for yourself. No goal= wasted money. How much hp do you want out of it? Is this going to be a strip or street car?

    Ive had a goal already =P. I just want no more then 400Hp, if i do race it it will be on the strip on import nights and maybe Autocross it. but i do change my mind alot but i dont wanna get crazy with HP cuz i dont want a roll cage and so on.

    Id imagine you couldnt run to much boost on your stock internals because id imagine it has a high compression. I could be wrong tho i dont no alot about honda engines. Id check out some prelude forums and see what there running and if your goal is 400hp look around and see what others are running who have gone past it or are close to it.

    its actually the f22 that has the thin walls and doesn't do well with boost.
    the trend was to take the f22 block and slap on the h22 head as a cheap alternative than buying the entire h22 swap. that's when the cylinder walls became a problem. everyone boosted their hybrid 22s like they were normal h22s and the hybrids would blow. The H22 is a stout little more... especially if it is fresh. If you're going to boost it, then you need to rebuild it. Tear it all the way down, and rebuild it the right way, you'll be so much happier in the long run.
    My experience, on the rebuild, you can then get rid of some of the emissions things and re route vaccum lines to lower the chances of boost/vacuum leaks and just make things simple.

    as for turbo size, it depends on the rest of the build and how you want the motor to respond. I've built a motor for a customer that didn't want to make boost until the higher RPMS so it could drive it comfortably everyday, so we were able to use a much larger turbo. I've had another one want as little turbo lag as possible, so we used a t28... it all just depends...

    h22's hate boost, the cylinder walls are too weak.
    I know from experience

    it dont matter how thin the walls are or what turbo you use its all about tune if you got a good tuner a stock block should get atleast 60,000 mile before needing a rebuild I would rec atleast a girdle so the cyl walls wont shift under boost if you dont have cash for sleeves remember the good tuner part
