the cylinder walls aren't the problem in relation to boost. They just aren't compatible with forged pistons which is good for boost. The stock pistons ring lands is what makes them unable to take 10+ lbs as well as the my JDM h22a's 10.6 comp. When I built my motor this past spring, i anticipated most of this, and got JE piston with larger ring lands, and the head work dropped comp down to a hair below 9.9 according to the machine shopped who cc'ed the head. I want quick spool/ low boost mid 200's whp. I've seen drag kits/as well as fmax's kit on some preludes. I'm not comfortable with their fuel management setup as well as their exorbinate prices. I don't want a fmic, a smic is fine. I'm using hondata with a p72. i'm liking the garrett t28's. I have to research their compressor maps some more though. I want to buy a beginner's kit and put the rest together myself i.e. a kit with the manifold, turbo, piping and couplings, wastegate and blowoff. anything else that's absolutely crucial? I can get a walbro for cheap, and engine management is covered. Turbo guys, tell me what else I need and where i can get these "beginner" kits, something like Slow Boy is cool.
In regards to Mike, hey it's cool that you post whatever you want, but all I'm saying is that it's not productive. If you think its a bad idea, tell me why. I'm open to suggestions, that's why I posted.
I would love an STI but i have three grand, not 30 grand. You're right, traction is a huge issue but i don't want huge numbers. My LSD compensates well for 190 whp, so hopefully another 30-50 whp wouldn't be too much.
