@@AceofCentral The motor originally had 70K miles on it before turbo and now its at 120K but its burning oil now and Im going to build one with sleeves rods and pistons. It still runs good but lost a little compression on cylinder 3 at 120psi from 180 of what it used to be. Its still boosts and drives but its tired the motor. lol SO i figure 2 and a half years it should last at 11psi with every 3,000 miles oil change.
There's a lot of dumb meme stuff in these comments. Lots of people repeating things they read online. If you plan to stick to H series and don't want to sleeve; here's some real advice. Look into Nippon racing cast nitrous/turbo pistons and their custom H beam rod combo. Cast works fine with FRM sleeves and the pistons are significantly stronger than stock, as are the rods obviously. Cut the rings loose. At least .020 top gap with a few thou more second. Run at least .0015 vert clearance on the rods and send it. Cheap build and it will live happy up to 500, maybe more.
@@lowbxxst Awesome. Contrary to other things posted here about stock engines and "ringlands, FRM sleeves bad, etc", the real reason H series like to pop ringlands is because Honda designed them with very tight top ring gaps(.010 to .014). As soon as you put enough boost/heat into them the ends will expand/touch and totally seal the cylinder. All the pressure is forced onto the ringlands which break as a result. That's why I often see high mileage engines do better than fresh 40-50k mile JDM ones. A lot of heartache could have been avoided over the years if people just pulled the slugs out and cut the rings looser.
How much timing were you running WOT? I have a stock h22a that maxed out 1000cc injectors on 18 lbs out of an sxe362 borg. This stock motor makes some thick jam @ 17⁰ timing wide open.
@@lowbxxst Guess not. It’s kind of funny though because I am building a timing map for a motorcycle right now. A 2023 gsxr 1000 with a data logger & woolich racing software. I like superbikes!

Any news on yours? I own a 97 prelude and I'm planning on rebuilding my motor and putting new pistons my main question is can the transmission handle that much power too?
Hey cool video. Whats that gauge thing sticking to the window and what brand? Thats pretty cool bro and saves a lot of space instead of having a pillar mount.
hey ive been trying to find the exact build list of this civic and what it took to make the 400whp . Were these numbers made on e85 ? Im only asking because i have a built bottom end H22 with a busted ebay turbo setup currently but im about to start updating parts and really dialing it in. My end goal is to 400whp reliably on a relaxed tune. Any info or advice you could give would be appreciated.
Thanks for getting back to me ! I understand that you didn't open the block but what about turbo setup, size, custom turbo manifold ? Catless ? What octane was it tuned on if not e85 ?

Why do lots of honda owners sit so low that they barely see out of the car. I laugh at them all the time, they're like girls. You all 165 cm tall? I own 2 civics so this is not coming from honda hater.
Thats a myth that came around in the early 2000s. The FRM cylinder is not weak at all. Out of all the older Honda blocks, the first gen H22A with the semi closed deck is one of the strongest 4cyl blocks Honda has ever made, next to the F22C and F20C which also have FRM cylinders. People are making over 800 whp on the stock FRM cylinders. They can do this now because of the FRM compatible Mahle gold pistons. The H22's OEM cast piston is the most common point of failure on boosted applications, the ring lands collapse
Would have honestly left it at 300hp on stock block. But, you let everyone else know what not to do.
Im on 12psi 381whp on E85 for 2 years now on my fully stock H22A4.
how many miles? i wanna turbo mine it has 201k but not sure if its a good idea

This didn't sound right from the start. The motor sounds coarse.
I always heard h22s limit was 350whp because of weak ring lands, with that blow by coming from the catch can I’d say you broke a ring
