I need some help, I've been searching the whole website and can't find specific answers. I don't know if I'm searching the wrong part or what. But my question is do you need to install forged pistons when installing a turbo on the stock f22a block? I don't really know for sure what I want to do with my car as of now, I kinda want to turbo it, but dont want to deal with killing my engine by not installing forged pistons. Anyone know the safe amount of boost.

Im not to educated in the boost/turbo department but im sure some one will answer your question. logically speaking, If you were to install a set of forgerd pistons, that would increase the life of your engine
. Im not sure if its necessary but it would sure be a plus in your build.

When you go turbo i would jus to be on the safe side as well as the rest of the engine tooLast edited by Brian0288; 09-15-2009, 05:45 PM.Comment

You could ask a member who has a turbo cb7... Like Accord SiR... or an other turbo member

Yes you can boost the f22 with stock internals.Originally posted by Boostdprobe91 View Post
but first you need to know:
your power goal.
your budget.
and how reliable you want it to be .Comment

you will be told that the ring lands on the stock pistons will not hold up...as that's what's come up when it's been asked...all the times it's been asked.
but it all depends on the amount of boost you run I suppose. I don't boost though...just quoting what's been said.__

The ringlands fail from detonation not boost psi - I.e tuning issue, thats why everyone says don't boost around on a basemap.Originally posted by bcjammerx View Post
So yes stock pistons are OK
Op, You don't NEED forged pistons, However they will help when you decide to up the HP goals later down the track.

You can boost a moderate amount on stock internals. The health of the engine will determine how long it lasts. Generally, turbo causes an engine to wear out faster. It's just more abuse than the engine is designed for (it's still more forgiving than revving it to the moon, though).
When you reach a certain level, you're going to want stronger pistons and rods, and possibly stronger sleeves. It gets expensive when you open up the engine... but that's the price you pay for power and reliability.

My goal for the car is to have a very reliable honda accord that will last for a while while still has a lot of power. I expect it, hope it will last atleast a year on stock internals at low boost. I repeat low boost like 7-10psi MAX don't want to push it much more than that. I really just want a fast car. In other word I would be happy with a fast all motor car aswell just all depends on my budget at the time.Comment

thats the weird part. "I just want a fast car"
you will always think your car is slow, especially when someone else flies by you. so here is the route I went.
boosted my stock f22 on a dsm kit just to learn more about turbos and the components associated with it. helped me get to know what I needed. now I got a boosted h23 dsm kit and lovin it. next will be a full build. is nice to learn what I have on engines I knew were gunna be toasted.
the f22 actually lasted quite some time until my addiction kicked in.
reliable at 10psi. But I wanted to know what 16 could do.
and I found out for 3 days! soooo its your call my friend!
biggest helping factor in my boost addiction was a backup car. much needed IMO!MadLab Racing

Honestly, when boosting an old car like this... hell, when boosting any car that wasn't designed for it... it's ALWAYS good to have a second car. I would never boost my only car, unless I could ride my bike to work!
