Boosting H22

[JDMjunkie]

so i have a couple questions. i plan on turboing my stock H22 and running 5-6 lbs so i dont blow it up lol, are there any companies that make a thicker headgasket to up the compression a bit? or can i stack two on top of each other? im assuming probably not, and are there any good manifolds out there? i dont wanna spend 500 bucks on one.

Why would you want to LOWER the compression ratio? I'm not sure how H22s run on boost, but before I go for a metal or different HG I'd try without it.

read up..sounds liek your boosting for just the hell of it..and the cool sound...your heasdgasket question is dumb...an oem one will be just fine...you do realize you can blow your motor on 5-6 pounds right?...ive seen 14 psi on a stock h22 go fine..its all in the tuning..but for longevity id suggest some insurance via a sleeved block..forged pistons and rods....h22 boost isnt somethin you jus jump into..its a complicated motor imo for boost..

thank you for the links, im boosting because i want to. i understand it can blow at 5-6 psi, but i plan on getting a very good tune and researching everything before i do anything.
