actually this thread brings up a question that i had the other day....

i've heard about the whole "you have to resleeve an H22 if you do pistons". Why is that. Is the whole block aluminum? Does it have to do with the closed deck?

fiberized FRM sleeves... aftermarket moly rings will eat them alive.

there is one forged piston manufacturer that builds pistons specifically for the stock h22 sleeve, mahle i think.

FRM sleeves are actually stronger than iron sleeves the problems with boosting an H22 will be failure of the ringlands. I've seen two h22's crack lands at 5 psi. One was a rev hard kit it was a show car and rarely driven (lasted 1.5 yrs) the other was turbonetics driven moderately hard (lasted 3 months) both engines had under 60,000 mi.
Don't be surprised when they go, not saying it'll will definatly happen just saying it may.

ok maybe I have calculated this wrong but as per RC engineering injectors flow rate calculation sheet
http://rceng.com/technical.htm#WORKSHEET

450 ccm injectors, at 50 psi of fuel pressure, 80% duty cycle and BSFC of 0.65, will support no more than 226 HP..... that leaves the DSM injectors a good choice for only the D series , LS engines and such.

so in theory, for 350 HP (around what you get with 8-9 psi on a well tuned stock h22) if you don'T want to crank up fuel pressure and duty cycle to unsafe levels, you would need 700 ccm injectors. THat'S just theory though. But in real life, i have always maxed out 550 ccm's on h22's at around 8-9 psi. That's what's stopping me to keep cranking up the boost up.
MAybe the BFSC is more like 0.55-0.60 on a boosted h22.... that would make more sense.

Thats a problem with all honda pistons, not just h22's...but we still manage to tune them well and run them a long time. I assume your 'revhard kit' included a sweet FMU.

Theories are a fantastic good time, yet I prefer to go with my own real world experience. I've tuned plenty a 450cc injector + honda 4 banger setup. Those that could handle near 300whp, went near without any trouble from the injectors so long as we had a walbro in the tank.
