f22b vs h22a1
well i'll keep you guys updated, right now I'm just working on the internals. Sucks though because if you change the pistons you HAVE to get the blocked sleeved$$$$. If your just going to run a low amount of boost I wouldn't really build it, unless of course your me and love to spend all your money on your cars

the way I understand it to be is that the factory sleeves are aluminum and the factory pistons are coated over the aluminum so it works just fine. But when you upgrade the pistons, there is nothing to coat them with and therefore aluminum sleeves don't mix with aluminum pistons. However, I'm hoping there is going to be a better way around this because I think you can just do some type of cheap sleeve job. Jeff is checking this out for me, I'll let you know what he somes up with 
If anyone has any helpful info on this, please don't be shy let me know!!!

about 10 lbs, even though it will be built to run more. I want it to be somewhat reliable with the option to run more if and when I want! This will be my first car that's turbo, even though I have driven both Jeff's and Beaus boosted CRX's! So I want to kind of take it slow, I'm a puss
