first off, the f23a1 block has 1 cam, and that won't allow you to boost 16lbs.
Also, you will need ported heads, forged pistons, rods, all the goodies. then maybe you can run 15psi. MAYBE. But not to burst your bubble, but at 8 psi you'r only gunna get 210whp at the most becuase our engines are wimpy, so it'll take more money to get to the big 300whp club ;) man i dream of those days. Next, you'll be needing a transmission cooler, and sooner or later, after running that much boost, you will end up without an automatic transmission. Yes your tranny will die at those high boost levels. Even if you boost your car to 8psi you're still putting a lot of stress on the tranny so it'll sooner or later die... correct me if im wrong on that.


so if ya have the money, get an ems and all the goodies and you'll have a sweet turboed accord at 15psi. If not, your turboed accord will still be cool lol

First off, unless you have some major coinage phat2k2accord, I wouldn't even attempt the H22 head on F23 block. Yes it'll lower your compression, but is it really worth all that work for 1 extra cam?

It doesn't matter if you have 1 cam or 4, you can boost 16lbs if you want. You don't need to port the head unless you really want to, but you will need forged pistons and rods if you want to make serious power and have it last. We've still yet to see an auto tranny die while under boost, apparantly they handle it just fine. You're actually puting more stress on the engine itself than the tranny.

The amount of boost you can safely run depends on how good the tuning is to get you there.
