Id get Crowers if you can afford it, Eagle if you want a good rod for cheap. Both of them can handle alot of power.

As for the pistons, Id go with 10:1 with a 100-125 shot (DP of course) if you want a super nitrous drag car kinda thing, or my favorite 11:1 and a 75-100 shot. The latter gives you good off the bottle performance and a screamer on the juice. Just get big cams to go with it.....(like a stage 2)

i had been planning on doing a setup like this on my engine. IMO, if you're thinking that big, dont skimp on the rods.

Eagle rods will hold a 150 shot. Thats only upwards of 300whp, far shy of what the eagle rods can handle.

NirVTEC · 02-14-2004, 03:25 PM

I am planning the same thing.
Resleeved H22a4 block, mild crank work, eagle rods, CP pistons(~11:1)p&p head with custom cams, built IM with larger TB and nasty DP setup.
Would Crower Stage II even be good for a Nasty NOS setup? Guys on H-T.com say get custom grinds.
I am going to be THE guy that finds out how much NOS a built H22 can handle. What could the number be? 175? 200? 250?
I am very curious to find out..............

A 150 shot would be scary enough, much less a 250 shot!

LUDE LIKE WHOA · 02-15-2004, 01:47 PM

what is factory comp on the h22a

MugenPoweredLude · 02-15-2004, 03:22 PM

10:1 USDM H22
10.6:1 or 11:1 on JDM H22...i forget which one at the moment

Preyluder · 02-15-2004, 03:31 PM

10:1 on the h22a1/a4, 10.6:1 on the jdm h22a.

NXLude · 02-15-2004, 03:55 PM

If you want a 150 shot dont go over 10:1 CR. 10:1 is almost pushing it, but you could make it fly. Just get a Maximizer for sure to keep you system under control, it will need it.

Preyluder · 02-15-2004, 06:24 PM

Uh oh, that's a new term I'm not familiar with! What's a maximizer? Basically the same thing as a progressive controller or what?

NXLude · 02-15-2004, 07:58 PM

Yeah, the maximizer is the NX progressive controller. But IMO it the best because it monitors everything nitrous related, bottle pressure, temperature, flow, ignition stuff, you know, it rocks.

Preyluder · 02-15-2004, 08:09 PM

Damn, that's badass. I'll definitely go with that when I put the bottle in my ride. Thanks man.
