sorry bout the huge pics, but it does add a little to the enjoyment.

I take it you had a build planned on a new motor already?

Overall, with hondata s300 tune the stock engine will take up to 10psi, or about 215hp, anything more seemed to bend stock rods. Never did put holes in pistons at 15psi tho...

- Thu Apr 16, 2009 2:46 am #110923 I like carnage pictures.

I have run upto 18psi on my stock D16z6 w/ a SC14 supercharger and just broke a couple ring lands.

I had to have the S/C on all the time and the throttle floored to barely make it home.

Lucky I did not shatter anything. My sleeves still look good so I still have a backup bottom end minus the piston rings.

The rule of thumb (haha boondock saints) for stock internals is 7lbs I believe

lol heres my rule of thumb for this. (for stock motors)

act as if PSI was a PENIS.

5 psi (5 inches) really wouldnt hurt a chick

8 psi (8 inches) thats just about damn good enough and it CAN hurt some chicks (engines)

10 psi (10 inches) GOD DAMN SHE WONT LAST LONG!

12 psi (lol 12 inches) FORGET IT.

but this also depends on turbo size. example bigger turbos you can prolly only push 4 pounds vs ebay turbos push 8 to get the same results..

its a on going type of thing that can be debated all night.. theres many stock motors running on like 20 psi and shit and still running it has alot to do with LUCK and just how well the motor is from the factory over all




i am at 7 pounds with forged pistons and some block work just be on the super safe sside..

so go figure

dont drive untuned!

also keep in mind the more boost you run the harder teh wear and tear is....

boost doesnt always BLOW your motor but can slowly wear it out. example top fuelers have about 7,000 horse power. and they rebuild the motor after every 1/4 mile run. reason for it is 7k hp trying to grenade the motor.. i know its a big difference from 7k to 215 but it still contributes.
