- Fri Apr 06, 2012 10:29 am #301092 I know Im stating the obvious, but its all in the build and the tune...I dont see why it isnt possible to DD a 450hp turbo GSR...just make sure you understand that if you daily ANY turbo vehicle it usually cost more to drive daily than the N/A counterpart...EXPECT something to go wrong, minor or major...I like the idea of boost (more for your money)..I just see it as more to go wrong..thats just my personal OPINION...build it 100%, tune it 110%, you should be good to go.

P.S. - I would go with a more conservative tune for a vehicle that is being driven daily.

I ran 320whp daily 10psi stock internals

- Tue Mar 11, 2014 11:54 am #343306 the thing that most people neglect to state is that you aren't running 450whp on a 450whp car the whole time. with a boosted Honda, if you drive it like you have some sense, it would see 450whp maybe 10 seconds at a time. if you did 4 pulls a day it would only see that for 40 seconds. the rest of the time you'd be running around 150hp like a stock engine. build It to hold the power levels you want to hold and treat the car well. you shouldn't have any problems.
