How much Power can the D-Series block handle before it blows? I have a friend that turbo'd it to 225 and it blew up. If the internals are in good condition and it was tuned right how much can the stock internals handle before they are no longer reliable.

And also how much boost can they handle? Could you use a stackable headgasket to lower the compression to increase boost?

I know someone out there has tried this before, just want some input before i put my turbo on the car.

 

a 75 shot blew my motor a while back

 

they cant handle much but with the right tuning you can push them to their limits

 

thier was a crx from orlando that i saw on honda-tech

that was a stock internals on a z6 with a greddy headgasket

that was over 300hp and running low 11's

just had alot of tunning and dyno time

 

I'm not so sure believe that one.

 

Jan @ garage advances car is the one your speaking of. It blew up shortly after the 11 sec pass. It will be back.

 

yeah my girl had her car tuned @ Garage advance, they do some crazy things with stock blocks. so keep it under 10 psi to be safe or is that still 2 much, i planned on taking it to Al (garage advance) to let them tune it anyway. just wanted a better street ride without sacraficing my daily driver.

 

my bro got a t3 with his zc for about a couple months at about 7psi and still running pretty well

 

the rods can handle about 225 hp but just as long as you dont have any detonation you should be fine for up to 10-12 psi... just make sure youre getting enough fuel for ur setup
