Turbo question.

I just have a question I am getting ready to buy a revhard stage 2c kit for my gs-r hatch. I would like to know if I could run 12psi as a daily driver with stock pistons and rods without having to sleeve it? I would also have a block guard.

Thanks in advance

Scott

if it comes with a good standalone and you know someone who can tune it realllly well, then maybe. But that seems like a bit much for a daily driver.

Im not familiar with the Rev hard kits.
You will need standalone which Im SURE it does not come with. You run 12psi you will blow your motor w/in a few months.
I woulnd't bring it over 7psi.

You will not need a block guard. Or sleeves.
8psi+Hondata should net you some SERIOUS numbers.
Keith made 285whp with his gsr hatch.

i was gonna say....12 psi seems like alot for any non turbo motor. I know my engine can handle around 12psi really carefully tuned, but it wouldn't last too horribly long.

With Hondata our motors, even with stock internals can last a very long time. Probably as long as a stock N/A motor.
12psi can be run... carefully tuned. It's just pushing the envelope on pump gas.

I know a guy that has been running 280WHP on his hatch for three years now on stock internals tuned with Hondata. He has even brought it up to 300WHP at the track a couple of times.

I dont know that motor is not made for turbo i mean it didnt come that way stock. Stock turbo cars have low compression to compensate for the boost pressure. So what I am saying is that your motor has high compression and with a turbo and running all that boost you will have even more compression and a high possibility of blowing your motor
