LS turbo HP limit on stock internals?

[ltrain]

whats the limit that can be reached using stock internalls with a turbo kit (drag or rev hard) can it handle 250 safely?

1 more thing what gains are expected with greddy kit

with the perfect set up and tuning yeah. i know some people that put 15 psi on stock ls block they hit 12s in the 1/4
personally i would build the block first

It is possible to make 250 on stock internals. There was a guy on HT that made 300 on stock internals. It all depends on how well te rods hold up.

With the Greddy kit around 200, and still pass emissions

go to this website www.tunedbylorange.com they did my buddies and he is at 14psi stock internals and is over 300whp but he has no a/c so he has a better flowing manifold and down pipe

Damn that LS did good, for have 157K!!!

all about the tuning.....personally i wouldn't run a stock ls motor that's HEALTHY with anymore than 9psi of boost.

damn...guess ima ponder this more...

I think 250 is a fair number for daily driving and reliability. Much more is possible with good tuning but i wouldn't consider 300+hp consistently reliable on all stock internals. One mishap with 15psi on stock Honda internals can easily cause a problem

anythn above 160hp will be fine for me...and perferable the more torque, the better.
