wow again more bs... ....... and just for the record a stock ls holds 9psi no probs

Really??? So stock LS will hold 9psi no problem with this S378, right?



PSI is irreverent, when you are talking about what a motor can handle. Psi is only a measurement of restriction, it does not measure CFM. I have found the easiest way to measure what a motor can handle is based off of horse power, not psi.

you can base it off what ever you like at the end of the day i know personally what a ls holds stock. i was refering to what a stock ls ecu can load psi. no ish you dont measure power of psi your not talking to a noob. and oh just for the record that bg372 you posted my buddy made close 500whp at 11psi just with bolt ons

Stock map sensor runs to just over 11psi not 9 and its not determined by the ecu so you might want not want to fill this thread with "more bs" And I wasn't talking about measuring power off of psi, I was talking about what a stock internal motor can handle, you can't say a motor can handle Xpsi and if you don't understand why then I am talking to a noob.

lol wow im guessing most people in this thread dont own a turbocharged honda. first of all a stock honda HG is fine, stock honda head bolts are fine, and stock honda rod bolts are fine(unless its an LS/VTEC and you want to spin the stock 8200rpm-8400rpm vtec rev limit). at 10.5:1 yes the motor is higher compression than most turbocharged engine but you will have no problem as long as the car is tuned properly. 250-300whp should be easily attainable on a healthy stock GSR motor. psi is meaningless so if anyone ever says i wouldnt boost more then "X psi", no offense but they know nothing about turbocharging a car. psi is a measure of restriction not an actual measure of how much air is flowing through the motor.

btw where do you live? maybe i can suggest a local tuner to you that might be able to help you a bit more.
