psi doesnt matter....every setup is different(turbo sizes/intakes/exhaust) anything can change a setup you can't just say stock sleeves with hold this much psi....

Re: 402whp ls vtec
unfortunately im not so good with motors i just do metal fab at my shop. i had a friends shop do the motor on this car. i will not mention names but they had 2 motors blow before this one. just basic greddy kits on stock ls vtec setups. nothing spectacular. they could not find the problem why the motor kept blowing so i received a "built motor", that was my consolation prize for having my car down for 6 months. i was frustrated with the shop so i figured lets see what happens when i put the turbo kit on myself. i finished the manifold and put it all together. i came to realize when this car was on the dyno the shop i originally went to never changed the stock fuel pump. while on the dyno the tuner changed the pump but oh well f-ed this motor up too.
and im a computer idiot still cant manage those pics sorry!

LOL Quick I was think the same thing! Theres only a couple I know and trust..Your not that far from Innovative Motorworks...Great guys/Tuners, or Evans Tuning....You would have alot better luck going to a shop that tunes hondas everyday

There are more competent places in PA than just Evans. Although he'll do the job just fine.
Something else must have been up then.

Re: 402whp ls vtec
evans has a reputation.... most people say my tuner, and what they should be saying is "my friend with a laptop who kinda thinks he knows what he is doing" tuned it....thats why there was the sudden change in attitude....and just for claification evans was not the shop that blew it up twice or built it
i came to realize when this car was on the dyno the shop i originally went to never changed the stock fuel pump.

Re: 402whp ls vtec
I heard about this car. Looks good, better running. It was first state motor sports that built your motor. Apologies for giving names, but I don't want anyone else to have to go through this kind of trouble.
