Hey im looking to turbo a b17 with arp rod bolts and head bolts and i Am wondering what would be the highest and safest psi for stock internals. I am thinking about runing 10 psi and i want to know how long it will last. My goal is 300 hp.
Thanks

You cant go by PS! alone... 10psi on a small turbo is much different than 10psi on a large. Do you have a turbo or kit in mind?

What do u think about name brand turbo and manifold and ebay piping and intercooler?

Go to the Forced Induction forum and read the FAQs and every sticky. When you're done reading go back and re-read it 3 more times.

If you buy intercooler piping and intercooler separately from the turbo and manifold, you will run into fitment issues and have to pay a fabber to basically make your i/c piping out of the ebay piping kit. If I were you, I'd just look for a complete used kit. They seem to be everywhere.

Check the Marketplace.

I don't know. Can it? Have you at least done a compression test? Better start reading up now.

Its rebuilt with acl race bearings and arp rod bolts and headstuds

And? Does it have the stock pistons/rods? Do a compression test. At least verify the engine is truly healthy. Stock B-series are good for 300HP easy on stock internals.
