Hey guys,

I have a healthy b18c5 and was just wondering what would be a safe hp range on stock internals? I know that this probably isn't the smartest idea but some people said that the pistons and rods for this motor are pretty good so is it possible to get some good power without the risk of breaking something? Sorry if this has been covered, I tried searching and couldn't find anything. I'm just a kid and this will be my first build so any help would be great.

Thanks

Covered many times.300-400 would be the whp if the stock internals.Either way sisnce its a nice motor i would go fo 300-330 to be safe cause its not a cheapo b16.
If you are not planing to upgrade the internals later you can do it preaty chep with a cast iron manifold and a t3/t04e 57 trim.

Thank you. Yes I will be upgrading the internals later, just wanted to see how boost is since I've only been doing all motor. I have an exedy stage 1 clutch right now, will that hold the power or should i upgrade?
