Concerns over high boost.
Im ready to dyno run the new SC61. The set-up briefly:
- JE 9.0:1
- Darton sleeves
- Eagle H-Beams
- FAST ECU
- 65lb injectors
- Holley 255 FI fuel pump
- 3" Thermal exhaust
-.8 bar tial wastegate spring in a 38mm WG
- AEM fuel pressure regulator on AEM rail
Where's the weak link here? What wont hold up to 450+ HP? How far should
I push it? Im feeling unsure about those Eagle rod bolts. I appreciate your comments.

Re: Concerns over high boost. (exsleeper)
get some bigger injectors and make sure its tuned good. just cause you have FAST dosnt mean the tuner knows what they are doing....

Re: Concerns over high boost. (JDogg)
i dont trust the eagles myself. how can you spend the extra $$$ on darton and skimp on the rods?? I would rather go GE and save some money there and throw some bulletproof pauters in there. just my opinion.

You have a nice setup, 450 shouldnt be a problem with a good tuner. The rods are your weakpoint though.

Re: (Bryson)
I went on the RC injector page a while back and it said that I needed like 1400cc injectors to get around 500hp. If thats true then I'm way short with my 682cc's. Or are 1400's too much.

Never use that injector calculator. It never seems to work for us Honda Peeps.
I would say at least 720cc's...but just to stay safe I would look into some Precision 880ccs... That way to dont have to sell them if your looking for over 500hp one day.

Also, if the eagle hardware is a weak link for Honda's, as my honda friend is telling me (DSM's don't seem to have this issue, do we get a larger bolt then you?) then changing the rod bolts is easy, drop the oil pan and do that, its a messy few hours but its better then the alternative.

ItsStockOfficer: I posted again
ItsStockOfficer: Honda-Tech.com: Concerns over high boost.
maskednegator: i think you actually have to rethread the rods to do this
ItsStockOfficer: WTF
maskednegator: yeah
maskednegator: it ain't htat easy
ItsStockOfficer: Why the hell can't arp make a hard ware with the right pitch
maskednegator:
Me sticks to DSM advice

Honestly, not only do your injectors seem to be a little weak and the rods not my choice, But is that IC in the picture the one you are using? Looks kind of small? I could be wrong but you may see some high end restrictions if its not big enough. Then again i dont know the specs on it so i could be completely wrong.
Good luck and it sounds like it will definately put some power down!

Re: Concerns over high boost. (hybridvteceg)
i hope people realize that eagle rods fail b/c of improper installation.
people say the bolts are the weak point...why?
improper torquing
Theres always gonna be people who hate a product b/c it failed for them, after that people jump on the bandwagon honda-tech is so famous for.
your rods are fine as long as they were torqued properly.

Re: (DroppedGSR)
I indeed am suffering from intercooler envy right now. Im basically running a F-max kit and that is what came with it. I was thinking of going with a Precision product in this area also.
If I start losing sleep over the rod bolt torque, is it just a matter of dropping the oil pan to double-check or will it get more involved than that?

Re: (hybridvteceg)
Thanks, I just might do that. I couple of years ago I bent a bunch of valves because of an improperly installed cam gear bolt.
