Default Kind of a newbie question, fom a not-so-newbie

Click my sig to see I'm not a newbie......

The lovely motor you read about there is gone. #3 melted piston, #2 sleeve started to crack, #1 piston almost melted and rings were done. So i've replaced the motor with a B16a1

My question is what kind of boost/hp levels are safe for a completely stock B16a1. I have Hondata and 720s and http://www.tappauto.com as a tuner, so it will be tuned well. Just wondering what is a relatively safe area to be in?

Thanks guys, I will have pics as soon as http://www.digitalpose.com decides to start working again.

Anyone? I tried a search and couldn't really find an answer that satisfies me.

Thanks

5-10 psi, it all depends on your driving and tuning, ive seen people run insane numbers.... ive seen motors pop on low low boost, it just depends.
