LS BOOST stock internals question
On a all stock b18b1 motor what part of the motor relatively gives out first on a boosted setup? From what I have collected I can just find out that the crank is pretty durable in the LS for boost applications

Depends. Your head could rise which will crap your headgasket and in turn the rest of the motor. On a good tune, you risk raising your head above 15 psi or so. ARP studs will remedy that. If your tune is no good, you will have major issues quick. Also, don't raise your redline to some stupid number. Stay around stock until you can build the bottom end.

if you keep it around 300whp it will last you a long time. you can push it to 350 and still have reliability but not as long. anythign over that is pushign it and reliability will be out the window. also going to depend on the turbo setup and the tune. you can pop a motor easily at low power levels if its not done right

and that same guy Jason that tuned mine, it blew up 5 min from the dyno about 7yrs ago.@ 305h@15psi
Piston ringlands go out first cause they shatter. Keep it simple. If you want more power on a stock LS upgrade the Golden Eagle head studs and run e85

All four cracked to much timing. Ran 415 on a stock gsr for over a yr. Tony Palo tuned and sold it to another guy still making 400 on it. But it was on e85

Like said. Ringlands always go out, due to to much timing. Head studs and a good tune and you are good to go. I heard a little saying that rpm's stand for Ruins People's Motors. Less rpm's and more boost = less stress on the motor.

Re: LS BOOST stock internals question
Honda oil pumps have never been long lasting. Id be more worried about that as a mechanical failure. Ring lands are a definite, but the proper tuning should minimize the chances of this happening. An oil pump failing wont be saved by the tune.
