b18c198

Hi guys I have a 98 GSR with hondata s200, RC 550, turbonetics t3t4 turbo and I am pushing 275 wh hp at 206 pds of torque at 10psi. I have a tial 38mm wastegate witha 8 pd spring. I want to be able to run about 13psi,highest 15psi. Although having such a high compresiion enjine, what do I need to do internally to run higher boost? DO all i need to get are 9:1 pistons, eagle rods, and block guard? Will these 3 items be enough to run as high as 15pis on a b18c1 motor?

With good tuning and maybe a little hgher octane fuel you should be able to run "15 psi" on the stock longblock. Although a certain PSI should not be the goal. A certain WHP should be what you are shooting for.

Alright then, I would like ot hit 350 whp but am thinkning my stock rods won't be able to handle that much hp even though I am tuned with Hondata...but I will lose a dozen or so hp by going with lowering compression pistons but isnt that safer that way?
