Re: Question?? (hatch_b18)
Are you just bored? Thinking of questions to ask H-T? It all just depends. Most engines won't see the light of day after pushing 12 psi for a long time. But, there's like 100 different factors that will vary the results. Its just like saying,"I put a turbo on my car. Will it break?" In time, yes. Maybe in 200 miles, maybe in 20,000. You can push 18 psi on a stock B16. On race gas, you may get a few passes at the track before you destroy your block. Be more specific!!! Questions like these won't usually go answered unless you have a cause or reason. Pulling a random FI question out of nowhere doesn't help anybody lopoking in the TECH FORUMS...
