RELIABILITY of stock internals
I have a D16Z6 engine (140k miles) with a CAI, header, and a cat-back exhaust. I was just wondering how much hp the stock internals can handle before replacing the pistons, rods, crank, etc.
I want to install a 35 to 55 wet or dry shot of nitrous (not direct port). Do you think the internals will hold up?
I am pretty sure the D16Z6 has 125 hp stock. With all of my mods so far I figure I have 162 hp AT THE MOST (it would be around 217 with a 55 shot). Do you think my engine would hold up if I used higher octane fuel?
I have checked the spark plugs for any signs of pre-ignition or detonation, and so far everything seems to be running well.
ALSO DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO CALCULATE WHP FROM HP

you'll be fine...my sohc vtec engines y7/y8,y8, and z6 all handled a 75 shot along with bolt-ons a the bullfrog cam. Was very strong...you must watch your engine temp though cause it rises quickly.

i think you'll be fine...just know when to spray and when know to spray...your internals should last a bit but i'm sure in time something is bound to break...

Re: (bmoua)
thnx, I was reading another thread and someone said that the D series should handle up to 200+ whp
if that is the case i will just worry about keeping the engine cool; upgrade to aftermarket radiator should do it?

yes about a 20% loss. hence the 125 hp at the crank with 20 % loss is 100 hp. Now with I/H/E your looking at about 110 hp maybe more maybe less but not much more.
