Hey guy's!
I have honda S2000 (in ISRAEL) only 30 we have.
I want to know how much boost stock engine can handle without to break anything?
Thank you!

.001 psi

 

Very funny...

 

What size turbo? What octane do you have there?

 

T3/T4 (t04e)and 98 octan... AEM EMS.
Thanks

 

In my humble opinion, you can probably get away with 7 to 9 lbs boost but beyond is never-never land. The AEM EMS makes tuning very precise and much safer allowing you to avoid the detonation issues. The brute strength of the rods comes into play eventually. I'm currently running 362 hp (Dynopak) at just over 6 lbs and thinking about adding a couple more lbs. I know I am approaching the power limit for the stock bottom end. If you drive very agressively then stick to the lower boost and enjoy.

 

Thank you!
Enjoy you too!

 

I agree, you should be straight with 7-9psi runnin 98 octane all day.

 

my buddy is doing that now and its pretty fast at 7 psi and real reliable. Its all in the tuning

 

98 octane?? whoa... we only dream of that here..

sweet setup... lots and lots of money tho.. haha

 

I've been running 9 psi for the last year with no problems.

 

I have also been running 9 PSI for a while..... with the AEM EMS and a good tuner you should be fine......
