Default are ARP main studs really needed for a turbochaged b18c

I know the Arp head studs are real popular, but I was wondering, Can I use Stock bolts on my bottom end main caps?

Im going for arround 300-350 WHP

will stock bolts work fine for me ?

Im pretty sure your current head studs are torque-to-yield studs and once you take them out they are junk because they have already been stretched. So you have to buy new studs anyways. Id rather be safe than sorry so go with the ARP

Even the stud caps are the same way once they are used once they are junk so either way you have to buy new ones whether it be acura ones or ARP studs. Its your call

u should do yourself a favor and get the arp, it would be safe to do so with any turbocharge or built motor.

I never had any problems using my old studs turbocharged and all motor and they set and never back out after 30k. But I am in the process of rebuilding and I am going w/ ARP. They are so cheap now a days its worth the money. I am not sure titanmotorsports.com is still running a special but I got mine cheap cheap
