Ok I know the weakness on a D series are the Rods, but how about the pistons?. How much whp can stock pistons handle before they go out. Im planning on doing a build in the near future to bump up the boost on my D series turbo. I know for sure I am getting Eagle rods but I have not heard of anyone complaining about the pistons. Can the pistons them selves handle 250whp. Im sure my goal is a bit lower then that but I want to keep it on the safe side of things, and don't want my engine to take a dump while Im cruising around. Im sure with proper tuning the pistons and rods can handle my goals but like I said I want to be on the safe side of things.

all honda cast pistons are crap. weak ringlands.

 

But how much whp can these rings take. Im sure there is many boosting good d series numbers with stock block.

 

Pistons are crap Highest i've seen on stock internals was 300whp.
