Default Boost question

Hey guys I have a 1999 Honda Accord EX, I was just wondering, if I keep the engine internals stock and boost it, and I going to run into any trouble? I'm not too familiar with the F23A1 motor, or accords in general, I'm a Civic + B18 guy but my parents bought me an Accord, any input is appreciated, thanks

keep the boost low and you won't have many problems. turn it up and you'll have big problems (namely ringland failure). I've went through 3 stock f23 engines pretty quickly before I wised up and built a motor w/ forged goodies.

I've been running 5-7psi for over 2 years now with stock internals and auto tranny. Just keep it reaonable.

If you have an auto then you should get a tranny cooler. Also, i dont think you should go above 8psi on stock internals.
