Max 'safe' RPM's - stock B18A bottom end
I have a turbo'd B18A with extensive head work but a stock bottom end. The car is track use only so it does not get driven on a regular basis. Any recommendations on where to set the rev limiter before the rods (or other components) start having 'issues'?

I don't know anyone that has pushed 500hp on stock bottom end and had it last longer than 30 seconds.
THe sleeves will start to crack at 300whp. If you plan on making that kind of power, then you should plan on a bottom end build for it.
