I was wondering if the stock internals would be able to hold up to a Full Race turbo kit... I'm planing on buying the turbo kit and then buying forged pistons and rods later... any suggestions or opinions?
Thanks

Definately, people have pushed completely stock A2's to over 600 HP. I would say for longevity reasons keep power around 300 HP.

To give you an idea of the abuse these motors can take over time. I did a leakdown for a customer a few weeks back. It was a base model RSX w/ the K20A3 motor. He was pushing right around 290 HP for over 2 years. I did a leakdown and all four cylinders were less than 1% leakdown.

These things can take some abuse. But remember tuning is the key, K-Pro FTW!
