Okay, my buddy has a 99 Accord LX sedan 5spd. He's a tad bit frustrated because of the lack of parts for it... I was just wondering what kind of stress the connecting rods, limitations on boost (if ever they make a turbo/supercharger), spray limitations... My civic, D-series can handle roughly 200 crank hp with 7-8psi of boost max.. What are the durability/reliability of the F23A1 engines... Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

You can run 7-8psi... However, if you want your motor to have any longetivity or if you want to crank the boost, you'll need to bulletproof the motor and by all means spend the $$ for some good dyno tuning time.

 

there are some people running 10 psi on stock F23A1's
