on that one. apparently you and the op need to do some homework. a boosted ls motor, with a good tune can last a long time. as long as the boost is kept at a decent level and you don't drive like an *** everytime you get behind the wheel.

if you talk to some people here on h-t some people have 185,xxx plus on their car and still runs reliably. talk to schister, he ran 10psi on his stock gsr for a long while. its all in the tune. do a leak down test first, then consider your options.

Dont base your goals in terms of PSI as it's an irrelevant measurement. If you want it to be reliable, build a good setup with quality parts. The most important aspect is the tune. If you're willing to do things the correct way, you can make ~300whp without issue on the stock block. There have been 400+whp stock LS's on the site before. I had a 315whp stock block GSR for 2 years and it ran strong the whole time. I'm now rebuilding it to support my "needs." Check the sig...

Also, just about everything has gone turbo at one point in time.

who said that was my goal?
I said thats how much I am going to push the turbo. no where in my comment did I state it was my goal.
Im just saying what I am going to do.
so what your doing to fit your "needs" is great, but dont make claims that are untrue.

Oh...my....god... A TURBO INTEGRA??? GENIOUS!!!!!
Anyway, yeah forced induction forum (forced induction=turbo/supercharged....and YES you can supercharge a Honda). I'd boost it at 8psi at have a rev limiter set at 8,200 RPM for best results on stock LS.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
DA_9- you shouldnt talk cause you obviously dont know anything about turbos.
Saying you should boost at a certain psi is completely irrelivant. 8 psi on one turbo wont produce the same power on a different turbo. So saying boost 8lbs is pointless to say.
And why raise the rev limiter on a stock motor. By doing so your just asking for trouble. Keep the rev limiter set to what it is now UNLESS you have the supporting mods to warrent a raise of the rev limiter.
