Icon2 high compression + turbo ????

i got a stock ls motor with some p30 pistons. the previous owner had the motor rebuilt only 2k miles on it. i looked up on one of the honda motor build calculators. and the ratio came out to 11:0. i was wondering if i can turbo this motor. or i have to get it rebuilt agian with something around 9:1. but i really dont want to waste this motor. so can it be turboed at 11:0. the motor is a ls.

so the stock rods are strong enough to with stand 12psi? cause i know theres going to be alot of torque going on inside the motor.

psi means nothing...

same psi on different turbos = different numbers...

guys do run stock rods... are they stock rod bolts? If you want some insurance, arp rod bolts are a good way to go...

depends on your goals.. if you want a monster, then build the bottom end..
