Is the Y8 sohc vtec? We have a Y7? (sohc non-vtec) stock motor making around 230 whp on like 12 lbs on a mitsu 16G turbo with no problems running vafc hack and 450's.....
Nitrous is the devil Well, on the dyno it is anyways......nitrous backfire makes 14psi stock B18C go boom on the dyno

nitrous is only the devil because the user doesn't know the proper way of using it. nitrous can be very helpful if the user is knowledgeable of the substance.

and why would you waste your money on a whole nitrous setup for only a 20 shot? if your Y8 is in good shape, it should be able to handle 10 psi if tuned properly.

just stick with turbo

what the **** are you people talking about? According to fast and furious he can run 10psi EASY with a 75 shot of naWzzzz.

If you want to go from 7 to 10 psi i would recommend
larger injectors
intank fuel pump
adj fpr
fuel rail
hondata
good dyno tuning
some more good dyno tuning

before you get bent out of shape, he was just joking with the f&f similarity.

it will be o.k.

and a stock y8 block on 10 psi of boost will only be as reliable as the tuning. if you never tune it, buh-bye motor.

10psi on a y8 is pushing it some, i know some have done it. I did 8psi with safc, 440's, vortech fmu 12:1 disk, and 255lph fuel pump. I wouldn't recommend doing the hack, out of 3 friends that have done it, only one of their cars is on the street at any given time.
