okay okay,

I tried the search button but didn't really find a clear answer.. I might be gettting a stock gsr motor/trans soon to replace my turbo LS motor/trans.. My question is, whats the suggested and safe boost level that I can run on the stock gsr motor b4 i have to worry about rebuilding the internals?? I dont plan on doing that until maybe next yr..

thanks in advance...

 

NO one knows??

 

depends on the setup honestly.

 

yep. You can boost 3 psi and have the motor blow on you or you can run a tuned setup at 8 psi and be fine. depends on the setup, how well you take care of everything, and how good your fuel delivery is. if it's crap or non-existant, don't expect anything to last too long.

 

alright i forgot to add some important factors:

system includes:
hondata2b tuned of course
rc440's
255 walbro
aemfpr
inline manifold
t3t4e 63 ar 60 trim
93 octane
rps clutch
3" exhaust

am i missing anything else?

 

yeah, an intercooler. personally i'd run 8psi on that setup. but thats just me.

 

have some fun go for 10psi if it's tuned properly (looks as though you have the rite equiptment) you should be fine runing 10psi

 

B-series block can handle up to 10 psi with good fuel management like EMS or hondata (no tweak boxes)

 

setup sounds good, run anything between 7-10psi you will be fine.

 

yea, i'm running 10psi and no problems yet *knock on wood

 

how much boost could you run with forged rods and pistons??? oh WITH a nice size intercooler..

 

Boost, I wax GSRs with my LS

 

If you prep the block right, you can push 400whp+ on race gas. I ran a b16a head, gsr bottom end, arp head studs, cometic thicker headgasket (9:1 comp) and a race engineering block guard. On pump I ran 14lbs everyday, on race gas I was pushing 19lbs. This was on a 60-1 t3. All stock internals. It can be done. It helps when you can tune yourself, but if you have a good tuner anything is possible.
