Default How much HP is Type R bottom end good for?

I am planning on boosting my Type R. I am replacing the pistons with lower compression slugs and I am also going to go with some Crower connecting rods.
What I want to know is how much boost can I safely run without worrying about the sleeves cracking. I am also running a Hondata S200, and will be getting everything tuned.

Thanks in advance

are you talking about the stock sleeves or aftermarket ones????

id say you could prolly reach around 500 to the wheels on a good tune. with the stock sleeves. who knows how long it would last though.

I'll be testing the limits of the stock sleeves and rods here in a few days. I made 282 on a 100% stock internal ITR motor w/ turbo. Now I'm running 9.0:1 Arias Pistons, stock rods, bigger turbo, and fully tuned with the Hondata S200 as well.
