Integra Type R Motor Question

I was just wondering how well the ITR motor was built. How much hp can the stock block take?

Thanks

How well it was built in what regard? There was a PY one in SCC Shootout last year that was dynoed at 384 (?) hp. Boosted, of course.

Yes, in terms of boost. How will the stock rods/pistons ect hold up to a turbo. I just wanted to know what to watch out for when boosting a type r.

Thanks again

stock pistons and rods won't hold up long under medium or high boost....

So pretty much just sleeve it, and get pistons and rods? The redline is already high enough for me, so I won't mess with the valvetrain. How about the ITR Cams, and cam gears?
