I have the following done to my motor, what horsepower ranges, boost ranges can i be safe at without breaking them? I want to hear what other people have to say and whats their experience's with stotpeened rods on a boosted daily driven motor. Im about to have it dyno tuneed but dont want to fork the money on dyno tunning when it can go towards my rods then have it dyno'd afterwards.

gsr block sleeved with ductile iron sleeves copper o'rings 81.5mm
CP 9:5-1 compression pistons
OEM polished/balanced crankshaft
gsr shotpeened rods
stock gsr head w/ all type r valvetrain w/ stock gsr cams

t3/60-1 turbonetics turbo
rc 440cc injectors
hondata 3b

i've spoken to some of the highly reconized racer's and tunner's and their not recommending me to go over 10-12 lbs of boost? they said that shotpeened is good but when they tend to have pressure on them they dont bend like most other aftermarket rods do, they just break off.

 

You should post this up in the forced induction forum, they are better with this.

 

thought it was a tech section so maybe ppl would know..but ill try that section. thanks
