the question is:
<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by nomotor &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">i got a B18C1 motor from my friend and i want to boost it. im going to add all new cams,valve train, IM, cam gears, and i want to know how much boost i can run if i just replace the RODS and PISTONS?</TD></TR></TABLE>
but the answer is:
<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by MachAF &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">350-400whp</TD></TR></TABLE>

the noobs will never understand.

it all depends on your turbo and your setup.
the amount of boost you run is not important. it is just a number
if i have a small turbo i would be boosting a lot more than a bigger turbo
but it all depends on how much power your engine has to handle in the end, not
how much your turbo works.

**** 300whp with pistons and rods. I wouldn't even bother and waist my money on them. 500whp stock sleeves, and thats deff. not the limit. Check out evohybrid's old setup, around 540whp stock sleeves.
^He didn't say reliable, he how much. And I'm not saying that a stock sleeved 500whp b series motor is not reliable

I belive he has more miles on that setup that any 500+whp Sleeved motor ive heard about...

I guess im just one that always has to go to extremes but if i did pistons/rods i would be dissapointed with anything less than 450whp.
