*shrugs* I've seen as many people talking about their blown engines on this forum as just about any other. That considering its 3-4 years old, and a Honda.

And hey, if you think that $6000 is cheap, then I guess that's your opinion. But I'm willing to bet that you're one of a SMALL minority.

Hey Chris, why would you laugh?


Wouldn't you want someone to prove the stock motor can handle 11 psi?


It's had 2 months of hard driving so far, and the motor runs great still. The car has been floored several hundred times under 11 psi at redline without any unfortunate accidents.


Where are all the turbo guys hitting 350 rwhp on the stock block?

Jesus!

Why don't you boys just put on the gloves and take it out to the back lot and settle this like your testosterone demands?

Now, can we get back to the topic?!?

Sorry, I wouldn't fight someone with less than 1000 rwhp total parked in their driveway.

I misinterpreted what I meant...I feel pretty confident that it won't handle 11 psi over the long haul. I think we're all just tired of reading about your 350 hp S2000 and mega-HP Supra in every frickin' post. Are you trying to compensate for something else?

But no, I'd never wish a blown engine on anyone...but play w/ fire, and you're likely to get burned.
