forget the price, what could it handle?? I would love to build it but cant see giving someone money to do it, i am taking a class next semester on engine building so i am sure i will build it eventualy, but for now just gonna leave it, was gonna see if i could find that greddy kit somewhere, i think its set a 6psi stock, a a6 should handle that easily right?? might be cool to turbo it i think. -thanks

It should handle 6 fine if it is untuned and running rich for safety. Probably could get it up around 10 psi with good tuning on stock internals but I think that might be pushing it. The d16a6 is a really sturdy motor but once boost is added any honda motor really needs to be worked in order to support high boost levels.

ok hehe what about my 1.4 rekkon it could handle a turbo ... got a old saab 9000 turbo and was thinknig about stripping the turbo off that and slapping it on the honda hehe .. not sure if the 1.4 engine could take it .. but i think the psi on the saab turbo is set quite low ??
