*cough cough* you dont know about honda motors so dont tell me what an ls (which i have) can handle. 15 psi can be set as a highboost setting if he knows how to tune his car right.

yeah it can be done but how long till the engine blows.

no shit....thats why i said a HI boost setting. (you use hi boost when your racing. the few seconds. minutes that the ls is boosting 15 (tuned right) isnt going to hurt the motor)

what i do I give general turbo advice to the best of knowledge and try to keep people from blowing up their engines that is why i'm so conservative.
maybe you should notice how civilised me and pwman we kept the discussion.

im not nore ever was flaming you in anyway about your turbo advice. i corrected you at the most, because i DO know about these motors. your advice for the most part was good advice. but mine was better.

ok like i did not know what good fuel/air iginion etc management is for FI. do read my other posts. and the mistake was that i did not know that a 98 ls has a b18b1 and i thought it was a b18a1....yeah insane mistake especially since i admit to not being a honda expert.

i presume you know everything about all the cars out there. if i asked you about my cougar you would know all the details.

even knowing some of the honda engine codes - when it does not interest me directly - shows that i try to learn so i can give the best advice i can

and yeah let him run 15 psi even in short distances and see a rod snap or the crank - which is unbalanced on stock for snap and goobye engine.


sorry to be so hard on you but you just came here and tell people to run 15 psi on stock internals(and yeah even for short distances it can prove disatrous)

Yeah really. 14 PSI is ABSOLUTE max. 12-13 is safe PSI for a stock LS.

welp....firstly...i dont know everything about all cars. just like you, i know about MY car and general info about other cars. i dont ever give advice about other cars i dont know about unless its like when to change the oil or somthing. i dont mind at all that you disagree with me and i commend(sp?) you because you did give pretty good advice on running his motor on the safe side. im just stating that it can be done in short sprints (with tuned hondata and a good turbo setup...not some shit greddy turbo kit)
ps....i dont care if your "hard" on me lol this is just internet. i dont take it too seriously. im not gonna get mad if you call me an assclown

to pwr(?) i do actually agree with you now. 13-14 would probably be max on a run of the mill setup. by the time it hits the motor it would prolly be somewhere around 11-12 psi which is safe on a stock ls with a decent setup. the actual rods....wont start to break until its either ran on 15 psi(into the motor) for an extended time or its boosting more 16 or 17 into the motor.

Yeah, now I agree with you
