heres the deal. i want to boost my gsr, but i cant decide if i wanna boost it stock or throw in some pistons and rods. whats the weak point in the motor, is it the sleeves? i just dont want to spend the money on pistons/rods if its the sleeves i need to worry about, in which case i would just boost it stock and then later on do a full sleeve and build. i just got a gt35r and im trying to figure out where to go from here

the sleves are pretty solid on honda motors. What are your power goals? Obviously if you're going for 800 hp then there'll be more weak links then if you're going for 250. I think one weak link is the ring lands on the stock pistons, and if you're going for power levels over 300 then i think the rods could pose a problem as well.

ive heard the ringlands are the weak point mite as well change the rods as well if your going that far. ive had my gsr boosted for about 5 months at 8psi no problems at all completely stock motor

right now im just goin for 250, if im gonna build it im gonna go big which money wise, now is not the time

now im kinda thinking about spending an extra grand and throwing in some pistons/rods/arp headstuds and a block guard and turnin up the boost a bit.....maybe about 350whp?

well i cant afford to have it benson sleeved like i would do in a perfect world, thats what i meant. but with that bottom end setup you think ill be alright at 350 or what would be my limits with the stock sleeves

93hatchy

well then hell, i might as well get as much power as i can, id be perfectly happy 400 lol, i guess the only thing limiting me of that would be injectors bc i planned on using some 450s i have laying around. wonder what size id need
