not tryin to hyjack the thread but i dont quite understand the goldeneagle conversion kit. does that use the stock head or do you have to get a vtec head? and would you need to get a new ecu and wireing harness and vtec selinoid? the website just doesnt explain very well

IIRC @300whp is the limit on a stock LS motor, anything past that and you will need internal (and cylinder head) upgrades. ALOT of the durability of any modified (especially boosted) engine is in the tune and how it's maintained.

There is no magic number for the limit of how much power a motor will take.

Mine has been making more than that for years....on multiple motors.

Search honda-tech's ls turbo thread.......its probably literally over 100 pages long.

yeah i gota agree with a well built or maintained motor and a good tune the b series can amaze you with what it can do without any major modifications of motor builds
