chriscecc914 said:it just boggles my mind that a 274hp 280tq 2.3 MZR Motor with forged rods and crank can only handle 350 Crank HP max when i've seen stock internal Honda's that aren't built for boost make 470 Crank HP and not explode over 4 years of daily driving. No disrespect to anyone on this site but im seiously considering traiding this car in for something that can handle over 400whp in stock form (aka evo or sti)
BTW 350 Crank is around 300awhp, a # you can surpass with a turboback exhaust, CAI, FMIC, maybe 3 psi more on the stock turbo....your saying that the stock motor cant handle this??! If so this car is weak!
All factory turbo mazda i have seen can hold more than that on stock internal. hell my probe and mx6gt stock motor can hold more than 350bhp
