So, you apparently know next to nothing about FI in Hondas, my factory rods will handle 350. Forged 10.2:1 pistons will handle 15 lbs. Stock ones won't last, your right.

Reprogrammed ECU?!?!! HAHA...silly little man. All I need is a $50 missing link so the MAP sensor doesn't read the boost.

Lets try to bring this chat back to adult level. I've enjoyed my time on this website so far.
I don't know everything about Mazda,
and you don't know everything about Honda.

Your stock fuel on that Honda will NOT supply 15lbs of boost.and unless you have some kind of spark control that mixture will DEFINITELY be detonating...forged or not, detonation will melt and break pistons and rods..plus from what i've read about turbo'ing hondas you have to brace those "waterjackets" or whatever they are around the cylinder walls....theres a lot more to FI than throwing a turbo and some cheap piggyback on there and think you can handle high amounts of boost.

My mx-6 stock came turbo and WAS 140hp and 190lb-ft of torque AT THE WHEELS....I ate SI's for breakfast then..Haven't dyno'd it yet but now It has CAI,Zombie Chip(remaps fuel and eliminates boost cut),2.5" Turboback catless exhaust,upgraded to 330 injectors,and a MBC dialed in to 15lbs of boost...next project is a water/alcohol injection setup

total cost so far $1100 including the car....haha...make any Honda that fast on that kind of budget!!
