[QUOTE="SVTLightning01, post: 2161498, member: 567816"] Controlling boost = preventing boost creep by venting xtra boost. How does this not prevent boost creep? I dont see your point on that. I wont argue the fact that my car wasnt tuned properly when the #3 piston let go. The vortech kit was assumed to be safe by the manufacturer. I take the blame for it blowing. If you research on clubsi.com, it is know that ringlands are a common problem. I then had it rebuilt and put the turbo on it and had it tuned by a reputable company in NC. Im not saying it cant be done, but if you dont have resources nearby to do the tuning on a regular basis a newb will smoke his motor. One of the weak points in honda motors is the open deck design. Having no support at the top of the cylinder is not a great design. Block guards help reduce some of this weak point, but do restrict a little coolant flow around the cylinder. Some people swear by em, others dont. I just thought id throw some options out. I think that guy is a complete idiot not sleeving the block after putting all that money into it. 650 is impressive to say the least. We had a local guy terry (boostfed on honda-tech i believe) put down 717whp420tq on a b18 . I agree that with proper tuning he will be fine as well. I just wanted to point out some things i have experienced in my past. I wasnt a complete newb, i just didnt have the money to have the car re-tuned at the turn of the season. I have been out of hondas for the last few years, so my opinions/views might not be completely correct. [/QUOTE]
