i had 206k miles on my 93 gsr and i had no problems for 8k of those miles being turboed @ 8.5psi... none. i even had it to 12psi a few times and she didnt give me problems. (16g) only reason its gone is because a mustang t-boned the front end into garbage going insanely fast.. and even then the engine still started and the turbo spooled, but insurance totaled it.

there is no replacement for displacement
..except F/I!

theres just no way your going to build a 1.6L economy engine to NA make more power than a bigger engine thats built equally.. forget running against a turbo.

in all technicallity it IS possible to make the d16 really fast NA, but you would have to have insane amounts of money to blow.


i believe theres a k-series rsx running 9s naturally aspirated..
