Default two questions

1. my driver side window is fucked up, i put it up all the way and it goes off track somehwere and it sticks out about an inch at the top...i just jets out. i was told that something inside the door was bent because the window still works but its just like, angled wrong....i took off the door panel and i cant figure out how i would get to the window seeing as how its one solid piece of metal....any suggestions would be nice....lol

2. when i build my ls/vtec and have possible intentions of boost, i will replace the rods and shit but keep the block itself stock. taking into account the b16 vtec head im puttin on it, what would be the max boost that the combination could hold safely? i know i asked it before but i never really got a straight answer...

my window did the same thing. what happened was the bolt loosened out form the door and it cut into the metal of the inner skin of the door. so i put a new bolt in it with a washer and scuffed the metal with sand paper and used jbweld to reshape the gouge and lock in the bolt, worked like acharm.

max boost on a stock botm end lsvtec, i wouldnt go past 12-14. but, it mainly depends on what size turbo u go with and also fuel management

fuel management and tuning are two totally different things... there is more to tuning then fuel.

no, the strenth & amount of heat that the block & internals in the block can withstand are what is limiting you.
