Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Boosting stock motors

[LtWacko (LtWacko]

Toyota Supra stock internals can handle 900 HP all day long DAILY  DRIVEN.  
With $1500 to spend on modifications, you actually have to  run LESS boost than 
capable of your setup.  Any higher, you have to  crack open the motor and 
modify the internals.  I would love to get one of  these cars but it's just not 
my taste.

2.   All this discussion about forced induction:  You are forgetting  that
converting a N/A engine to forced requires reducing  compression
(read: new pistons) unless the boost is relatively mild.   Similar problems
can exist if you try overboosting an OEM forced induction  engine.   Sure,
many of them can tolerate some additional boost,  but you have to be
carefull.
