For the a small 4cylinder car, from my knowledge in civics 50 is the max or you will end up messing your stock internals up. Those 4bangers no way made for nitrous unless it has built internals

Well the ecotec engines in the IONs have a little bigger displacement so i guess thats why you guys can take a higher shot.
Also I don't really know how strong the internals for an ecotec engine. The internals in a civic are really not that strong.

and the stock weak point on the 2.2 ecotec is the rods @ about 300 horse. the pistons will handle about 400, the crank will handle about 800. as for the 2.0, it's fully built to handle i think 600 or so stock. i have no clue about the 2.4. but 2.4 and 2.2 have same crank. 2.4 is a bigger bored engine that the 2.2. the 2.0 is a destroked 2.2.... 2.4 + boost = fail. well, any bigger than 12PSI or so.

The old 2.2 iron blocks are tanks. And as you said love boost. The block and insides can support 300 ground horse power not bad for a engine that makes 135 at the crank stock.

Race him from a dig where traction is your friend. You have over 60 horses and 140 torque and thats if he has the higher end type S.

If your runing a number 16 plus PSI and a 150 shot your breaking a lot more. The the 2.0 IRL is not that high. The NA 2.4 is higher.
