How many max PSI can you pump into a stock 13B motor before the apex seals get blown apart?.

Additionally, how many PSI will a stronger motor hold with 3mm seals and dowls and stuff? (max)

Umm 30-40psi on race fuel easily. 3mm doesn't matter, dowel pinning is usually only done when you are in the 600+ hp range.

Well also, it only takes a few psi to blow the apex seals apart, running lean or bad timing/tuning.

It also depends on the engine too.I hear T2 engines aren't up to taking boost as well as the REW and RE ones.
