hi people I'm new in your forum so sorry if I'm going to ask sommething that maybe has allready been asked .................. I was wondering when you forge your CA18DET and you've got all the right mods like fuel mods and such . when you kick in the high boost so I'm talking 20-25 psi issen't it going to break your crankshaft ...........

break it in what way? But to answer ur question no. If the bottom end is bolted down correctly to factory specs the crankshaft will not break not to mention the oem crankshaft is forged as well.
