Turbo Bseries

When back at it this morning and double check the cams and valves to be where they are suppose to be at TDC and everything was good, i told my brother to rotate the cams with adjustable wrenches as i rotate it from the crank bolt and i manage to get it to goo 2 full rotations smoothly, turn the car on and everything looks and sounds good, ready to hit the dyno and see what it makes now... i don't know why yesterday it was so hard to turn... but thanks anyways for the help.. i will post my dyno results and a video when i go get retune.

if you dont mind whats your set up ? motor and turbo wise. im debating keeping my ls build ls as i have a fully built top end or going lsv and have yet to use my 404s. defiantly lmk what power it makes what fuel you using?

Turbo Bseries

My set up is ramhorn manifold, garret 60 trim turbo journal bearing, 3 inch exhaust and downpipe, turbosmart wastegate, 66mm skunk2 throttle body and skunk2 intake manifold, Nippon turbo pistons, scat rods, acl bearings.. on a stock head my car made 316whp at 15psi 93 octane... I was going to go lsvtec myself but sold the vtec head and decided to just build my LS head..

With the build head and crower 404s and 3 more lbs of boost i hope to break hit 360whp give or take and i will be happy.. i will keep you guys posted, old tuner move to Florida so now i have to find a new tuner and there is not many down here in TN.. but when i do go to the dyno i will post results and a video..

I don't think is worth going LS vtec unless you have a sleeve block and can really push the motor...

im currently around the 330ish mark by track times already b20 ported p75 head preformer x intake 68mm and ram horn gt3040r 3" dp and 15psi 91 stock cams .hope you make more then 50ish whp more as the cams are alot bigger then stock lol

Turbo Bseries

Well guys i will be driving 6hrs to atlanta and getting retune on my crower 404 cams on Jun 9 i will post results here once is done, i hope to make good power... car was tune on a stock cams and made 315whp at 15psi garret 60trim.. on this new tune i will be going to 18 or 20psi depending on what it makes and raising my redline from 7.5k to 8krpm.. trying to make close to 400whp on stock sleeves still..

Those cams should make power to 8500 or so.

Turbo Bseries

I want to keep it safe for now since i don't have a sleeve block yet.. or would you recommend me revving that high? all i have on the head are dual springs and retainers.. bottom end is build with all arp bolts and studs..

You can rev that high. the head is what's to worry about. the Block, well, that's been done plenty of time w/ LSVTEC without sleeving.

LightningTeg

You're fine, sleeves or not. The problem arise with stock valve springs or rod bolts.

My tuner stopped at 8K with my LS. 404 all motor cams and Crower springs/retainers.

He stated my log mani was the restriction in my setup. He stated if I had a miniram or full ramhorn, we could have gone a bit higher. However, I'm making plenty of power as is, so I really don't see the need to push it any further for a street vehicle.

Here is a quick video i took of my car today getting it ready for the 6hr drive tomorrow to go get retune on this cams.. wish me luck.. hoping to hit close to 400whp.. i will see what tuner sais if he feels we can rev to 8500rpm i will.. this is not a daily car is more of a race car weekend car..

Turbo Bseries

Car mad amazing power super happy, the 6hr drive was well worth it.. Car final numbers made 408whp 281tq at 18psi straight Ls with Crower 404s.. I will upload videos later.. Good to be in the 400+ club

Very nice. Post up a dyno graph if you have one. Did you drive your Honda 6 hours or tow it?

Turbo Bseries

I do have a dyno sheet very smooth powerband, cams idle nicely.. here is the video i took of the last pull at 18psi.. and i drove car to him 6hrs and driving it back tomorrow morning, car feels strong way faster then before..

Geis

That's a sexy powerband for a 60 trim

Turbo Bseries

it is very smooth, tuner did set revs to 8500rpms since cams made the power that far.. have to love this crower cams best bang for the buck to anyone with a turbo ls..

boosted94gsr

Very nice man! Yeah a set of cams really wake these non-vtec engines up. I had a set of Brian Crower cams basically cheaper knockoffs of the Crower 403s and they made a huge difference in power on my last LS build.

Enjoy the car man it looks like a lot of fun.

96ekb20

glad it went good. what fuel are you using? you still on stock ports?

LightningTeg

Solid. Saw it on Jasons post

Turbo Bseries

fuels was 93 pump gas from shell and stock ports on the head and manifold.. 3inch downpipe and full 3inch exhaust and 3inch megan turbo muffler..

Very smooth and clean powerband, torque could be higher, but with that manifold, it's not uncommon for that characteristic to pop up.
Exhaust sounds like as though a reasonable adult owns it, (though it's Megan... Could have been much worse, so kudos.. ..

Sounds like a nice fun runner!! was curious if he verified partial throttle on the street as part of a final tune.

Geis

Yeah for 404s that low end torque looks great. All I've heard about them makes me really tempted to buy 96ek's head.

Well, taking into account the expressions of his machine shop THAT did the work, it's not a bad idea. Then he'll have the money to get his VTEC head....once he figured out what on God's green Earth he plans to do, eventually.
