im building a b18b ls motor for a 94 teg going to be running 10lbs of boost. just wanted to get some info..
1) will type r pistons put my compression to for the turbo set up?
2)will stock ls rods hold up i have heard they will
3) should i sleve the motor.
and any other input u might have this is my first honda motor im building. im used to building v8s so any input would be very apricated thanks....


88crx b16
94 teg soon to be pachuef

 

wow im the first guy to look at your tread but because i type soo slow i dont think ill be the first to reply...
first off, ITR pistons well not help for turbo applications..ITR pistons will raise you compression and for turbo you want to lower the compression ratio...
the LS rod do hold better then stock vtec rods but although 10lbs isnt much i dont think that it hold long...
sleeving the motor is always a good thing but i heard you shouldnt go past 8 psi with stock internals...

 

thanks, this is what i was told to run.. eagle rods, gold eagle sleves, je pistons, and stock bearings . can any one confirm that this package will hold up the car will be running higher boost in the future.

 

Run higher compression pistons if you want. If you turbo, you're gonna have to tune anyway. High compression and turbo being a bad thing is a myth.

Key to having a solid car is good tuning. Good luck

 

yea cause new vw 1.8 turbos are like 11:1 i plan on running hondata or zdyne gold ive heard good things about both.

yeha, but they pull so much timing out, it's not even funny...
I mean, FI guys usually pulls about .7-1 degree of timing per pounds, VW and other factory Turbo cars, are pulling much more than that..

id get some crower econo billet rods b4 eagles, they are prone to rod bolt breakage...the crower econo's are the same as eagles w/ bigger rod bolts

Thats sounds perfect to me..although i recomend you use 9~10:1cr..make sure they are *new* stock bearings....
and to the other guy..they reason why turbos could make so much power is because it puts more air into the cumbustion chamber (of course with added fuel) the more air/fuel you get in there the more power you are able to make. of course you could use high compression with a turbo, but if its something like a OEM cast alluminium piston then have fun putting pieces of your engine on your nightstand so you could look at it every night to remind yourself......
since your not running high boost maybe you might be better off with some 10:1cr pistons....you should also look into Hondata for tunning...
