Is it possible to use 12 psi on stock internals on a B18C1 with proper fuel management??....I'm planning on just getting a vafc and 370cc injectors and 6:1 vortech disk and dyno tuning time....any info would be helpful thanks...

 

I would say it is on the edge, but I highly recommend a standalone. Save you the money on the CAFC and the FMU. 440cc + Hondata or any other brand of ECU

 

Will i still be able to keep my stock internals and run 12 psi with hondata and 440cc injectors?....the reason for me not doing a rebuild is because i have my turbo already installed and i dont want to remove it to put in pistons and rods..etc..

 

yes, with properly tuned Hondata, 12lbs can be done on a stock internal GSR

 

Thanks for the info i'm going to buy hondata stage 3b with a new ecu from SGT....any more info would be helpful

But will the motor last???I mean aint it too high???Im going to get haltech e6k, Im planning on 8-10psi....is 12 reasonable??or just strip use?

 

Haltech on the B18C works great! I´ve one installed myself and got some help from Dirtylude.

 

Yea will my motor last if i do 12 psi as a daily driver??....i'm thinking of sticking to 10 psi if 12 is too much....

 

like anything else, the more you rag on it, the faster it will wear out. If you want to keep it reliable, keep the boost down to 7lbs, and turn it up at the track

 

Yea that does make sense...thanks again

 

we boosted a gsr for about a year, on 10 psi. on 93 oct. and sometimes 12 psi on 110. racing at the track almost every week. daily driven. we pulled it apart , the other day, and found, that it looked excellent on the inside. 310 injectors,vafc.

 

i think you'll have some traction problems on the street above 8psi anyway.

 

was this a stock block on the gsr or was it built?...cause my block is stock...

 

I heard i cannot use the VAFC on my a turbo setup. ???? so now i get the impression i can??? i am about to sell mine. Please tell me how to use it with my turbo before i sell it. Thanx

 

will a stock ls be able to handle 12#'s with a hondata and 440's

 

yes

 

yes u can use it dont sell it you will make more power with it turbo then when you was NA

 

My own experience:

Im running a 6:1 disc and 450cc injectors with the VAFC. (Holley fuel pump).
At the track with 114 octane, I've run safely at 11.5psi.
At the street, 94 octane, at about 7psi.

Ive had the motor for a year with well over 100k mi on the 95 block.
However, I dont know how much longer it will last, but as of right now it's doing fine.
Ive had this setup for almost a year now, Im sure it will last longer if I don't beat on it....

At least 2-3 times a week, I do top end runs in this stretch of rt 287 (Bridgewater, NJ). I start out at 4th gear and end at almost the end of 5th. I know it's stupid (top end runs with boost=kaboom!!!) but it sure wakes me up and I feel good about going to work.

 

well just get the right tuning. MARK C the Administrator for this site has been boosting on his teg for awhile. After about 2/3 years and riding in his car a couple times, it seems to me that the motor is still strong. Car is still fast and sounds mean. BUt wear and tear will break any motor in the long run.

god luck

 

isnt his motor built?

 

yes, it is a stock gsr. internals, as well as the head was all stock.

 

440 + hondata...yes. How good of a condition is ur motor in? Compression checked? If compression checked out ok...just make sure u tune that poo poo with enough fuel and just constantly watch out for any leaning out or detonation and u'll be fine.
