is it possible to to make 300 whp out of a ls with still driving it daily? wut would i need to do to build it to make it fairly dependible?

 

yes very possible. on a medium sized t3/t4 you are looking at around 12-15 psi to get there, with many other variables in there as well. just get it tuned well and you wont have problems if the motor is healthy

 

sean on here has 300whp and runs 11.80's in a ek...very basic set up

 

i have a B18b1 with a T25 and the **** it quick. just get a GOOD tune. and my sure your fuel is there. reflash is a must

 

about wut did you spend on your setup? weres some good places to pick up parts and ****

 

what do you have for your internals? head work?

 

how much boost you using?

 

i say, 18 psi nigggggggggggggga

 

Check my sig. It's pretty easy to do on stock everything just get a good tuner. Don't worry about PSI...it means nothing at all (under 25 PSI). Read up solid info if you don't believe me

 

ight so the set upi got and my rang of what i wanted is what i'm gona tell ya. i wanter to buy a kit but thats way to my cash so i was like expletive that. so what i did was i went to a junk yard and i found a mint 97 eagle talon TSI. it was there cus it had a shot tranny.we took off the valve cover and it was the cleanest moter i'v ever seen. so i took the 4500cc injectors off of it and the turbo witch is a T25. i took the turbo apart and snd blasted both sides so there perfect.( thx brett) i bought an ebay special turbo header. not the best but it works. i'm also using a DSM BOV. i made all my oun piping with just regular piping you can get at an auto parts store or home depo. i used rad hose for the cuplers and for the 90 elbos i used home depo pluming elbows. i bout an intercoller from ebay. it was from treadstone, heres the title you can look up ( INTERCOOLER - Polished Turbo Acura Prelude Civic - BM6 ) i made my iol line out of brake line and some conectors. make my own down pipe out of a Jbend from summit. and rite now i'm running 9PSI. and i'm tuned with uberdata. it's got some good power to it with the LS motor. so far i'm beat up a GT stang, S4, EG hatch with a jdm B18c, V6 eclipce, beat up a 90 talon TSI up a hill passing him lol. i got to go get tuned but i should be making some where around 240whp. theres no dout that this is a 13.5 car with a lil more tuning. ohh yea i spent less than $500 on the whole thing. you ******* cant beat that i'm here for questions

 

heres some pixs

 

LST thread will give you motivation. Look at there set ups and you will see 300 is pretty easy with the stock motor.

 

yeah, mine was making 300plus until a few days ago. Ring land gave up the ghost. Estimated 330WHP.

Sick times, sean.

2gen - Check out the huge LS-T thread.

 

so the internals are still stock.. how much boost are you running?? my ls is 93 with 160000 do you think it can handle 9 -10 psi??

 

do you think i should put in new head studs or head work because of mileage or do you think ill be fine

 

If you plan for 300whp, def get ARP headstuds - they're cheap and fast from lightning motorsports.

With 160k on the motor, I don't think it would last too long. Maybe with 200-250whp, but not 300. Check it for leakdown and consistent compression numbers to see how it's holding up.
