I'm about to buy some low mileage SRP 9:1 pistons for a *BUDGET* built LSVTEC.

Planned setup:
Stock LS Block
Stock GSR Head
blox intake/turbo manifolds
SRP Pistons/Eagle Rods
T3/60-1 Turbo .63 stage 3 exhaust
etc.

Plan to rev under 8500rpm 20-25psi... looking to make around 500whp

i've heard some horror stories about srp's but i've learned to usually not pay much attention to alot of the stuff i read on here as a lot of it is heresay... also thinking about throwing in a blockgaurd??

ELSpool

There was a guy in my area that made 510whp with that identical setup. I think his username is meanteg on here, but never see him on.

well, ls or even gsr 9:1 pistons aren't going to actually be 9:1 in an lsv application, also, i don't think a 60-1 is gonna net you 500whp at those boost levels or at all, and you'd be much better off without a block guard than with one, if anything, post the block. as far as the srp's, they should be fine for 500whp as long as it's properly tuned.

tune will be taken care of via me and crome... what turbo do u recommend for 500hp on my setup? I thought a 60-1 would be up for the task

rextec

the stock sleeves will be at there limit be careful!!!!

I dunno If boosting 25psi @ 8500rpm is a good idea on a stock GSR head.

thanks alot bro... I said I plan to rev under 8500 not rev to 8500. Like I said, please stay on topic

dustin

I plan to rev under 347,000rpm then.

And I am staying on topic. Regardless, I'm not much obliged to.

When you drop a valve, let me know. Your pistons will hold up great with valves installed in them.

8500rpm + GSR valve springs + 25psi of boost on the back side of the valve = m4d jdm vt3c y0.

How about you don't post anymore. I'm tired of trying to help inconsiderate bastards.

Oh yeah, and to answer your original question... don't use SRP pistons at high power levels.

Who does this Dustin guy think he is??

used2baracer

how are you helping me? I already stated I would be shifting at 8200... You're insulting my intelligence. I'm not new to hondas or boost, I know not to rev sky-hi. I said 8500rpm because maybe the pistons are not too good above 8500, not because I'm gonna rev to 8500, but I might get some ctr cams and rev to 8500. I dunno?

"I'm tired of trying to help inconsiderate bastards."

kiss my ***. I didn't diss you at all. You insulted me when you start telling me about some **** that I already know. I'm surprised u didn't start telling me about how unreliable lsvtecs are. I appreciate your and anyone else's help/response, but when you start talking silly talk about revving to 3million rpms, it's hard to take you seriously.

dustin

I really don't have time to post in this thread anymore, but good job making yourself look like a moron

Peace outside.
