wanna make about 300 whp as a daily driver. i'm going to use a gsr trans for sure if u do the b18b swap. but which motor will be better for boost? i'm just breaking into b series. i drive a boosted d15b right now. thanks

honest answer is

PERSONAL PREFERENCE

Id go with a GSR over the LS engine....having the better bottom end and better flowing head is going to be a lot more fun on the street IMO

same thoughts. i've just heard so much about the ls lovin boost.

yes man so much fun and love the tq, but really depends what kind of power ur looking for as well

blackeg

um... heres what ive done over the past 4 years.

turbo'd an ls, made 240whp 200 ftlbs at 10 lbs boost.

turbo'd my friends gsr, made 300/210 at 9 lbs boost.

both setups had the same turbo, t3t4 57 trim. the gsr is incredibly more fun to drive on the street

that is the exact setup i wanted to run... t3t4 57 trim garrett on a stock block gsr... but i'm worried about reliability because this will be my dd... can i make 300 whp on a stock block gsr with no problems?

what about lsvtec

blackeg

yeah its reliable, get it tuned well.

i tuned that gsr in about an hour, air fuel was a safe 11.2-11.5:1 and i think it was running 20* timing at 10 psi on the map.

it hits full boost of 8 psi at like 3800 rpm and will creep toward 9ish psi around redline. its a peakboost kit with a full 3" turbo back exhaust no cat

Im using a GT3255b which is a variation of the 57 trim on my daily driver stock internal GSR and ive been at 315/216 for this entire season...i made 275/194 all last season too

So to answer your question, YES you can make 300whp + or - and still have good reliability as a daily....

boosting an ls at 15 psi 330whp daily driver. no problems at all, guarantee reliability, you just need a good tune. tuning is everything when you boost. if there is one thing that you dont want to cheap out on it is tuning.

o ya i am running on E85... That helps a lot!
