I'm new to turbo charging.
Which motor would be better for turbo? better as in power and reliability. And how many boosts can be expected for stock motor?

Thanks

 

well a LS can handle about 50,000 boosts, same with the GSR but if you got the foot print gas pedal, and pool ball grip you could easly hit 60,000 boosts.

 

GSR motor is better IMO, as far as power is concerned.

 

GSR has the ability to make more power and hit lower times with the same amount of boost.

 

Lots of boosts

 

 

Actually my turbo kit from Importparts.com came with an expiration date. With a $20 gauge it tells me how many I have left. I have about 1500 left. Sucks....but I think the $3K was worth it.

 

Ls over Gsr for FI. Call me dumb or whatever but thats just how I look at it.

 

i like both, they have dissadvantages and advanges to both just FRICKIN PICK one. LS has lower compression and has a little more torque, the gsr ofcoarse already stock has more power but higher compression. depends.

 

vtec turbo

 

nah its all about the b16 block with the ls head on it. Then u get the best of both worlds. If you never heard of this concept, its called the "SteinFranken" conversion or vtec/ls

 

dude... why choose? just put both motors in your car and turbo em both.

 

vtec/ls

 

yea u knoe v-tech/ls will smoke ure Jackson Racing Superblower will even at 22.5 boosts

 

SOHC Vtec/LS

 

vtec/ls...hahahaha

 

everyones all laughing at the vtec/ls but not my first post, i died laughing when i first wrote it, damn im a dork

 

HAHAHAHHAHAH he said a foot print peddle.

 

Whatever you get... don't get the APC footprint pedal as I paid over $50 for mine and it only gave me 29 boosts, not 99 like advertised !

 

haha... this whole topic was pretty funny. boosts... vtec/ls.... lol

GS-R always makes more power. LS can prolly take a psi or two more boost(s) and maintain the same reliability.

 

i forgot 2 mention, dont forget to buy 3 OEM honda head gaskets and JB weld them together to lower your compression. Just make sure that sucker is waterproof.

All in all, i would get some NOS, hook it up to the main AC line carefully and you should be safe.
