Boosted LS or Boosted GSR?
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.

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.

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

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.

Re: Boosted LS or Boosted GSR? (MarkC)
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.
