Boosting an LSVTEC?
Hey everyone i have a B18 block with a B16 head type r internals and a GSR ECU. I was just wondering how good it would be for my engine if i got it sleeved then turboed it the turbo kit would either be a drag kit or just a custom one but would it be safe to boost this engine? i am aware the compression is prob really high but even if it was sleeved and tuned properly how long do you think it would last on say 6-10 PSI for starters? just curious

Re: Boosting an LSVTEC? (B16OnTop)
It wont be any less safe than boosting anyother engine if its properly built.
Just out of curiosity, what pistons are you going with?
FYI: B18b sleeves are no weaker than b18c sleeves.

well right now i have ITR pistons in the future i'd prob get rid of them for something that can handle more boost but is that a good piston for boosting or not?

Re: (B16OnTop)
It all depends on your set up. If you are gonna sleeve the block I would go with a set of forged pistons and new rods. If you wanna keep the ITR pistons I really wouldnt boost it that high. There is a local guy that turboed his type r and at 5 psi he put down like 250 something. My advice would be to sleeve it and get some different pistons in there.

ok so i decided ill prob. just get all new pistons, rods, and a new gasket but on the other hand lets talk some fuel management.What size injectors do you think would be best for a turbo lsvtec? then what type of computer for the management ive heard alot about the SAFC but how much better is a hondata then a SAFC?

Re: (B16OnTop)
I say keep your motor setup, swap pistons, rods, sleeves if u can get some 550's hondata tune and ull be happy and safe. I myself have thought about doinf that combo but if i did i would for sure du elike 9.1 9.5 compression, and for sure get some good beefy rods. to me my setp
i eventually wanna do is ls block/b20 block with pistons/rods, type R head(so i can rev a little higher and have a good flowing head, gsr tranny+ presicion turbo inline pro mani, damn here i go spending $ again.
