what else can i do to my LS motor to make it better for turbo? i already have pistons, rods, metal heas gasket, valve springs.

 

Get a bigger set of cams and have the block sleeved.

 

all arp hardware is always good insurance

 

wuts arp hardware

 

I just cracked a sleeve yesterday on my B18B. I have rods, pistons, arp, block guard, and cracked my fourth sleeve @ 20 psi. oops. have s-afc hack W/ 450 cc injectors. ran 13.98 @ 108 at 14 psi on 17in wheels. So my point is get your block sleeved.

 

arp makes head studs and other bolts and studs. How far do you wanna take the build up?

 

i want to at least run high 12's or low 13's...what do you guys suggest?

 

help

your point doesn't prove anything, im sure most people here know not to run 20psi on stock sleeves. not to mention at 14psi and only running a 13.98, either u cant drive or somthing with your setup is wrong? what is your turbo setup and specs. but your right sleeving is a good thing

 

or maybe it was the 20 psi on 450s and afc haha

 

but i was told that i dont need sleeves becaust i am not running high horsepower...only 10 psi

 

how's he running that much boost 14-20 on an afc hack? 3 bar map sensor? actualy, y am i askin, he blew it.

 

hey guys..this is my forum..stop talkin about something else..haha jk

 

If you are only gonna run 10 psi you (should) be ok with stock sleeves. If you have to go faster in the future, and I can promise that you will, you might want to think about sleeving. IF you think you will be happy with 10 psi, Id just get the arp hardware and balance the bottom end and call it good. Maybe thermal coat your exhaust valves and combustion chamber.

 

You could get rid of the LS head period and get a Vtec head and you would see huge gains with VTEC.....................

 

get it sleeved and turn the boost up

You don't really need to sleeve it, it's been proved that the stock sleeves are quite strong. It's all about fuel/timing management and tuning. I mean, you have a super sleeved block, but it isn't gonna withstand detonation if its unproperly tuned. So get Hondata, EMS, etc...

 

Sleeve that block if you want it to last forever. Putting a bigger set of cams in the head, would kind of be like having vtec all the time, but it's probably cheaper to find a used b16/b18c head.
