I was thinking of maybe building the block that sits in my engine bay as of now, or building an LS block and boosting that. Not sure what I should do, but if you have any ideas that can help me in my decision making, please send me a PM. Thanks.

if you are going to build an itr set up do it right first time. I've read a lot of mishaps with itr turbo set ups. You gotta spend the money first off and do it right. even then there is a chance itll blow. If you are a budget guy i think lsvtec build is a good economical set up. I've seen pretty sweet numbers on those and they could cost 1/4 less of what a itr build would and if something happened ls blocks are only 350-500 tops. just my 2 cents...


hope it helps

The stock head is all you need for 500+ horsepower, so get yourself some forged rods/pistons and you will be good to go. Forget about the LS torque, you will have plenty with the ITR block/crank setup.

I second that And don't forget to get a good tune and you'll be set.

well problem being I'd still need to have something to drive, I think I will go with the LS block because I can build it over a period of time and still drive my car, then when it's ready just throw it on and keep my ITR short block on the side incase it does blow up

Depends on what times you have in mind. (Mph,E.T's.)

i would build the LS block and set it up for ls vtec. then just switch the head over when you do the swap

Just aiming for 350-400 reliable horse power really.
