hey

Can someone please help me out! I am wondering how I can build a LS motor to handle turbo with out blowing it up. If you can...tell me the parts i will need, what brand to go for? websites that may help? or a shop in VA/Dc/MD area that rebuild motors? and how much?
thanks!

I think they are in the DC area, give them a call....

If you have $$$:

JE pistons
Crower rods
Golden Eagle Mfg. Resleeving
JE Blockguard
Hondata 4b
RC 550+cc injectors
ARP head studs
Inline Pro Headgasket
New valvesprings/retainers
Ferrera titanium valves

Makes for a very happy motor and a very happy driver.

Did I forget anything?

ummm...how much $$$ are you talkin about there?

there is not need for a rebuild for relatively low boost on an LS...I think you could safely boost 12psi daily, if you have correct tuning. To run this daily, I would buy a standalone, although not needed, you could easily turn up the boost to even higher, seeing as how the LS is a low compression motor. Don't let people fool you into thinking you need to completely rebuild to run boost. Put it this way, if you don't build your engine, and it's not tuned, KABOOM! If you build your engine, and it's still not tuned, guess what, KABOOM with $5,000 worth of parts! Depending on what you wanna boost, I would almost always reccomend standalone tuning before compeletely rebuilding with strong internals. Mind you, they never hurt anyone (usually )

give us an idea of how much you wanna boost?

youre lookin to spend $2000+ on a good built motor.

ummm...so a stock LS can handle 12 psi? how do you tuned the engine?
and what is standalone? ummm...so a stock LS can handle 12 psi? how do you tuned the engine?

Go here. This will tell you all you need to know about turboing your LS.

JE blockguard? they don't make a blockguard

and a blockguard isn't necessary if you're getting the block sleeved by GE.

the inlinepro headgasket isn't necessary as well since you'll get the pistons at the compression ratio you want. it is only necessary if you have a stock block and want to lower the compression ratio to avoid detonation.

i'm not sure if ferrea even makes titanium valves but, if they do, that would be overkill and stainless steel would be fine.

ummmm...that site dont say anything about turboing LS, or anything about cars...or am im lookin at the worng place? or?

shamoo

Oh, I know lots of it was overkill....I just got happy listing things. Hehe.

I have JE's blockguard in my car. Got it from Importparts. Their site lists a Nuformz guard, but the person I talked to said it was JE. It also looks different than what's pictured on the site.

Ferrera does make cyro-titanium valves too. My friend has two sets of these in his basement. I drool over them everytime I see them. Again, overkill, but what the hey.

Are u sure the blockguard that importparts carries isnt a JG blockguard, i believe thats what they told me............which is why i didnt get theirs.

93lsivic - very appropriate

call inline pro(springfield, virginia) and talk to them. your finances will have everything to do with how much power you end up making and how you make it. you can run 12 psi cheaply w/ your stock block, a t3/4 turbo kit, afc, fmu, injectors. if you have more to spend, then you will be able to make more power.(built motor, standalone,bigger turbo)

thanks for the info guys.

yeah i live about 30mins away from them, i been to there shop before and its real nice with tons of cars being fixed up, yeah ill give them a call, but i need to find a place to do the LS swap in my hatch =p

Project_Integra

Based on the contents of that page, ie. "Spoon Feeding" I think he was suggesting that you do a search on the subject and/or try to find a little more information on the subject yourself.

jinxproof99

they can do that too.

CivicHB_92

yeah i know
but im trying to get alot of info and try to do the swap on my own...seems fun and interesting
