ok, i have some questions. planning on building up an ls vtec for turbo. what are some of your setups...?

this is what im thinking...

LS block and crank - have
b16 head - have
golden eagle conversion kit
81mm 10:1 forged pistons - any ideas?
forged rods with bolts - any ideas?
oem bearings
b16 water pump - have
b16 oil pump - have
cometic head gasket for boost
arp head studs - have
cams - any ideas?
valve spring - any ideas?
b16 intake manifold - have
450cc injectors - have
t3/t4 60 trim - have a t3 super 60 from last year but ill upgrade
uberdata - have
b16 tranny with quaife lsd - have
underdrive pully with no ac or PS
manifold, intercooler etc - have already from last year.

how much boost can i run safly? i want to make 300whp and rev to 8000. possible? and what if i were crazy and want to make 400whp? what would i need to upgrade besides injectors?

would recommend that you bore it out to 81.5mm
you will also need bigger injectors like 750cc for 400+

will the crank be balance?

 

im going to get a shop to build the bottom end. yes im going to do everything the right way

 

why do you recomment bore it out? i dont really trust anyone to do that around here. just maybe a line hone

sounds like you are on the right track to the power you want, you may need bigger injectors, and walbro 255 pump

 

yeah i have a 255 and ill be getting larger injectors. probably 700cc RC's. what kinda of pistons and rods should i get? will i be able to make 300hp with the stock b16 head?

 

we made 400whp with a stock b16 head and type r cams

 

what else was in that setup? stock sleeves? forged rods and pistons?
