I'm one of the lurkers in the background....Its taken quite awile (several years). Just trying to do everything right the first time. Im hoping to finish this summer. The motor just lacks some ARPs and a head gasket. As far as the turbo goes...everything you don't see, I need. Im located in mississippi so I'll be hitting up the florida boys for some tuning (Vaportrail). Thanks to everyone that helped thus far. Especially Geoff and Viren.
The motor is an LS/VTEC: golden eagle block 84.5mm weisco pistons, eagle rods, the block was girdled as discussed a few weeks ago (motor work done by VS racing AKA-Viren). The head has type r intake valves porcelin coated and ferrea SS oversized exhaust vales (DPR valve job), the intake and exhaust ports have been port matched and the ole P&P. The turbo is a T3 60-1 with a turbonetics stage 5 exhaust housing. And last but not least, full-race mainfold.
Enjoy....I know I will.

falcongsr

rondigs

....gotta do it right the first time
The college budget really dampens things though

JDEM1

nice manifold

rondigs

Thanks. Geoff just required that I work all summer in a sweat shop to pay it off.

rondigs

Obviously the head is built...However, I need some insight. The combustion chamber is in the stock form (I.E. not refigured for 84.5mm). WITHOUT disassembling everyhting, what can I do to improve flow. Take some edges off on the outside of the combustion chamber?

looks sick man. i cant wait for it to run!

inspyral

that milkcrate is about to buckle!

rondigs

So you like my motor stand. LOL!!! Anyone have insight to the question I posted eariler?

Full-Race Geoff

dont touch anything, leave the head stock. you might not think its the best thing to do, but youll thank me when your on the dyno.

rondigs

Pretty much the same thing viren said. Sounds good to me.

b18bturbo

very nice ronald. I hope this motor really turns some power. Th Girdles i can install on any LS to convert them to GSR spec. I also can drill and tap the oil squirters as well now. We just completed full b18b spec block ot GSR spec.

Viren, can you just get GSR main caps and girdle and install it? Or is it more complicated than that?

I doubt I am going to tear down my motor again anyways.

b18bturbo

we dowel and machine the caps to make the even and them fit them in .same principle as what Geoff has come up with...

turbohonda

To put the gsr girdle on the LS block all you need to do is bolt it on with gsr main bolts and align hone it. However once you do that you will need a gsr oil pan, pickup, and windage tray.
