Just wanting to see what everyone was running on thier stock LS motors. I am running 6psi right now and want to up the boost, but want to keep it safe. Here is my set up:

Stock freshly built B18b
RC500 injectors
Hondata 2b
MSD ignition
Block guard
2.5 exhaust

Let me know what you think

 

I'm running 10 psi daily on my Teg, SAFC & MSD BTM..intercooled..etc... I'd be running 12-14 psi If I had a block guard, 550's and a hondata

 

You can easly double you boost setting safely.
There was a guy on here (i think) that was runing 12psi daily on his ls, and he only had an fmu and fuel pump for fuel deivery.
12psi on a well tuned ls is more then fesable, i would go back to whoever tuned you hondata the first time, crank the boost up and tune it for 10-12 psi daily.That engine can handle it just fine you have the tuning to back it up

 

Thanks guys, i was just wanting to get some feed back. Because i dont want to make that costly mistake. I am getting around 180 whp at 6 psi. Does this sound about right? I was wondering what every one is getting at around 12 psi? Is it a noticeable difference? Thanks again.

 

Well I run 10psi daily on my ls... and yes there is a huge difference from 6psi... Hang on...

 

Hmmmm... you guys are making me reconsider sleeving my engine for now. What kind of power are you guys getting with around 8 PSI? I had a compression check done and it came back 215.210.215.210 w/ 48k so I might just boost til it blows and then rebuild

 

180 HP at the Wheel at 6psi? Are u Auto?? I know auto with 7 psi - 8 psi is around +190hp at the wheel so if your stick I think there's something wrong.

 

No it is a 5- speed, it was tunned on the conservative side. It is a freshly built motor and they took out alot of timing. I am running like a 11.5 to 12.0 a/f ratio. With a bit more tweeking it should have been pushing around 190whp at 6 psi.

 

dont turn the boost up above 8psi unless u have a good way of controling timing. I run 11-13psi daily, whatever im in the mood for, .7deg retard per psi and 12:1 a/f. hondata and 550's. turn up the boost man as long as do it on a dyno

 

Is that on an internally bone stock B18B?

 

Nice numbers BTW

 

I dynoed at 189 at 9psi, I'm auto.... tuned afc hack, could have made more power but I wanted a nice 12.1 fuel ratio throughout.... the guys at the dyno were trying to make me tune it for max power which I could have seen 200whp at 8psi but wasn't interested in the power, was interested in keeping my car so I can drive it to school/work/gf's and back as well as hit up the track every now and again

 

yes it sure is. never been opened ever.

 

And here is DIRep's dyno:

 

OK... I am going to boost my LS and then save up for a rebuild instead of rebuilding and saving for a turbo setup. I am all about maximizing fun

 

yeh boost the stock motor. mines got 93k miles on it, 22k of them boosted. still runs strong.

 

I am all giddy now! I already have most of the parts I'll need, except the turbo kit, this is going to rock! I'll keep you guys posted on my progress... if you care

'99 B18B w/ 48k
AEM EMS
680cc injectors
Walboro 255lph High Pressure
Greddy 60mm Warning Boost and EGT
Greddy TT
MSD Digital 6
Action Clutch Stage 2KS - Soon!
Flywheel (?) - Soon!
RevHard Stage 2C Kit or MaxRev - Ordering very soon!

those are some good #s, DIREP

im running a DRAG3 kit, 2.5 exhaust, just took off the MSD, and ACT clutch. THATS IT.
see my sig for dyno #s at 7psi.

 

dl- u made the same exact #'s as me on 7psi. i think u need hondata now.

mskibbz- looks good keep us informed I always like seeing fast LS's.

 

277whp and 241.5ft-lb tq @ 7300rpm and .8bar (11.8psi)
Bone stock LS motor.

 

Read my sig. That's what my car pushes out.

 

the LS non vtec power. Im a believer in these motors.



thats an old pic of the motor in my hatch.

NOw have a 2.0 sleeved B18b1 in there, lovin every bit. Gonna love it more when hondata is in. MArk is starting to lean me more to AEM. WHo knows.

DIREP: where did you dynoe that way i can make the trek up there and do the same. Dont want to go to protech no offense to them but looking for a good HONDATA tuner.

 

boostaholic and DIRep972 do you guys have any 1/4 mile times?

 

synergy my car was tuned in dallas but by Vaportrail, hes from florida.

i dont have any 1/4 times but hoping they are good. hehe it went 13.3 w/ 40 less hp so we will see.

 

OK guys, I ordered a MaxRev kit, an Action Clutch stage 2md, and a lot more stuff... Hopefully it will all be installed and tuned within a few weeks. I'm going to run a Tial @ 6.8 PSI for now, until I get more comfortable with the turbo setup and my EMS. I'm guessing I should put down somewhere around 200-210whp with a T3/T04E 57 trim .63 AR turbo @ ~7 PSI. I can't wait
