Im loking in to building an LS vtec motor and putting a 200 shot if nitrous in it. My question is what are the big weaknesses on an LS motor? I all ready plan on running h beams and a stud girdle. Maybe sleave the block??? If im gonna run nitrous I might as well go big. This will acually be my first import motor im building. I have only built domestics im the past, Im impressed with the quality of stock Honda parts they can take quite a bit of abuse.

 

CP pistons, and sleeve the block, maybe even get it O-ringed while your at it

Don't o-ring you don't need the o-rings,if your on a budget just use a eagle rod,srp piston and getting the block sleeved is up to you .if it was me i would.i ran 120 with no sleeves but it wasn't 200.

 

Stock sleeves should be ok, as long as its not detonating hard. Gl with the setup and keep us updated!

 

Should make for a pretty fun street machine. If i detonate on that much juice I might as well kiss my motor and hood good bye, LoL I may have a hard time with traction... maybe a 2 stage set up would be a little smoother???

 

good thing you asked this becuase i was just about to ask the same thing. i guess tuning is the key to everything. any suggestions? lmk how your set-up goes. and sorry to ***** your thread.

My set-up

-ls block
-ls crank
-Z10 motorsports main gridle
-eagle rods
-JE pistons 9:1 cr about 10:1 on the ls/vtec w/the head milled.
arp headbolts
stock gsr head milled .20 mm
itb's
direct port (150 shot)
