LST build
Ok well Im deciding not to boost my stock LS after getting everything I need to boost my stock LS in my EF.
Instead im picking up a b18 longblock missing a crank but has everything else for a really good price and im going to build that on the side while I just DD my all motor ef
What do you want cheap, reliable, fast? ( pick 2 ) Reliable, Fast
What type of driving do you do? Quick street car DD
what are your power goals? 350whp
What I have? Full turbo kit literally no ebay junk only thing Im missing is a brand name boost gauge and the other 3 gauges, walbro fuel pump which will be the last thing I get and oil feed line kit.
I also have the cometic headgasket and arp head bolts already
What do I plan on doing to the side motor?
This is where I need your help, I am very uneducated on this part.
So far I plan on stock sleeves with a bore to 81.5mm and hone. Port and polish head with cams and upgrading valve train.
I found brand new supertech pistons with rings 81.5mm and compression ratio of 9:6:1 with a non vtec ( LS head ). Also brand new eagle rods from the same guy for a really good price, can someone give me there opinion on this.
Another question I have is the crank part this is literally where I have no idea what to do with it. Just give me some info on what I have to do with the crank the only part I know is balancing it at a machine shop

Re: LST build
Stock cranks are balanced from factory and they're forged, do a b16 crank higher revs. But please use arp fasteners. Those r weak in an ls. Get a good tune. My tune guy told me not to get fuel pump until I know I need it. Joe from Locash in phx

Re: LST build
Ok so ill stick with a stock LS crank then, Im getting tuned by TurboGixxer Aka Kenny when im done, very reliable tuner. And why arp fasteners im only going for 350whp, stock ls have seen 300 and held up fine. Im just wondering the reasoning behind getting arp fasteners anyone else have input on this?
