I have the opportunity to pick up some 402t cams for $275 shipped. I believe theyre new. If not they are close to it. Is that about right? Or should I keep shopping? Thanks for a quick resonse!!

Thanks man! the car will see some drag and some autocross, but for the most parts its my daily driver. I just wanted something that can haul *** when I need it to, but close to as reliable as a stock integra and hopefully I accomplished that.

thats a good price i paid around 350+ for the ones i had. Being that the cams your looking at are new i would do it. They still perform greatly with boost

**MuGEn FeD**

thats a nice kit i had an exact kit on a stock ls pushed 18 psi, turbo was good for it.only had street tune though so numbers were unkown probly somewher between 300-340. And remember redline for stock ls is not high at all your redline will bet met rather quickly...As Turbo LS mentioned below i'd look into upgrading to a manifold that has the wastegate collecting exhaust fairly versus resting only on the 4th exhaust port.Goodluck w/build

..nice numbers ill be running the 303's soon if you dont mind could you list some specs of the longblock and turbo?

did ur stock ls hold up on 18psi?if so for how long? :Di was thinking of 14psi on that turbo

AMLS4dr200whp

if i remember correctly it was stock bottom end with justin built head and a 57 trim or 60 trim turbo

**MuGEn FeD**

Sure did probly about 4months of hard imean hard banging lol high boost brought out a whole nother aminal..it didn't blow up either I recently tore it all apart and built the block and head and thats where I am now waiting for rebuild. 14 pounds will be plenty of power my 1st tune was on 13 and that was plenty.

Oh wow! Im hoping to tap into 400hp with my setup.thanx for the info man

SloHa+ch

Great bro thanks :D im gonna do 14 i wont bag it much tho lol

Can someone post pics how they ran there vac lines. my wastegate Ts off into my bov n then that line Ts off into my fuel regulator

idk if any one cares or not but heres my recent all motor ls build that I did in a crx. https://honda-tech.com/forums/all-motor-naturally-aspirated-44/basic-all-motor-ls-going-into-very-light-car-2902142/

I just sold the car and Ill probably be going to a sohc turbo again.

The Bov and wastegate try and get them each its own vac line.

vacuum line comes off turbo to wastegate
vacuum coming off bov to vacuum block

For those with cable transmissions, have any of you ever broken a clutch release arm? I've got a B18A1 and went ahead and installed a turbo capable clutch in anticipation of going FI in the near future. I just noticed that my clutch release arm appears to be twisting/cracking and was wondering if anyone else had experienced something similar.

BLU CIVIC

i've had no issues

If the intake manifold doesn't have enough vacuum ports then it can be drilled and tapped for a screw in vacuum nipple or weld one on but cost more.

Blu civic how much was yer vacuum block, when i had my line go from the wastegate to turbo i lost 2psi

BLU CIVIC

it was $36. i also read that if you have it run that way you lose psi vs having it run straight to a vacuum source. i was fine having it run that way. i have a 10.1 psi spring and it read up to 9.2 when it got tuned

You're not necessarily "losing" 2 psi. I'm going to try to explain it, let me know if it doesn't make any sense.

For both scenarios below, I'm going to say you have a 2 psi drop through the intercooler since that's the number that you stated. Lets also say you have a wastegate spring for 10 psi.

Scenario 1.
Vacuum line from turbo to wastegate: You're wastegate is "seeing" the pressure produced directly from the turbo, pre-intercooler drop. Therefore the wastegate is going to maintain 10 psi based on the turbo producing 10 psi not accounting for the intercooler drop. So in reality, you're producing 10 psi at the turbo pre-intercooler drop, but you're intake manifold/engine is only getting 8 psi (10 psi from turbo - 2 psi intercooler drop).

Scenario 2.
Vacuum line from intake manifold/vacuum block to wastegate: You're wastegate is "seeing" the pressure after the intercooler drop. To maintain 10 psi, the turbo produces 2 more psi compensating for post-intercooler drop. Therefore the turbo is really producing 12 psi (12 psi from the turbo - 2 psi intercooler drop = 10 psi at the intake manifold).

So theoretically you're not losing any boost, you're just "controlling" the boost. So if you have a boost controller, you can really run it either way and achieve your desired boost level. If not and you want more boost, run it to the intake manifold. If you search there are debates on which way is better for different reasons such as boost spike, response, etc.

Again, I apologize if my rambling/poor explanation doesn't make any sense.

BLU CIVIC

ok, makes sense

trading my ef sedan tomorrow for a ls swapped coupe. plan on building my own mani setup for a evo 9 turbo. I want quick spool and 280-300whp on around 18lbs. Ill post pics of progress.

idk if any one remembers my old ebay ls-t setup in my hatch that went 11.56 @123 but this will be somewhat like that with a little more fab work

Nice good luck Trevor. I got my slicks whle i was away on vacation. Came home to a nice package. Can't wait to hit up the track. I dont care for how they were shipped. They had them crushed together and taped. Anyone else have this?

hey everyone you guys have been a big help so here we go i have had my b20 boosted for little over 2 years on chrome.. i went with bigger injectors 680 and now it smokes every now and then not consistent.i have alot of condesation in my muffler and some fuel in there.the muffler is always wet..i have had the same guy tune me from day one.we have messed with it for days he thinks i need to get on ectune instead of chrome so he can adjust more in the injectors......what do u guys think? thanks.. i dont want to spend the money and that not be it.....

Hey guys, some really great info in this thread. Been reading a lot of it, but there are just so many pages. I have a few questions about an ls-t setup i am shooting for.

First off, trying to decide on a turbo. I am shooting for 350-395whp and i want something that will give lots of power across the powerband, but especially more towards the mid to high range. I also want it to spool rather quickly although not so quick that it sacrifices traction. what turbo would you guys suggest?

Also, I want to fully build an ls bottom end and since i would be resleeving anyway I want to bore it to 2.0l (84mm right?). My question is that when it is bored, will the stock head dimensions still be suitable, or will I need to widen the diameter of the head chambers to match the 2.0l bottom end (not exactly sure what this process is called, milling the head?).

Lastly, what pistons would you recommend for the 2.0l setup? I was thinking something with 9.5:1 compression so I can get some low-end power.

Thanks for reading and the info in this thread, this thread has inspired me to restart my boosted ls civic coupe project
