Re: LST / LS-T Turbo B18A B18B setups
@ blu civic, my mistake. i read your mods. again on that civic and its an all motor setup.
so i assumed at first you had a turbod b16.
but like i said, if you made over 260hp at 9psi. What did you do to get it so high?
cause i havnt seen a setup make that much power with so little psi on a stock LS.

Its most likely getting oil in it and then condensation is building up in the can and mixing with the oil, this is why i never recomend a drainback catch can system because then that milky oil ends up in your crankcase and goodbye engine bearings.
as long as your not draining it back into your engine your fine. Where is your catch can lines connected to the engine?

Re: LST / LS-T Turbo B18A B18B setups
Here is the dyno graph on that single cam i tuned. It was street tuned and he took it to a dyno a year later to see what kind of power it was making. The plot for torque near the HP reads 195.7 but you see it peaks earlier above the HP rating of 204.9 and the actual torque reading although not displayed was 207.7ftlbs and ths was actually done on 7.7 psi boost as you can see on the dyno graph
Car ran 13.57 with a dx transmission and drag radials with a 2.2 60ft missing third gear. they he killed the trans so no runs after that. He has yet to run it with an ex trans in the car because he fixes them and then grenades them shortly after driving it like an animal and breaking shift forks lol. Currently the car is also no longer running as he kept turning up the boost. It was only tuned to 10 psi and although i did have enough fuel im not sure what the timing looked like that high of boost so he cracked a sleeve after a couple weeks of beating it up at 12 psi. he said they car was much faster on 12 psi which im sure due to the fact that the 57 trim was in its most effecient range and making good hp per psi boost

Re: LST / LS-T Turbo B18A B18B setups
so i was told, that the dynajets show lower on the hp/tq.
and that there is about a 17% difference from a dynapack.
i did the calculations and my car is at 252hp/234tq @ 8psi.
which is probably why you guys said my numbers are pretty low.
any insight on this?

JG303's ! They might be able to clean the journals up depends how bad the damage is. cant take much material off otherwise wont right right in the head i would imagine.

Re: LST / LS-T Turbo B18A B18B setups
well yes and no. it can be clean up and not cause an issue. Unless that whole journal is scratched up then its no good.
Im actually running a crank right now that has a chip in one of the main journals. i chamfered the edges and polished the journal, been rockin for years with it no issues. doesnt bother the bearings at all. its ghetto but it works LOL

Re: LST / LS-T Turbo B18A B18B setups
Same as pump gas but consume 35-45% more fuel so in the end your paying about the same amount and have to fill up more often. E85 if for people wanted bigger power than pump can handle

Your engine management should have 2step built into it. Even crome has it but doesnt work well on regular crome. only crome pro gold has fuel and ignition adjustments to be able to build boost.

Re: LST / LS-T Turbo B18A B18B setups
Currently running 20psi on my ls with stock cams on pump gas. My question for you guys is running the same boost 20psi. What would I gain more power from? Jg303's or a B16 vtec head??? Possibly could even run jg303's and water/meth for the same cost of head swap

Re: LST / LS-T Turbo B18A B18B setups
This is all a work in progress, so be gentle 
B16A Head with B18B1 Block
5Zigen/Jasma 2.5'' exhaust (magnaflow piping)
Skunk2 B-Series Tuner Series Camshaft Stage 3
Skunk2 B-Series Tuner Series Valve Springs
Skunk2 B-Series Titanium Retainers
Go-AutoWorks "Street" Turbo kit
Tial 50MM BOV
GSR Rebuilt in 2011 Transmission. 'Positrack' (don't know if i spelt that right)
Ostrich 2.0
AEM CAI
Skunk2 Pro Series IM
ATI Super Damper Harmonic Damper 'Street'
CP Pistons - B18B - 81mm Bore 10.5:1 (Still debating on size and yes rods too)
AEM Water Methonal Injection kit (I'm leaning away from this, but its still on my list)
440cc DSM Injectors
Skunk2 Composite Fuel Rail
Walbro 255 LPH Fuel Pump
B16A2 Throttle body 60mm vs the b16a1 at 58mm (Slight adjustment, but its cheaper then spending 300$ on a new one.
Tuned with Crome
This is it for now. I have tons of suspension upgrades as well, I can list them if you're interested
Aiming for 350+whp
