probably around 10:1 , I would know better once the bottom end is built and can take measurements and also will depends how many thousandths they take off the head

Haha thats awesome you found where he works. That should put him on the spot and hopefully fork over the cash and take his junk trans back. And i agree with you on the higher compression. After riding in a few higher comp. cars that are forced induction i really like the feel now. I still like my cam setup and powerband but i like the feel of more low end power when just ripping around town a bit where gaining 12lbs of boost to feel some power isnt necessarily easy in traffic, or legal

Honestly guys, going to jail over 150 bucks isnt worth it to me. so im going to take the 150 dollar loss and learn a valuable lesson. Straight up as pissed off as i am if i go there no doubt i will hurt him so its better i stay away and take the loss and just do the right thing on my part. Karma is a bitch and one day it will all come back on that fuuucking punk assss bittccchh

Re: LST / LS-T Turbo B18A B18B setups
Back to the boosted setup, the turbo is charging the cylinder with positive pressure. So the amount of lift isn't nearly as important as the amount of time the valve is left open. As long as the valve is lifted the turbo will be forcing air into the cylinder, and the engines vacuum and draw is negated. Relatively speaking this makes the lift number almost dismissed and the duration number becomes the priority. However as Peter said you want as little overlap as possible, otherwise you'll blow your fresh boost charge right outta the head into the exhaust and out of the system, less power.
You'll find that the cams may have a shorter lift, but the excess material has been pushed off the top and down to the sides. They will remain much fatter as the lobe gets smaller and rejoins the cam's base circle.

SOB... ls-turbo im kind of in the same boat as you just not as bad.
i had a friend of mine go pick up a trans for me. since i wasnt able to..it was suppose to be a GSR trans..then i saw it. it says s4c and from what im reading. thats a b16 trans..id rock it. but i really wanted a gsr. instead of my old tired cable LS.
idk if i should keep it and use it..or sell/trade n get a GSR. like i wanted.

Re: LST / LS-T Turbo B18A B18B setups
Ok guys I DO have a post up here on LS-T vs. LS-T V/TEC and im NOT just trying to get posts on here, im legitamitly looking for all the advice i can get. Now im still undecisive about which way i want to go now. Im REALLY diggin this thread and would like u guys' advice. I want to go with ITR or GSR cams for the higher RPM range and a wider and more efficent powerband for the GT35r that im installing, my power goals are in the neighborhood of about 400hp more or less.....I was informed that this turbine is built for 600hp and will put out around 350 on a complete stock LS setup. So it seems to me I wouldn't have to do much from here on out either way I go (LS or B16 head) for mods to reach this goal, and a good tune would put me over the top, but my question is what mods do i need to make to make this car a decently reliable car that i can drive on pump gas with my achievable goal of 400hp still in mind (93 oct) because I don't want this car shitting the bed six months in after all of the money and time spent. ALL opinions and advice greatly appreciated, thanks guys!

Get a boost controller and turn the boost down and drive it on lees power + greater reliability and you can turn the boost up to race someone. thats the true way to keep it reliable

Re: LST / LS-T Turbo B18A B18B setups
Have a question. I have an EVO III 16g as most of you know. Yesterday on the dyno I was boost creeping on the factory wastegate to 16psi. Took the o2 housing off and used an air compressor to check the wastegate flapper opening when the actuator moves. It seems that it doesn't open far enough, but is not being blocked by the housing or anything. If I got a Forge adjustable internal wastegate, will that enable me to adjust the opening of the flapper wider while still sealing shut when needed? Thanks.
Oh and rough street tuned at the stock wastegate setting, with Hondata set to cut off when boost creep occurs, on the low *** rating mustang dyno I go to, I laid down the following numbers. Run was cut off at 6000rpms because of it creeping all of the sudden. Roughly around 12psi on my 8.6:1 compression.
234whp and 210wtrq. Full spool around 3300rpms. More to come.

Re: LST / LS-T Turbo B18A B18B setups
i dont understand what u mean... u say you want to replace yur cable ls tranny... but that you want a gsr tranny to replace it. the only cable gsr tranny would be off a b17.... and the b17 tranny is practically identical to a b16.... so unless you have a cable to hydro conversion that u didnt mention i would just keep the b16 tranny.
my da had a cable to hydro conversion and i used a gsr tranny and it was my favorite...

i just dont know if i should use the b16 that i got (that was suppose to be a gsr) or sell/trade and get a gsr. that i had my heart set on.
