I've decided to build my motor before I turbo it. From what I head read, it would be more cost efficient to swap a b16 head than to do work to the LS head. The build that I'm looking into is eagle rods, JE pistons (stock LS compression) and b16 head. Anything else I should look into getting? Also, will I be able to make a considerably more power with this LSVtec setup than just on the stock block, thanks.

uhhh a girdle for the main caps(optional). I am not going with it, from all other lsvtec i seen. You know you have to get the vtec water pump and oil pump. Seem like you will be set. If you could get your block sleeved while your doing all of this.

 

forget the girdle its not worth it...

best upgardes:
headstuds
gsr/itr oil & h20 pump w/ tbelt stuff

extras:
GE oil feed adapter for turbo feed and vtec feed lines
upgraded valvetrain...like 1mm oversized valves but that is only if you want to make a real lot of power....

w/ the upgraded pistons & rods you should easily be able to obtain 400whp w/ a decent sized turbo...pretty much same route im going, but i have a pnp gsr head

mmm need we say torque
