I'm A few weeks to getting my turbo up and running in my car.

Im "iffy" about what I chose. I've done countless research and still cant find anything helpful to my setup. I know high compression and turbo don't go, unless tuned properly. I wanted to know what you guys think about this set up and what's the possibilities of this build.

Here's the list of parts already on the car.

block: b18c1
-JE/srp pistons 11:3.1 compression ratio(81.5mm)
-eagle H-beam rods with arp rod bolts
-crank was balanced/polished
-gsr oil pan
-all new bearings and gaskets
-gsr oil pump
-greddy timing belt*
-new water pump
-ARP head bolts*
-New oem head gasket*
-excedy oem replacement clutch
-resurfaced/balanced gsr flywheel
-2000 gsr crank pulley
-new alt, Ac, ps belts

head: p72 gsr*
-skunk2 pro 1 camshafts
-skunk2 cam gears
-portflow titanium dual valve springs n retainers*
-head was hot tanked and pressure tested for leaks*
-skunk2 intake manifold
-skunk2 vtec solenoid cover*
-obd2 gsr throttle body
-ngk spark plugs and wires*
-yowai ss carbon fiber intake*
-Hytech rep headers
-RC 550 injectors

Tuned on hondata s100



I will be changing/adding

-ID1000 injectors
-spec 3 clutch
-walbro 255 fuel pump
-Hondata s300
-aem tru boost gauge/controller

And the kit I will be using is the GO-AUTOWORKS Street X kit.

Please remember I've done research, just "iffy" and want to get some input on this set up. I spoke to Greg and my tuner. Greg recommended this kit and my tuner said my list looks good for about 8-10psi with 300-350whp..

Please keep the negative comments on the low...

what turbo are you going to use? for that hp the garrett 50 trim and precision 5431e cea come to mind as being the popular 300whp turbos

the only drawback i see is the head, why use cams that will beat the **** out of your VT for 350whp? use itr cams, have a much longer VT life and still make 300-350whp.

if you're running this on pump the compression will make the engine snappy but limits boost. had the same talk with my tuner about my jdm itr. we're starting at .5 bar and only if need be trying the .6bar spring

I'll be using the bullseye power S200 extended tip turbo. Well I got the cams installed 5 months ago or so thinking I'd stay n/a... But "according to skunk2, these are pretty fine for turbo applications... What do you mean by "snappy"? Because its gonna be on pump 92.... It is a daily driven vehicle btw....

The higher the comp the more pep the engine has out of boost therefore even without boost it wont be a dog out of the gate.....comp is a bit high for 92 octane but can be done with a nice tuner.

For peace of mind have you considered a water/meth kit to help raise that octane a bit to combat the higher comp ratio on 92 pump gas? AEM makes a really nice kit & might be something you should look into for peace of mind.

just be conservative on the timing and listen and check plugs for detonation

what island u from?

i wouldnt consider 11.3:1 being mid compression. Thats pretty high, although will be fine like u stated with a good tune. However those cams are too big for youre turbo. They do work well with turbo, but thats with large turbo's 61lbs/min of flow or greater. Im not sure what the flow is of that turbo but i would imagine it would be shy of 60lbs. Also like stated above it put a ton of stress on the drivetrain

ek_si808

I'm from Oahu.
I'll check those while tuning thanks!


I'll look into the meth injection kit.


I've seen/read couple people running the pro1. I've even read up that it's all not that bad.... But is it really?

Should I go with a smaller turbo?

ek_si808

Any guru's care to chime in?

ek_si808

Bump. Any more?

kyden

i would go with ITR cams over the pro1 also.

kbouchard1092

I'm With Kyden. You will have a much better powerband with the ITR cams, and much less Stress on Valvetrain.

Also like i stated before i dont think that turbo flows enough for use with the Pro 1's. Again i dont know what the flow rating is of that turbo but i dont think its over 60lbs/min

ek_si808

Maybe I'll throw my old cams in then.

But what about the turbo, is it just right? It's like a Gt30 turbo btw.

ek9.5

sweet cant wait to see your dyno number.
I almost have the same setup 81.5 12:5:1 ratio with 89mm stroke
Skunk2 valve train with pro2 cams.

ek_si808

That's ****en awesome! Looking good. Hopefully I can get numbers in 2 weeks or so..

Whats your full set up if you done mind me asking?

darkhorizon

S200 what? If you have a nice S256 or bigger.. Run that engine setup but turn the boost up and make 450whp+.

ek_si808

It's the s200 series of bullseye power... But yes it's the s256 turbo. If I can handle that many boost then well see how it goes!

I take it ethanol is not readily available in your area? Would be a great way to take advantage of your high compression.

ek_si808

Yeah, I don't think Hawaii has that.. Lol

E85 is making it more and more places. I was just wondering if it was out there.

ek_si808

Yeah bro.... Well I talked with a well known tuner on the island. He said it sounds a like a great build since the turbo is only a .55ar.. What you guys think?

You and this damned 5431 "CEA".. You're trying to sell the hype like its ***** or something. Next think you're wearing a pimp hat with a big feather in it on a street corner... j/k. Its not popular compared to the 5557 and 5857, and you know that..

TheShodan

Probably an S256 or S259 (about 58lbs/min-60lbs/min). Depending on which Housing you picked up, its more than likely a 74mm, which somewhat works, but would be great if a little smaller on the back. Go back down to the ITR or GS-R cams. The Pro1s don't work too well with those, even at 11.0:1 compression.

ek_si808

I've been waiting to see if you'd chime in. Lol, read a few of your posts out there.

But anyways..

Yes it's the S256 but not sure if it's the 74 or 69.5.... I may go with the itr cams.

Just curios, but why won't pro1 cams go well??

blackeg

yep. even for myself at 500hp i think im still a bit small turbo/power for pro1's

rich7777

To much overlap.
