I want to go turbo here in the next year, and I was wondering if I should just boost the stock block, or be safe and build it first. If I build it, would pistons, rods, sleeves and cams be enough, or would I have to do more? Also, my goals are around 300-350hp. what kind of turbo would you guys recommend? Precision, Turbonetics, Garrett, Greddy? And what kind of intercooler? I don't want a kit, so please don't recommend it. This is all for a 99 ls, and help would be great. Thanks.

 

it all depends on your goals and money

 

If money is not an issue. And I just stated my goals. I also want to hit 11s. Also, what size injectors do you recommend. And what size fuel pump?

 

for the block if money is not an issue get sleeves, rods, low comp pistons, i think some guys have been in the 11s with a stock ls block, youll have to search

for the fuel rc 550cc injectors, walboro 255 intank pump

heres a thread for you to get an idea

 

Thanks. I will have about 7 grand to spend next summer. So that is about my limit. Plus I want to get a brake kit with that.

 

$7000

You could easily hit 11's with that and have money left over. Just search the FI forum for all of your questions first.

 

Ok, thanks. But how much building should I do?

Set a horsepower goal that will get you into the 11's and build from there.

 

Will around 350 get me in the 11s? And what kind of pistons, rods, sleeves would be good?

 

Nobody can help me out?

 

how about getting your block sleeved by benson, je pistons, crower or eagle rods, hondata, 550s, maybe a fullrace kit, or parts from and a few other misc items

 

Ok, thanks for the advice. What kind of turbo would be good? Precision, turbonetics, Garrett?

 

If you want to make big power do a search on sc61 and you will get a ton of threads and opinions. I guess the spool later in teh rpm band but hang on when they do

 

Thanks.

 

What would be a better turbo? I don't really want that much power.

 

Nobody?

 

350 WHP is cake on a stock sleeves with good tuning, that should net you high 11's on slicks with the right weight and with a good driver

T3/T4e would be more than enough or get a SC61 like what everyone else is doing

 

What do you think it would take to hit 11s on street tires. And you are saying that I don't need to resleeve it? And doesn't the SC61 take a long time to spool up? I don't want to wait forever.

 

well too much power at low rpms is going to make your tires cut loose alot easier, so i dont think alot of mid and high range power will be that big of a deal...you'll only have to deal with lag till about 4k or so and if i remember correctly the sc61 is usually up to full boost by 5.5k rpms

 

Ok, thanks. So is the SC61 really worth the money, or should I just go with a T3/T4? And is the AEM EMS really worth the money, or should I just go with Hondata?

 

hey bro. this is an idea. jsut go get a Rev Hard stage 2 kit with a hondata 2b and be happy all for about $3200-$3500. and have 300-30hp.

 

Thanks for the idea, but I don't really want a kit. For the reading I've been doing, I've figured I could get more power out of a custom setup.

 

Anybody else?

 

You know my advice, start small learn and then go bigger. 11 second integras dont happen overnight . It takes alot of $, time, patience, experience....

My suggestion is go with a revhard kit, or a good custom kit, the sc61 is a badass turbo, but it's not for everyone. I would look into something smaller.
