Truth, especially if you're out of the Los Angeles area. So far it's been on okay out here in Santa Barbara.

 

If I needed it I would. Right now I have a BDL 68mm and its been sticking for a while. Since I have a Victor X mani I'm at least going with a 70mm, thinking about buying the Omni one, it looks legit for $99

 

Gotta love L.A.

Gotta love UCSB too...Couches on fire on Del Playa, some dude on a bike that delivers kegs, the bagel cafe, burritos from Freebirds, Pizzas from Woodstock's

 

andy, what happened to you showing up in the reject squad lately? can't post there no more? what'd we do to ya? you avoiding someone?

 

got tired of all the million pages in one day and useless babbling about nothing about cars

 

so whats up with the build thread? just gonna let it die?

 

LOL I know!! Full-Race FTW!!850whp rated.. I bought it used from a guy cheap...Its one of those things I maxed my last intercooler out and I said I didnt want to have to keep upgrading I figured I wasnt hitting that any time soon..

Andy getting the jdp, my gf is getting it for me for christmas haha..She asked what I wanted and I said that or jdm headlights...its to hard for me to spend like $250 on the lip so ill let her hahaha

 

yep. as of now, i'm done with the car and have no intentions of finishing it. its just one of those bad luck cars... if i dont get rid of it this winter, maybe i'll finish it next year, but thats a big maybe as of right now

lol nice jj. my ex bought my jdm fenders for me

 

disappointin' AP, disappointing.. but do what you gotta do. lol. lucky ****'s i wish my gf bought me parts.

 

yeah i dont know man...i've just never had luck with it. i've got my 94 ex coupe now and i'm pretty happy with it so far

 

i was just hoping you would finish up the turbo on it, as thats what i plan on doing to mine but stock internals with low boost; was gonna ask you for advice since i got none what so ever from the FI forum. Meh.

 

ahh ok. sorry man. did you look in here....

https://honda-tech.com/forums/forced-induction-16/lst-ls-t-turbo-b18a-b18b-setups-1323059/

LOTS of good info in there

 

thats exactly where i posted my question(s) and i didnt feel like going through 800+ pages. i didnt get a single response.

but meh, ill find the info i need elsewhere.

 

oh, damn. i haven't looked in there for a few days so thats why i didnt see your question. what were you tryin to figure out

 

lol i posted my questions up a while ago, not recently, but if you got time to school me here are my plans and goals. first of all its stock motor, 257,xxx original miles, it runs strong and has no problems other than an oil leak from the cam seal so im not even sure if it would be a smart idea to boost such a high mileage motor, my goals in terms of whp is in the 250-300 range with stock internals. do-able? can i even tune with obd0? going to be a street car, i just wanna know i have the power available if i need it.

 

its def. doable on stock internals. but with that much mileage i'd highly recommend a fresh rebuild of the bottom end first. after that, a decent turbo setup, fuel pump and injectors, and a good tune you should be able to reach 250ish on around 10-12 pounds or so

 

told you i'd edit this

 

If you really want it to be reliable, rebuild it...It may seem to run strong but at the end of the day it has 257,xxx miles on it lol...Have you done compression or leak down on that motor to see how strong it really is?

The 250-*300*whp part is a little high for a stock ls...the head doesnt flow that well..

And the obd0 you can tune but, really just spend $200 get a jumper harness and a p28, your tuner will be much happier and you will to...The car will run alot better and will make better power due to tuning advantages

 

Drama in western Pa lol

 

oh snaps!

And to Hydro DA, you get what you pay for.............. Power doesn't come being cheap, we see that time and time again.

Follow JJ's advice, oh and fix your cam seal if its leaking!

 

yeah $6 cam seal shoulld have no reason not to be fixd lol

 

haha, thanks guys. well i just turned 18 in october, no job, no real income, so as soon as i find something ill start piecing together my set up. i haven't done a compression or leak down test, but i do plan on rebuilding the bottom end. Oh one more thing.. i wanna keep my a/c and 91 front bumper WITHOUT hacking it all up. am i crazy for thinking its possible? **flame suit on**

 

jj....you can easily make 250-300 on a stock ls. i've seen it done several times. if you look in the turbo ls thread, there are guys in there who have hit 400 on a bone stock motor already, although most of them stay in the 250-300 range. just saying its done on the regular, thats all. but, definitely rebuild that motor first since its got 257xxx miles on it! lol

 

goooood luck. its one hell of a tight squeeze in a da's engine bay. not saying it cant be done, but it wont be easy. as for the bumper, it all depends on what intercooler you go with

 

well i honestly hate the look of the 92-93 bumpers.. and i hate the look of hacked up 90-91 bumpers. but hey we'll see what happens when i actually start buying parts. thanks for all the help guys.
