Default My turbo to n/a conversion :P have a few Q though

Well ladies and gentlemen, I have just had the worst luck with my ls/vtec turbo setup, and im looking for more reliability. I am converting the setup back to n/a and I did some research and just want to straighten things out. Its a b18 a/b, bottom gsr head, 84.5 bore.Well I want to rev high of corse, and my question is If I get the GE (golden eagle) girdle kit can I retain my ls crank and be jsut as good as a high reving gsr bottom end correct?

Well I was low 12's in an integra with full interior, and this is my only car. My car did however break down alot because I would always try to make it faster adding this, and tweaking that, and well as u know turbo honda's are very unforgiving Im going back to school soon, and I need something I can beat on. My advice for some good power is to port match all the air entrys/exit, the throttle body to the manifold, the manifold to the head the head to the exhaust manifold. You can expect a big power gain.

yes you can keep your crank by adding a girdle, but you most likely gonna have to line bore the mains after
