Forgive me if I sound naive, please someone help me out.
I want to turbo my sohc vtec, what parts should I purchase, so that I can have a reliable 8 psi turbo daily. I want to rebuild my block and run a block guard, I know I need new rods, and I also want to buy new pistons and rings.
Can I get some help, so I can start sourcing out the parts in time for the summer
thanks all

 

you don't need to build anything in your block to just run 8psi

You can run 8lbs on an FMU/pump just fine.

 

If you have money to do what ur saying run 12 lbs daily.

 

depends, 8lbs on what turbo?
my sohc was making 244 whp on 10lbs with a t3/t4 , that is a bit much for stock internals.
with a good piston/rod/bearing combo and good tuning your sohc can handle 3-400 whp just fine
now if you just have a small turbo 8psi you can use a fmu and colder plugs and be ok. or even a V-afc and a good fuel pump

good luck!!

That isn't true in all cases... my car was leaning out nicely with an FMU and pump... It all depends what size turbo you have on there.
Why not just put uber on it..

 

well my motor has 130k and i don't know if it has been beaten or not.
I want to do a mild rebuild
What rods pistons and rings do you guys reccomend?
Any shop in the tri state and can partake in this
thanks
NY area i mean
BTW, i need more specific answers.
i appreciate all your help, I'll post up pics in may once I get all my parts settled
being in college sets stuff back.

damn that is some serious power at 10psi . When did you fully spool?

 

1st gear i couldnt get over 7 lbs, but right when i hit second full boost.
from a roll in 2nd id have full boost before 5k, maybe 4500-4700?

So put a different ratio disk in there...

 

might want to invest in some arp head studs to make sure your head doesnt lift
