Runs great al highway miles no smoke 135,000 b18b can i turbo should i?

 

Great first post n00b. Mine has 213,000 miles, and I almost have all my parts to put my turbo kit on. I think that answers your question.

 

whats your setup? what will your numbers be whp? do you know any body who tunes turbo hondas in new england

lots of people in NE tune hondas. Do a compression test, if that's good, boost away. Check out http://www.homemadeturbo.com there are a lot of guys in CT on their too. Just make sure not to make a noob post over there or you will be flamed ;^)

 

any suggestions on a turbo kit for a stock LS i like the peak boost kits but i wanna see what else is available. I would like to me make between 245 whp and 270whp any suggestions?

 

Mine has 147,000 with 260hp. Do a compression and leak down test to see if it is healthy and go to town.

 

I boosted my B17a 2 years ago with 150,000 on it and i had sprayed a 75 on it before that for about 1/2year. It held 10psi with a revhard kit and DSM 450cc injectors on the VAFC hax for over a year.

 

just boost it now, then start saving money for a re-build when it blows

 

so 10 PSI is safe on a bone stock LS and will make 240-260 whp with the right kit ?/ anybody a fan of superchargers over turbo chargers?

 

do it! LS longblocks go for 750

 

do it! mine has about 205k miles

Thats the key and with good tuning. Dont just think you can slap on a kit and make that amount of hp. Have you thought of putting together your own kit?

I put in my b18b with 130,000 on it. No probs

 

I've got you all. I've got a 91 LS with 235K that I just turbo'd. I have some little tuning bugs to work out, but it is what it is.

 

compression and leakdown tests are the way to go.

 

lol stealthmode... your the man,

O and btw, you guys got awesome products

 

You're too kind.

Project cheap **** in original forum. I've since realized the turbo was shot, so I replaced it. I also came to the realization that the intercooler was a joke and so I'm replacing that as well. Enjoy the mad hoodness.


Well, with the exception of a couple little bullshit things to do, she's ready for raping. 235K miles owns joo.

Do a compression and leakdown test. If the results are good...boost that bitch. what were you planning on using for engine management?
