change internals depending on what your power goals are. you dont have to.

 

On stock internals you can run up to 10psi give or take. <U>The key is tunning</U> if it is tunned right you will not have any problems. It wouldnt hurt to sleeve it and do sme head work later on if you want more boost.

do a compression test to make sure the piston rings and valves are all sealing good. If you get good results.. go for it. I was making 260whp and 210 ft lbs of tq on my stock b18b when I had it.. Yea tuning is the most important part of running any turbo set up.

 

so are the internals in the ls pretty dependable?

Well like stated aboive, you can run about 10psi safely. People use LS for boosting because of its low compression. But if you plan to run like 18psi on a stock motor, your asking for trouble.

 

with a stock ls, you can run about 300 horsepower. Thats pretty safe with a stock block b18b.

 

yes, they are dependable because of there low compression...and i would consider a compression check, if your not going to build your motor. You should be okay, for 10psi...but u really cant measure in psi...it also matters about your tuning, and what size turbo you get...a big *** turbo at 10psi is different from a little greddy turbo at 10psi.i would build first, then turbo, but thats me

 

whats a good turbo kit that wont hurt my wallet too much ?

 

greddy

 

if your not trying to go for much hp...greddy is a rather small turbo...but being small it spools fast.
