Please help me out guys. I know EVERYONE and there mother has heard about Ls/Vtec turbo. But im trying to get out the box. I have a DC2 LS here my specs
performance
Ls block
Wesco 11.8 comp pistons
Golden Eagle rods
Type- R alternator light wieght pulley
No AC
No power steering

Head 98 Gsr
Type - R cams
Type - R springs + retainers
Golden eagle cam gears

Bolt-ons
Aem V-2 cold air intake
Skunk 2 intake manifold
Aem fuel rail
Aem fuel filter + regulator
RC 310 intejectors
DC sports 4-2-1 headers
walboro fuel pump

Now that u know wats inside here is that question I have been reading lots of NOS company's sites and not that they recremend it but they say that it is possible to run NOS with High comp. Will this be a good idea for me to get about a 75shot sysetem from Zex. They have a Tps system which eganes the N.O.2 when in wide open throttle. And should i get a thicker head gasket maybe a 1.7 from cometic to lower compression. Im thinking of getting it and taking it to the dyno to pull bk cam -2 degree. Would this be good option or shuould i just stay as is and get my car tuned with out the NOS and get the cams advanced.

first of all. the term dc2 meaning a gsr. if you have a ls is mean dc4. please noe the term before using it.

with you motor being built like that and only 75 shots no biggie

 

is your car tuned? what system/chip? what is your injectors/fpr set at?
i would start with 50shot, from what ive read, ZEX is the best and safest set up, i considered it before i went turbo

Agreed, 75 isn't bad at all.

 

Well it was a LS, Then full swap gsr with 94 gsr rims and od1 cpu. As of right now its not tuned. I have a P28 sitting around in the garage planing to get the honda data s300. I will definately not just buy the system before tuning. And do u suggest getting the thicker headgasket or will i be fine with my compression

then what happen to the gsr? im thinking you trade the gsr swap for ls v swap? well i dont really care. is still a dc4 body. um best way is go get it tune and ask the mechanic or your shop for best advice. cant really tell you on how many shot becuase you didnt really tell us how the car run, lean etc, stuff needs. only shop or yoru mechanic can look at the motor and can tell if 75 shots is good. but imo ppl who run stock motor run 75 shots before. aint that bad. since yours is built im thiniking you can go up to 100 or so

 

YESSSSS! its still a dc4 happy now . lol j/k but ls motor blew didnt want to go for ls/vtec, got a full gsr and swaped it from non vtec to vtec. From wat i read a stock motor can handle 20hp per cyclinder so 80shot for stock motors but wat im scared of is the pressure that the NOS makes. Would like some feed bk from ppl that used NOS. And have set ups similar I'm sure im not the only that would try this

if your compression and everything is runnign right. 75 is nothing.. ppl squeeze 75 on stock motor before. but if you want something and forsure answer i would say bring it to the shop and get a compression and tune your car before doing so. imo

 

Cool just need some money to get the NOS plus honda data. But im tryin to get some comptech race headers first. Sigh money, money, money! will definatle get some read outs on honda data when i everything in and pass the info.

 

you mean hondata programming? if so is hondata why you want s300? with your mod s200 is good enough already. also you will need to tune/dyno it will helps. and comptech header is expensive i would say get type r 4 in 1 header be good setup.

 

There r so many things u can do with s300 u can do so much. Plus lots of read outs like quarter mile times. The reason i like the comptech, mugen, or toda race headers cause of the size most B-series headers stop right at oil pan. The comptech and mugen go pass the oil pan cutting of the catilitic converter for more power. Sigh my friend have some comptech and my dc sports look like tooth picks compared

 

do whateva bro is your money.

 

lol its not much a difference isnt it? The shop around my way does the Chiping there selves its about $725 if u bring ur own computer.

 

hell yes 75shot (dry?=safer than wet)with your fuel setup = no problems

 

I think the set up im going for the wet system from what read. I will need to make sure of 3 things.
1. high octane gas 100+ (to make sur no detonation)
2. pull timing on igtion and cams (no detonation)
3. Air/fuel ratio tuned ( no detonation)

 

Got another question. Which type of cams can i run with them stage 1, 2?

stage 2 what? dude...find out the specs of the cam and dont refer to a cam with a blanket statement like "stage2"...and for the love of god...stop calling it NOS...nos is a brand...nitrous is the power adder

 

ok skunk2 stage 2 cams non pro. And stop being a ***. You know what i meant. n2o are u happy now?.... And for people that need detialed explanation for everything.(i.e. being a moron) I want to know if its ideal to run any type of aftermarket cams with my set-up. How can i have specs if i dont know which ones or if i will put after markets cams anyway. Should i just stay with my stock gsr cams. Or does it just come to a good tuning conserning the aftermarket cams+ n2o?

no im not being a moron...you asked which stage cam you can run..how can someone tell you that without knowing the specs on the said "stage cams"

does stage 1 have a preset duration and lift independent of the make of cam??? IE Stage 2 Skunk is Stage 2 Toda or BC???

and for a FI/High NA application you want high lift long duration cams but not to the point where overlap becomes an issue when youre trying to tune it out, FI likes shorter duration higher lift...remember that

thank you very much.

 

make sure you get your motor tuned....

id spend the money on quality engine management and a good tune before you go buy some "race headers"

 

I like your setup, similar to mine, if you dont mind me asking, what kinda numbers are you putting down?

 

sounds like a fun ride. better headers would be good. and maybe ITB's. just an idea.

 

First off, you are driving a 4 cylinder engine, therefore you have A header not headers. Sorry but that bugs me.

For all motor set ups (not NA everything) tuning is the key. You always want your **** running right before you start throwing nitrous, turbo, supercharger, or ITB's on there.
