hey there, i was building a NA motor but now deicided to go boost on my build setup is:

B18B motor
head cleaned
valves machined and buffed
new valve seals
buddy club cam gears
stock cams
ARP head studs
head milled 20thou
oil catch can, bungs welded into valve cover
ITR intake manifold machined to fit the LS head
FPR

block:
stock bore CP forged pistons 9:1 compression
eagle H beam rods
crank micropolished and balanced
new bearings, all new gaskets and seals

boost parts:
custom made top mount manifold
turbo - ??
wastegate - ??
BOV - ??
downpipe is 3'' custom made
motor will be professionaly tuned with chrome.

now mostly everything is done on the motor, picking up the pistons on friday and next monday dropping the block and pistons off for the block to get honed. then as soon as the eagle H-beam rods and some loose ends come in i'll be slapping the motor together. enough talk here's some pics:

the head:





valves:



block:



cleaned out all the sludge and **** from the oil pan:



cam gears:



ITR intake manifold machined to fit the LS head:





micropolished crank:



here's a couple of pics of the maifold that's being made for me right now, the builder has one on his CRX, he does great work and is making mine pretty much like this







i'll update this post as the build continues.

questions:

- where can i find a quality turbo (not ebay junk) for a good price? i'm looking for a T3/T4 with a budget of 300-400, possible? perhaps used?

- depending on tuning, is 250-300whp attainable? that's roughly my goal.

- will i max out stock injectors/fuel system for 250-300whp? (probably will but not sure)

- clutch recomondations?

thanks for the help and sorry for my long *** post

~~~~~~~~Update: sept 14th~~~~~~~~

got some pics from member weir who is making the manifold. it's looking great! also going to go pick up my forged pistons after work








~~~~~~~~~~Update sept. 15th

more progress with the manifold, like i said before, weir does amazing work! i also picked up my forged CP 9:1 pistons last night, i'll post pics of those as soon as i get my hands on a digital camera (yes i can boost my car, yet i'm too cheap to buy a digi cam ) i'm dropping off the block and pistons to the machine shop to have the block honed on monday. anyway, here's the progress on the manifold







~~~update sept 18th below~~~~~~~~~~

nice build sofar bro, im loving the manifold!

 

thanks!

 

gonna be a beast

 

So far so good! Keep us updated!

 

for sure, i'm aiming for 300whp give or take.

 

looks like a good build

did you paint the block with the high temp aluminum paint?

yea, when i stripped the block, i de-greased it and pressure washed it (outside ofcourse..haha) and then once all the gunk was off i sprayed a couple of coats of alunimum high heat paint on it. hopefully it'll stay.

 

man everything just looks so fresh lol. kinda dont want to fet it dirty lol. looks like its gonna be a nice build. love the headers

 

dont you mean "love the manifold".

 

Looks good yo, but not really feeling that intake manifold, looks sloopy to me!

 

^the intake manifold is all tig welded, grinded down so it does it's job, it looks alot better in real life.

Update sept 18th:

got my CP 9:1 compression forged pistons a couple days ago, sorry for the shitty web cam pics..haha. the block is going to the machine shop to get honed for the pistons:

 

Very nice build. I also run the b18b non vtec turbo. Nice turbo manifold.

 

go boost or go home huh?

 

niceeee
