im about to buy standard type s pistons with eagle rods and the entire skunk 2 valve train up grade witha a stage one camshaft. what turbo kit can i get for around 2gs, and is anyone running about 8lbs of boost on 11:0 compression or high.

5th gen ludew/
aem intake
apexi world sport c/back
dc ceramic header
skunk 2 cam gears

 

Your bolt ons would really complement those cams and pistons, but I don't reccomend boosting with 11:1 cr, even though it's been done and all, but if you are going turbo, get turbo pistons because they hold more air and it will keep your motor alot safer from detonation. You can build your own turbo kit for under $2,000 and it will end up adding more power than a $3,000 shelf kit. Just do your research.

 

There are a few kits on ebay for under 1000 , dont know of the quailty though.

Quality? Shiet.

If i were you i would get the stuff you mentioned for the head and leave the block alone. Then throw in a Greddy Turbo kit.

Stay away from cheap ebay kits. A turbo set-up done right will cost you a hell of alot more than $2000. What are your HP goals? You need to hit the faqs.

 

a good kit for 8 PSI costing a hell of a lot more than $2000 ???? you need to learn to bargan hunt my friend.......

what can the boneyard boost max out at? i think i have seen 9 PSI......

 

not to mention that you would not want that cam for turbo and the intake and header would be cancelled with the t kit. unless you mean thats what you already have

I said a turbo kit done right. I gave him the Greddy kit, which in over time he will need to rebuild anyways. You can make 250whp from 8psi with one kit and make 350whp at 8psi with another, its all in the turbo size and engine management. Thats whay i asked him what kind of power he is looking to make. He wont see more than 300whp with the Greddy Kit unless you upgrade some of the parts it brings, which will bump up the price more.

If he wants to just throw in ebay parts he can have a kit for $2000. If he comes back and says he wants 600whp, i want to see a kit for $2000 that can do that.

 

It would pointless and stupid to boost on such high compression. Its pushing it with stock usdm h22s at 10:1 and JDM h22 at 10:6:1. If your going to go ahead and build the motor run around 9:1 and then u could run 15psi all day with a good tune and make lots of solid power.

 

I'm assuming the block would be sleeved to allow those 9:1 pistons and 15 psi. There's another $1,000 for sleeving. But that's the best thing for your block before boosting. It costs to tune too.

 

 

11:1 comp + Boost = FTMF Explosion!

thats not 100% true. But i wouldnt recommend it for the everyday person who is looking to make some power.

 

I wouldn't recommend 11:1 compression and boost on an h22 ever. They are already known for ******* up with lower compression on boost. I will say however alot of that is due to the tune and the driver.

 

thanks folks. im not a complete noob, i just didn't know if anyone was running that high of comp with boost. My hp goals aren't to 600 or nothing like that i'll be satisfied with around 300 and some change. and i know it dangerous to turbo high compress, but i've seen it done on s2000's and they run about the same comp as the type s set up. i understand that that motor is a differn't set up but just an overall question if anyone was running any boost on type s pistons. Well i ordered them anyway get them on tues with the eagle rods. instalation doesn't begin untill jan still accumulating all my parts. i'll keep you guys posted on what i end up doing and how everything goes thanks for the head up!!!!!!!!!

 

do it and see what happens.

i want to see what happens.

 

Remember that article in Honda Tuning where they supercharged an ITR? It made good power and those have 11:1cr, although, I think things go alot differently when you turbo the car. I bet the ITR would have made more power with 9:1 pistons though, right?

 

Just make sure you go with a GOOD management system, dont skip on the tuning.

 

yeah im plannin on getting the aem ems. and im not trying to boost like crazy. i would be happy with a jackson but cost to damn much. my lude has 104k so i wanted to rebuild it and freshin up the motor. i got lucky so i don't have to pay for labor all i have to do is buy the parts.

 

Kits Piece it together brotha, it will save you money
