i have a 93 hatch with a ls in it. going turbo route and need help with camshafts. does anyone have a preference or recommendation on a good set of shafts for turbo apps.... thanks guys

 

go ask the guys in the integra forum since they're b-crazy. I personally would recommend going LS/VTEC for 1, you have a wider selection of cams and 2, you'd be able to tune it for better power throughout the entire band since you have that extra lift when you need it.

 

crower 402-t
higher lift than the 404's proper duration

 

how reliable are ls/vtec engines tho??? ive heard great things from and also bad things about reliability ???

Its the same thing as doing a head gasket job. You do it right, it'll last just as long as a stock gsr. You do it wrong, it'll leak etc blah blah. People have heard bad things mainly becaues idiot high school kids heard about LS/VTEC and began trying to do it themselves without following the necesarry steps.

"WOW LS/VTEC how do you do it"

"just swap the head man its hella easy"


Kid swaps head over and does a 1/2 *** job on timing and wires VTEC up without taping or soldering the connectiongs.... engine leaks at head gasket losing compression...kid doesn't know you're only able to use a head gasket once....it leaks after he tightens it again....then we have crappy LS/VTEC stories.

 

what r his hp figures, do you know? so i take it hes happy with his camshafts

every motor is only as reliable as the builder and tuner.

lsvtecs are very reliable if built right

last time it was dyno'd last summer, it was a little shy of 280whp with a stock bottom end and just a chipped ecu.

 

what was his setup??? because i want 350-375 on street tune ....possible

 

are you a d-series guy???

 

You know thats WAY too much power for the street, right...?
You wont even have traction.....

 

yeah it's possible he could get up to 350 hp if he just went and got a real tune and not just a chipped ecu plus hes only pushing 8psi. and i used to be a d series man until i bought my h22.

 

thats not to much power at all . i have hondata s300, sitting at my house and its going to be tuned at some awesome tuning shop in alabama but i havent finished the build tho . if you dont mind me asking why go h-series and how much did you spend on that swap and parts???

 

driveshaft axles and good tires should help..

 

yeah it is
on a front wheel drive vehicle there is a definite power limit and certainly &lt;350
You would need to stage boost in the early gears to do anything with that, even then you would need some really good tires
but whatever...

 

hahaha i wanted something unique and always wanted a h22 so i thought why not just buy an h2b kit too. i spent roughly around 4800 and is susposed to hit mid 13's. i havent ran it yet though.

 

then what is a good range to be at as far as power for street use goes

If you have a civic with 200-250 whp you'll be fast enough to kill yourself.

 

sounds far enough. im in the same boat, my first build was a n/a d-series . it was quick it took out gsr and b16s but definite limits on n/a d-series. like top end , so i sold it and now working on this . thats cool tho whats it in

 

where do you live at in atlanta

H22 long block 1200
CTR Tranny 1100
QSD h2b kit 750
Hasport mounts 400
Hasport shift linkage 150
Hasport axels 350
i also got an exedy clutch, fidanza flywheel, chipped p28 and a bunch of stupid **** that comes along with a swap like spark plugs, wires, new o2, oil, ect.

 

ctr tranny ????? on a h22... im confused

 

hahaha. its because im using an H2B kit.
