Well im just finishing up my all motor build and Im sad to say I am not satisfied at all
Even though the car is putting down close to 190whp I feel like a turtle lol. So the other day I drove my brothers EVO with 450WHP @ 22 PSI and I decided that I need to go boost!

What I have for my boost set up so far:
B18C Type R Block 84mm Bore w/ Darton sleeves
B16A Head w/ Skunk2 Valve Springs and Retainers

Heres what im getting:

Now here are some questions:

1. How difficult is it to properly fit the LS Crank in a B18C-R Block?
2. For 500+ WHP which tranny do you think is more benificial, LS or GSR?
3. Since the block is 84mm and I'll be purchasing new pistons I should rehone it to 84.5mm so I can have proper piston to wall clearence correct?
4. What LSD do you guys reccomend for a high horse power set up like that?
5. Am I crazy for just finishing my all motor set up and wanting to get rid of it?

 

if your gonna buy valves why not get aftermarket like ferrera, supertech, or buddyclub.

to get the ls crank in you need to bend or plug the oil squirters and use ls rods.

nice build, any pics so far?

 

I'll post some up when I get home tonight. The blocks sexy

 

1. LS Crank will fit fine, but you'll need LS rods
2. GSR tranny is the better choice of the two...use the LS final drive if anything
3. Have the Machine shop check the current bore...dont overbore unless you have to. Also, go with CP pistons
4. Quaife LSD is the ONLY one for your power goals...it is spendy though
5. All motor is a waste of money...its good that you figured that out sooner rather than later

 

The one and only suggestion I'll give you - pace yourself, and set a realistic budget. Your profile shows you as an 18 yr old, and thats $8,000+ in parts, not including what you already have. I'm not trying to be an ***, but realistic - half that much put into an Evo will still be faster, depending on what its used for.

What do you want - a fast street car, or an all-out drag car? It you have no intrest in college, a huge disposable income, and want a drag car, by all means go for it. Otherwise, you're not spending wisely.

 

use the stock girdle dont get aftermarket.

like others have said dont use the ITR valves def go aftermarket.

 

sounds like a good build

aftermarket valve train is a must imo

GSR tranny for sure. I have a built LS right now and Im going back to a GSR
