with new valves springs and retainers skunk2

I have a friend who's valve guides failed after boosting...

 

bump

 

there good for alot of boost, its the rpm that makes the diff. the flow sucks btw.

 

thats what Im hearing. any solution???

 

yes vtec head

 

lol Im to far deep to go vtec

I mean does it flow well enough to not have to worry about taking a **** on me after a while on boost?

 

yeah it will work well. just wont flow as smooth as a vtec head gl

 

how about getting some head work done? to possible flow as well as vtec head?

 

yes and add cams, but your still missing vtec. you can port all you want but still missing vtec.

i ran a b18b head before, i had a lot of fun with it. just depends on your power goal.

 

how far would you advise to rev the b18b head with valve sprigs/retainers ? and lets say the powerband is real peaky.

 

well I have a po6 ecu w hondatas300 on the way. how much will I have to change my setup to run a vtec head?

 

also when you say it doesnt flow well.. what is taken away? potential HP? what are the cons of the head v.s. vtec head

 

yes hp....pro and cons, search that. its tons of info on it

after market? im sure you can go 9,9.5 whatever the motor and the set up likes.

 

reason i ask is because the LS head isnt made for high revving and the components in it arnt as steardy as in the vtec heads.
what is the highest anyone took the LS head with after market valve springs/retains(BC) without any long term failures.

sorry if this is going away from the op's question.

 

i had a friend took his Ls head "JG" built to 9k i believe. it may have been 9.2 i really dont remember

 

well along with this...... a b18b head with skunk2 dual springs and retainers and eventually aftermarket valves of some kind I do not have yet what kind of rpm will she wind up to then??? b18B

i think you answered your ?

just keep what you have and enjoy or sell it all and get a vtec head

 

yea I wrote that b4 I got ahold of u man

 

Well if the [freak]er is a dd just run it at around 10 max for boost.If its not a dd then dont do Ls.idc how built it is or will be its an ls and if its any type of dd you shouldnt be worrying about alot of boost.

 

dd about 9psi but...
I want to build this thing to handle high psi on the fly if I wanted to have a motor built good for a **** load of boost

and my goal hp is 3-350
but when ran daily only about 8-9 psi

wtf? I don't think you know what you are talking about. Im sure your going to quote me but you sound really dumb sorry.

being a D.D. has nothing to do with the amount of boost you can run.

build what you got and have fun you'll make your goal as long as your turbo set up is efficient

 

Hey stupid [freak] its called smart. Anyone who drives a dd pushing high boost is a [freak]ing mornon including yourself.If its a weekend car or w\e then push what you want.If you want your car to last with a turbo setup and its driven daily then i wouldnt go at high boost levels.I have heard STock Ls motors run as high as 15 pounds anything more didnt last very long at all.
