Hey guys i am doing my first turbo build and i am just looking for some last pointers and stuff. I am putting this build in my DD civic and i am aiming for 300 at the wheels. I just want a nice build for DD. I have done alot of research and thinking about my parts and setup. anyways heres my build....

GSR block (bored .020 over stock)
LS crank, rods, pistons (held together by ARP rod bolts and rods were re-rounded)
B16 head w/ mild port and GSR cams
AEM hi-Flow fuel rail
Micro polished crank
ARP head studs
ACT streetlite flywheel
OBX LSD

Garrett t3/t4 turbo .60 trim
HKS SSQV BOV
Mini Ram manifold
1000cc injectors
and the works for the rest of the kit....

I plan on running 8-10 psi daily. (whichever gets me to my goal of 300whp) I know this is very vague but just a rough look at my setup and goals. any questions ask away and any POSITIVE input is welcome. DONT HATE.
thanks

 

only thing i see that is iffy is the OBX LSD... iv'e heard good and VERY bad things from them... most ppl that say good have NA low power motors and ppl who say bad to very bad have power to more power. i say just get a typer tranny lsd or a quaiffe (however you spell it)

 

naaaw im not looking to spend 1200 on a tranny. i have a 00si tranny (same gears except final drive) so its fine there. I have a buddy who races a single w/ 472 to the wheels on on slicks on OBX LSD and never had a problem. im not worried about that part really. 400 is way cheaper then 1200.

 

I agree, the Quaife LSD is the best u could get, specially making that much power and using it as a daily driver man.. Plus u forgot to set up the Fuel Pump man, ur gonna need 1... Walbro 255 gets the job done right. Other than that u look good, just hope ur not counting on an LS tranny cuz 3rd gear on those trannys go bad like nothing

yea man i did forget to put the fuelpump on there... i actually already have it. lol. but like i said before i feel safe with the OBX and i dont have the 1200 for and ITR LSD tranny. I will be using a 00 si tranny though.. same as the ITR except the final drive.

 

i got my 98 spec type r for 1300... and its way shorter gears than si...

well you can go obx... some ppl have told me it works great but others have had horror stories. JUST MAKE SURE YOU CHECK IT AND DISASSEMBLE IT AND REASSEMBLE IT RIGHT. a friend got one and it was assembled wrong... the rings were upside down on it...............

the gears shouldnt be shorter.. just final drive. im sure the ITR making more power gives it that feel. I will be having a professional transmission rebuilder doing the LSD for me. He rebuilt my buddies ITR LSD tranny with all new bearing and gears and its flawless.

 

buuumpin it up

 

Well good luck with your build, and enjoy the boost cause there's nothing else like it!

i wouldnt get on here and just BS with ya.

 

the obx lsd actually works good in a lot of setups but the one thing ive heard is that u need to take it apart and clean it and put it back together and itll be the *****. if you dont ive seen it **** the bed and not be good... just letting you know

 

Don't forget to budget for proper tuning - I wouldn't grab a chip off the shelf for something like that and hope it was "close enough" to your combination.
