Default LS Vtec Turbo help.....

Ok, just curious.. I am helping my friend build his Ls Vtec Turbo over the next few months and am wanting to know a few ?'s..

I'm able to do the LS Vtec, but i'm not familiar with turbo setups too much.

Just wanting to know what spark plugs to run in it, as in Hotter or what with it..

ANY help on the turbo setups will be greatly appreciated on this.. As I stated already, I can do the Ls Vtec swap, and I tried to talk him into stopping there lol but he doesn't want to. So please any help i'll take in ...

no not yet, but some guy told me I needed more decent pics.. I was like what does that mean lol.. I am hoping to get the hoses and such from my friend that is doing this build so if i do i'll put them on and i'll see if he'll let me borrow his starter till i get one.. cause he's wanting racing hoses for his and he won't need his starter for awhile so ya know lol.. then i'll just have to get some spark plugs, plug wires, dizzy cap, oil change I can't wait lol..

i'll do it in the same hatch.. i'm gonna find a Del Sol shell and put an H23a Vtec in it .. i'll build it in about 1yr and a half.. the B series build should be after income taxes or so.. if i get what i did this year on them next year..

true, i'll see if i can find you a tranny for around $250.. i'll see what i can do.. if i do though it'll probably be an LS but it's better than nothing.. we'll see what I can find though.. If you don't sale that z6 swap then next time I go to Gwinette.. probably next weekend.. i'll see if someone will trade a tranny to you for your swap.. i know someone down there has one... But i'm gonna go to bed... gonna mess with my car tomorrow and take some better pics of it.. ..
