ok i know there a probably alot of these but here's my issue i traded my 03 mustang mach (had more problems then any car ive ever owned) well i ended up with 93 ls vtec hatch its sporting a b18c5 head with a freshish b18b bottom end with about 20k on it and my question is should i worry about it i thought about getting a gsr block and building it or can i make safe power on the setup and is it boost friendly? i would like to go turbo dont really care about the ls part or the vtec it was just a nice all around car so any help would be nice and to answer any questions this is not my first honda im just back from the dark side i used to have a 91 turbo b18a crx si and a 93 civic sedan stock then i came across good money and sold both of the cars and got my mustang never should have done that but o well after 3 years im back and those are my questions any help would be sick.

 

You need to find out internally what's done, I have a lsv rite now with a built head which is plenty of power for me rite now. As far as boost goes it can be done yes, but reliability of lsv in general isnt all that high unless u know for sure it was properly built, so boosting over 8psi probably won't be in your favor. Just my opinion

 

8PSI doesn't mean jack.

 

stock block will safely hold up to 10psi all day

 

10PSI doesn't mean jack.

 

all these new people are making me punch my computer monitor


SEARCH BUTTON!

 

wantboost i have i have also gotten alot of conflicting answers im looking for someone who has a similar setup to talk to about it not a douche

 

i was thinking only 8 psi and jw what kinda head and how built are we talking and is the stock type r cams good for turbo or no

 

Dude not trying to be a dick but u really should do some research for a good couple of weeks, people dont just jump into boost its important to use the search button, my advice would be to actually find out whats done to your engine, do a compression test ( u can buy a cheap autozone compression tester and get the job done). Type r cams are great with a boosted application. And all this non-sense about i would not go over 8 psi blah blah , is very much so irrelevant when no one knows what turbo you will be running. Again not trying to be an *** but its 2012 there is so much information available on this site man its unbelievable. Go read for a few weeks and gain knowledge , then come back and talk shop pimp. my .02

 

^Exactly

 

8PSI don't mean jack.

 

i have a lsv 96ls and 95 gsr head that was turboed at one point. standard ebay turbo, 50 a/r compressor side, 63 hot side thats all i know about the turbo. 220whp @ 8psi nonv with vtec head, 266whp @ 8psi 8700rpm with vtec

motor completely stock other than 2nd gen b16 cams, itr intake mani

 

8psi don't mean jack, lol

 

I don't mean to be a dick but we get so many threads like this... Unless we know exactly what kind of motor work is done etc we really can't help you. Plus doing your own research will ultimately help you in the long run because you ultimately learn more than what you initially set out to find

hey wantboost its cool just ive read so many different things like ive stated and i keep here about how the r-s ratio is to low for vtec let alone boost with vtec and the head is stock b18c5 with a oem rebuilt b18b block with 19k on the block and he said about 50 or 60k on the head

 

god. this R/S ratio mess again..

 

I was about to comment on that... But it's kind of like beating a decayed corpse.

Rod stroke ratio only matters with respect to maximum piston speed and the rev limit of the motor... You can turbocharge anything with a motor...

 

yes again i just want to know if bs or not basically im gonna order some adjustable cam gears and a cheaper turbo mani i got the turbo which is just a basic cheap t3 t4 with .50 cold side and a .63 hotside i believe not to sure about year since i unbagged it and since i already have a aem fuel rail im just gonna get some 310cc i hear for low boost those and a 255 fuel pump with do for fuel mods and im just unsure because of it my tune right now is slightly rich with a rev limiter set at 7400 and vtec is set to engage at 5200 rpm but i shift out at about 72xx rpm so i just wanna know is it gonna besafe or should i just stay all motor
