Im in the process of building a LS-VTEC and i wanted to go force induction, Im using a b18c5 head and b18a1 block. My questions are what kind of pistons, rods, bearings, etc i should buy? should i get it re-sleeve? Need the best answer from the best!!

 

if you dont get what you are looking for try the forced induction section...

anyways...

how much boost??

street driven??

track only???

engine management???

 

JE and Crower combo's are the norm as well as 9:1 comp. pistons. Lower piston comp.=higher boost. B18 blocks could handle 7-8lbs of boost stock with no problems. Want more?? say 15-25 lbs?? Build the bottom end and sleeve the block. Since you have a Type R head, do some head work if you plan on running high boost. There's alot of things to factor in when building a turbo set up. It's all about how much $$$ you have and what HP #'s you're looking to make.

 

well, its for weekend driven car and probably for track use and street..

 

i would be happy to boost upto 8 pds. but of course in the long run im gonna want more later, so why not built it now right, anyways thanks for the info and i will get it re-sleeves upto 2.0.. thanks again bro!

 

we have couple ls bottom ends if you are intersted that we can build for you darton sleeves to 84mm with endyn/Wiseco/JE pistons /eagle or crower rods depding on how much boost you want.. and new bearings oil pump water pump gasket set.. just let us know..

I would build it using sleeve from one of hte major companies with je/crower or je eagle setup or maybe endyn /eagle with new parts oil pump water pump all vtec models 22t water pump not the 19t as well as new factory honda bearings..

We are putting toget one as we speak great setup also we can machine the gsr girldl on the ls so you are set

 

Would i need new bearings also? can i just use the one from the 2001 ITR? by the way how much for the whole nine?

 

of course you need new bearings you never want to reuse old bearings in any motor..

Bearings are key to prolong engine life. the whole nine yards is 2400 complete
we have one ready to go today if you are interested.
