Default Ls/vtec Turbo

What size turbo are you running on your Ls/vtec's? I am building my own currently and need a new turbo. Last race season i pulled some low 13's in the 1/4 mile with an LS turbo (tdo4 13G?) whatever turbo comes with the SOHC Greddy kit. I don't want something that spolls super quick, but has to make decent power. And I also plan on putting it onto a B20/Vtec later on. Any help or suggestions would be great. Thanks everyone.

Why you going to go from ls/vtec to b20/vtec. Just bore your ls block out. Go with a Sc series, anyone would do the job.

Just use a b18, b20 cylinders are too weak, do a search on b20.

That's all in the tuning. You can run 20psi on stock sleeves and make over 450whp. And that's been proven countless times.

waa..waa...b20 sleeves are not "thin as hell", they are not that much different in size from a b16a block or b18 block...3mm...if you go by bore size, if you actually measure it, which i will do tonight i have a b20 block/ls block and b16a block all sitting around, i will measure to get the difference

i havent had a problem with my sleeves..and i'm going on 12k miles


edit: get you <FONT COLOR="red">sc61</FONT> and you will be happy
