Help with build please
 

I am going to start buying stuff to build my 95' LS swap for boost. What are some good choices for piston and rods. This will be my first build. Going for something mild. Don't want to have to ampitate my arms to buy anything. If you have any suggestions for a light turbo build, please PM me. Thanks for the help!

wiseco pistons and eagle rods.......i dont think you will find a much cheaper combo that offers the quality and reliability you will need.

Can you recomend a site or person to buy from. and would it be good to bore out my block any?

Re: Help with build please (evil civic)
 

it would be a good idea to bore to the next size up in pistons; since the stock bore if most likely a lil egg shaped and your going to have to step up to get a nice Piston to wall clearance.

so far im taking in that i need to go maybe a .020 overbore with wesico pistons and eagle rods. any tips on head work i need to get done. was planning on turbo cams, port and polish, maybe a 3 angle valve job. I don't know if that set up would work together. any advice is welcome. thx so far

well, first you need to figure out power goals and what kind of turbo you want to use.
after you know how much power you want to make, they you match the parts

I was thinking between 250-300 whp. I want it to run maybe 225 whp around town. Maybe im not being realistic with these goals. I just want a quick street car that will last. I don't plan on running very high psi. I say that now but i'll get trigger happy and boost the hell out of it.

i acutally recommend you give Jeff and importbuilders.com a shout. he's always been good to me and can give you a good package deal if you buy from him.

he's a good guy and knows his stuff.

I've never heard of them. Do they have respectable parts?
