Default Critique my LS/Vtec turbo setup

im going to finish my LS/vtec on monday, and I just wnated to see what everyone thought about it or if I should add a few more parts. here goes...

B17 head
skunk 2 intake manifold
B18B1 block 700 miles on it
gsr tranny
arp head studs
b18 head gasket
gsr oil pump
gsr water pump
gsr timing belt
max-rev manifold, dp, and turbo
either going to run the fmu with 12:1 or putting in dsm's with a v-afc hack (which one do you think is better)
also have in line Bosch pump with gsr intank

Let me know what you think or if you think I should add anything. Thanks

Well first off, what cc injectors you gonna run, second of all , it does'nt look like you even TOUCHED the bottom end, EVEN though it has low miles, not to be an *** ....but to tell you the truth, your gonna be sorry if you think you can rev past 8 and keep the engine reliable...ESPECIALLY w/ a turbo....

I second the bottom end comment. You need some work there. At least some pistons. Great start though

I didn't really plan on revving that high I just want a little more power than my b16 turbo.

if I put in type r pistons with arp rod bolts along with a gsr girdle with this allow me to rev higher?

the crank girdle will allow more support for the crank not as much vibration. The main thing that snaps when revving the ls vtec is the bolts that hold the rods on arp bolts will help and the type r pistons are for compression if you have a turbo setup you want lower compression pistons. hope this helps.
