Boost the stock motor!


Go to boneyard buy anothor Ls and build that.

Save ur money and search more

200hp is safe on a stock block with a good tune.

I'm boosting my LS/Vtec on 12lbs, on a stock rebuild. I would wait until you can get both rods and pistons. Besides, if I remember correctly, there will be an issue with the wrist pins working in forged pistons and stock rods.

thanks thats what i was wanting to hear and new it was the right thing just needed to hear from someone else hahaha we all have moments like that i think


and what good would searching do it was an advice thread i search when i need to know info on sometihng or how to this was a opinion question

Re: need advice
 

Do some searching about the capabilities of the b18b/a motors. They can handle more power than you're aiming for in stock form with a good tune.



Do some more reading about turbo sizes/specs. Saying I want to run 12 lbs on a t3 is VERY vague...

Yep LS bottom ends are uber strong. Stock motor with lots of boost and ull have fun, and if it breaks ---- it go buy another for $100
