94 Ls 2 door 4 cylinder 1.8L stock B18 with

mods: CAI, Header, exhaust,

suspension: front and rear strut, front & rear lower tie
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
pretty basic so far. my goal is to build it to where i can run it as a d.d turbo running 10-15psi.
im 19 with a decent paying job so it cant be breaking the bank but im not about to buy some cheap shit and cut corners. i know about the lsvtec but i decided im not going that route. what should i work on replacing/installing next?

Maybe you should learn a bit more about your car, before you go into something you have no clue about. Just my 2 cents.

Running 15psi is too much for a stock engine. From what I hear 8-9psi is about the max you should run on a stock block. If you're planning on running more look into upgrading the rods and pistons, maybe upgraded sleeves.

Here is a link for you to read. It gives you a good run down of all the components.

Not trying to be mean but unless you have experience I wouldn't give advice. You HEARD a stock block can only take 8-9psi when in reality the amount of psi has nothing to do with if the stock block can handle it. 8-9psi out of a T25 isn't the same as 8-9psi out of a GT35R.

How about this; up to 300hp on stock internals? I'm not trying to spout off a bunch of information I don't know about, just saying what I've heard. Why don't YOU throw something useful in the thread? The link I gave him should give him plenty of reading and give him a good idea of what he needs.

No information is better than wrong information. But I agree with the 300whp limit. Makes alot more sense than saying x amount of boost will blow your floorboard seals.
