What Engine set up to go with in my Teggy?

[steve-o_585]

I have a stock LS with a b18b. Ive seen LS VTEC, GSR head and LS block, or just a full GSR engine. How much does it cost to get a bottom block milled & a head? I dont know what i want to do, of course i want to build it but idk if its worth turning my stock LS with VTEC or just a GSR head. SUGGESTIONS! Cheapest way to do it my self. Please & thanks.

lsvtec has more torque than a gsr, so i like lsvtec better. if you already have an ls itll be cheaper to do lsvtec, a bit complicated but not impossible. the timing will probably be the most difficult part.

So about milling it, how much wuld u think that would be? & of course i would have to install VTEC cams (Maybe stage 2 skunk2), pistons (suggestions?), valves, valve springs. I still dont get how to convert it into a vtec, i seen some guy post a thread, & is this a do it yourself project? Sorry for all of the questions, lol. Just got my Teg like 2 months ago for my first car & im too excited.

about milling idk. for the lsvtec u need to get new head bolts the vtec head, and pick which one, adjustable cam gears lsvtec oil line kit head gasket and youll have to plug up the old dowel pin hole. theres this real good write up about that explains everything in detail

this is for a realible lsvtec or b20vtec. some people skip a few things, but they dont have a motr that is as relible. some homie go blow there lsvtec motors all the time because they just slap on the head and rev it real high, other homies have had theres for years

Ok, kool. Ima have to read this a few times, make it a few hundred times before I even try to touch my engine, thanks. But u think i should just keep my full b18b1 or swap a b18c1 head onto the block?

You have to swap eithe a b16 head, or a gsr head onto your ls block to have lsvtec

i would like to do this to in the future but i wanna save up for body work first

 

[steve-o_585]

Oh ok, so GSR head it is! Wat internal upgrades would i need to install a turbo?

 

[Samurai_Blue]

you can turbo on stock internals. if i were you i would only build the bottom end and maybe some turbo cams but thats it.

 

[steve-o_585]

Wait, i can turbo a stock engine? Maybe i can but it can blow quickly.

 

[Samurai_Blue]

not with a healthy motor and a proper tune... you can turbo it on 8-10 psi on a t3.

 

[steve-o_585]

Ok, & if i want a turbo set up, wat do u recommend wat set up i shuld get & wat internals?

Too many questions, search is your friend =)

I know a buddy at the shop I go to that daily drive his LS on 20psi @ ~300whp not exact on the number but I know its over 300
