i dont know how many times I have to say this to people but DO NOT base your goals on psi. your best bet is to set a whp goal. LS all motor is a very rare setup. people see LS’s as none other than stock or boosted… I myself was going to boost but it has low mileage so a fresh bottom end with some pretty good headwork should set me into the 180whp range… for an LS thats mondo power lol… boosting an LS is fairly easy. Stock LS’s can handle up to 320whp. im not sure on the numbers to the crank but if you do go boost and if your in the jersey area Xenocron FTMFW!
blah, your long paragraphs mean nothing. show proof
there is a 600+ page thread showing the power potential of a bone stock turbo LS. the true fact is that the majority of B series N/A motors are going to top out at around 200whp and aren’t going much further than that without a good chunk of change which the average Honda owner does not have. just because some shop is pulling 240whp N/A out of a B series means nothing to the average guy. another true fact is that to reach the same power levels you will be spending double the money because you’ll have to open the motor up to get there. And even if you reach those same peak numbers, your powerband will be peaky and wont even get moving unless you’re reving to 8-9K.
So no…sorry but I’m not an idiot, I’m just not a bullshitter. There is no way you’re going to get a 1.8L to move as much air naturally aspirated as a turbo car I don’t care how high you rev it with magic VTEC. If you’re going to run N/A at the very least throw some nitrous on top of it so you can compete.
Anyway, if you went turbo and then back to N/A it isn’t because N/A is more pratical lol
im not going to sit here and have a pissing match with you about this, if you like turbos thats great, been there done that. i prefer a naturally aspirated cars they seem a tad more interesting because i feel its more rewarding in the end. anybody can strap a turbo and a fuel system on a car and make power.
anyway here is some insight for you on NA cars, countless dyno sheets with B, H, and K series engines. look at if you like, or ignore it.

the money you spend opening the engine up is usually less then one would spend on a good full race turbo kit.
c’mon, now. a turbo spools up, an engine revs up. same thing. Hondas are generally peaky. But look at the torque curve that a naturally aspirated H22 can make with SIMPLE head work*:
Do you understand that torque curve?

duh!!! NA hondas only make power real peaky and are slow! :roll:
and how much do you think that all cost kyle? like 30 bajillion dollars more than a turbo kit! ha and it probably only runs 14’s :gtfo:
lmfao that redline is 7500… torque is 150 at 2250rpm

seriously would probably cost as much as a GT35R Ball Bearing Turbo, a REAL NICE manifold, and a wastegate.
and no fuel pump, injectors, fuel pressure reg, tuning, engine management, exhaust, intercooler, piping, BOV, oil lines, PCV system, turbo timer, boost controller, and all the misc shit that goes with the setup.
but at least your powerband wont be peaky!!
oh wait, 35R’s dont make power till 6.5K on B-Series, guess your gunna be real Peaky on that LS.
whats in your resume? Have you ever had a boosted car? Have you ever had an N/A car with anything invested into it? I’m just trying to see where you stand, and what real life experiences you really do have…
damn, running your mouth that much then get owned and have nothing to say… wow talk about being a bitch.
i wasnt owning him. im just showing him some facts. and i’m curious if his info comes from the internet or experience?
damn! so much for not having a pissing contest, eh?
no i joke. good stuff guys good stuff
