what pistons/cr for ls-turbo

I’ll be putting a turbo (at about 10-12 psi) on my b18a1 in the near future, and my plans are to get a chipped ecu and use turboedit for tuning, replace my pistons, rods, rings, and fuel injectors, get a fpr and fuel pressure gauge, and to “block post” my block as seen at: http://www.homemadeturbo.com/tech_projects/block_posting/ . I’ve been wondering if I should go ahead and buy the arp head studs or not… i don’t know how much of a difference it’ll make. Also, what compression ratio should I go with/ what size pistons should I get? Will the parts/operations listed above be good enough to withstand 10-12 psi, and if so how much higher will i be able to go?

bumpedy bump :bump:

SEARCH button works here covered too many times in this forum and all other honda FI forums.

u must have read what the guys in homemade turbo r running at there probably the same here … eagle rods, je pistons, 9.0 : 1 sound familiar

cp pistons, crower rods.

10 psi out of a t25 or 10 psi out of a gt35r

never told us what u want to run and how u want to drive the car.

ur question is to vague

Haberdashers guide to turbo a g2 is the first place i would read to get all the info u need.

sorry to be harsh but i used the search button first and read and read before a posted a ? here

yes headstuds.

c/r anywhere from 8.8-9.5. this can depend on the piston company, your bore size, if your head was milled/block decked. stuff like that. eagle rods are fine. i just saw a setup that was making like 800whp on eagles. the only bad thing ive heard is they loose their shape on the crank end at high rpms, but an ls turbo wont see that.

you can run more that that, turbo size and fuel management dependant. i was running 12 psi on my stock ls. if you build it, shoot for 300whp, or about 15-18 psi

i personally like wisecos, that what im putting in my built b18, and im shooting for somewhere between 400-450

thanks a lot, man. that’s seriously going to help me out when it comes time to build my block and start preparing for a turbo. i hate assholes that get on here “lik3 0h mY g0D us3 th3 S3aRch 8utton” when you can explain your own opinion a lot better when you just TAKE THE 2 SECONDS TO TYPE IT OUT. but yeah thanks man thatll come in handy.

took more than 2sec to type use search button

You’re missing the point, cockflop.

no were using name calling thats real big cant u tell sarcasm when u see it
didnt i just post what brand of piston and rods u can use and what cr

jeez everyone here is needs to relax a lil

je pistons/manley full race rods, just my personal pref
