Trae%eh6 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 what would you recomend on mods would a turbo charger be the best way to go or would thier be internal things i should do well it sounds like a good deal but how is the body and is there any rust and does it need body work. ok now with my mods you can go a few different ways you can go ls/vtec which is were you get a b18c1/gsr head and then you hvae lsvtec. or you can go with boost. but you ask if you have to do internal yes if you want to run a good amount of boost if not then i dont really see a point in doing it. but ask brianeg2 more about it bc im not that strong on telling you what all you need to do when it comes to boosting a car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrIaN EG2 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 LS hp stock is 142hp & 127lbs-ft and an LS is great for low boost stock, if you want to push high boost to be safe i would go ahead and rip it apart and get new pistons, connecting rods, a cometic head gasket, and some APR head studs then you could push an easy 15psi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trae%eh6 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 well im not sure about what the hp rating is if its a lsvtec but if its only 1500 and its lsvtec then yea i would buy it the motor alone is worth that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrIaN EG2 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 you would only need to resleeve it if you planned on pushing 20+psi b series engines can handle well up to 500hp with just low compression pistons.. but to be safe and for daily use i would get what i had said above..

BrIaN EG2 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 i agree with jesse about the p28 but if you have the extra money get the hondata s300 oh and with a p28 youll have to get remapped, chipped, and tuned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 ask him how he did the ls vtec conversion. did he rebalance the crank? does he have arp rod bolts and arp head studs? did he use a golden eagle conversion kit? is it tapped for vtec? if you go boost get a set of aftermarket compression pistons and new rods. youll also need to get it tuned, new clutch, and what tranny did he have?
