LS/VTEC turbo street car question

leroy12 · 08-20-2009, 01:39 AM

Sup guys, first off i know somewhere on the net or this site this question has been asked. However im asking because im looking for input and advice strictly for me.

Ok, my motor is a ls/vtec

im running a garret .60 trim turbo (journal bearing)
450cc injectors
tial wg
ebay BOV
Ebay fmic and piping.
Ramhorn exhaust manifold
running open downpipe
ARP HEAD STUDS
ARP ROD BOLTS
ALL new bearings

I just ordered and recieved eagle rods
and wiseco low comp pistons (81mm)

MY GOAL IS 350-400 WHP

i plan to have my car tuned by CENTRAL FLORIDA TURBO

In all honesty is my goal realistic and does it sound reliable?

What head are you running? What cams,valvetrain,etc etc we need full list of mods.. Plus it depends on tuner etc. What size is intercooler and what kind of clamps are you using for couplers? There is sooo much to factor into this being RELIABLE... Im sure it can make the power but i would def junk that ebay shit.

About 2 years ago me and my brother built a B18a with an ls hydro trans in his eg the bottom end was built but the head was stock we used eagle rods and 81mm cp 9:1 pistons we made 370 hp with 232tq of torque at 21lbs using an ebay kit with 440 rc we tuned with jerry at API in yonkers we had to bump it down due to running to lean we had to settle with 280hp and 186tq not bad for an ls
