  • LS Turbo Build

    Hey what's good ctv../ I have a ls that I'm going to end up rebuilding it if I dont end up selling... I'm looking for about 250 whp... Here's what I'm working with.. Have a b18a1 head stock internals(should I upgrade anything?) a b18a1 complete block, but im gonna strip internals out of b18a1 block & put them in a mint b18b1 block I have.. But need opinions.. What turbo kit & size should I go with? Should I use different pistons(for example low compression pistons.. If so which ones? As of right now I have stock pr4 pistons in there) Also should I invest in better cams etc?? Want a good reliablE street car that put down 250 whp

        That is what I'm intending to do.. I want to bring it to machine shop to get hot tanked, re-honed, re surfaced, maybe a valve job.. But I have all new valve seals, main n rod bearings etc... I just want to know what pistons would be good for boost? What turbo should I buy etc etc

                Yeah yeah screw you lmao... Nah I'm still contemplating a j swap my nigga.. Just want to weigh my options out & understand that ineed to finish whatever build i do by april 2013.. It's between all motor j swap or turbo ls.. Only reason I'm contemplating boosted ls is cuz I have a perfect motor to rebuild in my garage..

                  Still tginking about it... Just weighing my options on account I have the perfect LS to rebuild & boost.. I feel like finding a j32a2 won't be bad, but finding a cl type s 6 speed tranny is gonna be a bitch & niggas is gonna tax.. Then on top of all that need. Custom harness, ecu work, mounts, shifter box, Wherein for the turbo LS build I already have a perfectly good tranny that shifts like butter.. I'm not saying I'm not going to do the J, just weighing options to see what best bang for my buck

                          Ls turbo is a fun swap to play with.. But if ur already taking out the internals might as well put low compression pistons .. It's not that expensive nowadays to build a bseries... I say build this and over the winter get as many j parts as u can find if u still wanna do the jswap...
