I am about to put an ls with turbo in my 92 civic ex and I was wondering should I rebuild it for turbo or just leave stock internals

how many psi on what turbo do you plan to ruN??

if you have the funds... rebuilding it would be a great precaution so you dont blow anything up..

are you planning on an engine management systeM?

how much psi can I run on stock internals? probably Greddy turbo

depending on the mileage and condition of the motor i wouldn't run more than 6-8 lbs. of boost....tuning also plays a big factor in this.....

With good tuning 12 psi on that greddy turbo wouldnt be a problem. There are quite a few people pushing nearly 250 whp on stock internals on ls motors. Its all about tuning.
