Had some questions i have an LS but i don't know if i should turbo it, have had about three turbo cars before i want something different. I think LS/vtec is pretty complicated i heard i need to overhaul the engine completely. I've read a couple of LS/vtec articles and all the parts water pump timing belt, and all i need to do to the head or those pins removed or sealed......it's just scary(since i dont' know crap about it, so i wanted to swap out the LS for a gsr motor then go with the ITB's from TWM induction since i read they only have it for the gsr head. Any suggestions opinions are greatly appreciated and of very much help to me, completely new to the honda/acura world.
Or do you think i should just turbo the LS? Considering that the LS has a fairly low compression to boost would it be safe to run around 15-18 psi's with proper fuel management? Thank you |

if you want something different, then go GSR with ITB's. i THINK todaracing.com also makes itb's for b16a's and b18c's.
but, on the straights, you'll get owned by turbocharged cars. if it were my choice, i'd get ITB's. |

be it low compression or not it is not "safe" to run 15-18 psi on a stock ls bottom end, good fuel management or not
