lol now you have to be even more specific... lol sorry what motor? Mods? Also I need to know what trim the T3/T4 you are gonna use is?
Reg-trim-585CFM's@15psi
S-trim-600CFM's@15psi
V-trim-700CFM's@15psi
In all honesty if it is a B series(excluding type-r) you will be fine with the reg and s-trim on a stock motor. 5-7psi without intercooler. With a D series I wouldnt think about running the regular trim over 5psi. If you have a D series make sure you use an intercooler or it might go boom after a month or so! The T3/T4's flow quite a but of CFM's! Thats what they are good for. Besides spooling up quick. Go to the Turbo section and compare the CFM's that I had Brian put in there of Mitsubishi turbo's. Greddy uses 18G's for their B and H series applications. D series greddy uses 15G's! Hope this helps.

If you are running a high lift cam then you will/should probably run a stronger, stiffer valve spring. Call delta cams in tacoma wa. (i'll post the info later when I find it) they will weld build and regrind your stock cam for about $100 or send you a new one for about $250 without core. If you sent them the spec's for the crower cam then they can make it as well. As for valves, I picked up a set of stainless exhaust valves, 1mm overbore, for $14cdn (about $8usd) each, for the D17 project so shop around.
Oh yeah, if you cooked any of the valves, get a machine shop to take a look at the damage, and give you an estimate on installing larger valves. You can install new valves yourself but it is a lengthy process. If you really want to know I will post it up later.

Endyn does polish the pistons... but the Rollerwaves are Wiseco pistons built to Endyn's specs.
Yup. Â Awesome pistons.

i love my rollerwaves... can't wait to get them in the car
SiR Kid swears by 'em too... [/QUOTE]
I love mine, and they've got a solid 38k miles on them so far.
Actually, if you check Endyn's site, my compression is supposed to be between 12.78 and 13.63:1.. and it runs great on 93 octane gas.

i know that crower and crane both make turbo cams for the b18b. (does toda make 'em too?) i just wanna know which is better and why for about 12 psi.
also, whats the difference/advantage/disadvantage between single/dual/triple coiled valve springs? and which is best for about 12psi?
finally, which is best (crower, crane, or skunk2) for valve springs & retainers?

JG makes the best cams. Go get some Roller rockers from Crane. Head work is one of the most important things. I Have no idea why someone would say not to worry about it. I would build the head before you do anything else. Ive built a few serious drag motors and I always start with the head.

i know i have to get stiffer springs if im gunna do cams, so im just gunna do the valves and retainers as well. i was on www.theoldone.com and was just wondering if anyone can give some feedback on their valves.
also, lemme know if you have any answers for my last post two posts above this one. thanks

Inspecta- I'm guessing it's just the spring stiffness. I don't know exact specs, so I couldn't tell ya.
Brian- Yup Larry turns out great stuff- he's just very secretive about his operation. Phillip (Intercrew) goes over to his place a lot, and he won't let anyone else go with him... Larry doesn't even want people to know where he is. I asked Phillip if I could tag along once and he said that Larry wouldn't like that.

thanks for the input
Yup.
Well, I'm running the pistons that he and Phillip spec'd out to Wiseco and I love them, I've watched one of his massaged JRSCs make amazing power on the dyno, and Phillip (Intercrew) believes in him. That's good enough for me- I can still get his parts, and I don't have to deal with 'the man', regardless of whether or not his business practices are good. I've never experienced anything bad from him.
