I was building a ls-vtec for boost but I need the car running asap so I'm thinking about going n/a.....
Here is a list of all my parts, just so you guys can get an idea of where I'm at so far:
-B18B block (decked,honed,hot tanked)
-B16 head (all stock. fresh out of the machine shop with new oem valves/springs/retainers. have reciept for all the work FRESH!)
-S80 transmission (wanted the longer gears for my initial turbo build. Will this hurt me when going n/a? Or will I be able to run this tranny for awhile and still get decent performance out of it?)
-Eagle H-beam rods
-CP 9.0:1 compression standard-bore pistons (This, besides the tranny, is the only thing i need to change out for N/A. I am either going to sell these off and buy some aftermarket high comp. pistons or if I find anyone who is willing to trade, I'll trade for high comp pistons. WHAT COMP. DO YOU GUYS SUGGEST FOR DAILY DRIVING ON 93OCT. GAS? I want to make the most power possible while still being reliable and a DD)
-all ARP BOLTS/STUDS
-all ACL RACE BEARINGS
I still need the small random stuff but for the most part I have everything ready to go. My main ?'s/concerns are:
I PLAN ON RUNNING ITR/CTR CAMS (WILL THESE MAKE GOOD POWER WITH MY SETUP OR SHOULD I SAVE AND PURCHASE SOME STAGE 2/3 CAMS?) and.....
WHAT COMPRESSION PISTONS SHOULD I GO WITH? As stated, this is going to be my DD and run on 93oct. and lastly.....
WILL MY S80 TRANNY BE FINE TO RUN WITH THIS N/A SETUP? i'm just worried that this trans will make my car feel like a dog with the long gears.....
If I had the $ I'd finish my turbo build but things have come up and I recently lost my job, so I just want this thing running! I have some turbo stuff that I'm able to sell off for some extra $ for the cams or whatnot. Thanks for everyones help and responses
