im looking to build up a ls engine. im going to run an ls-turbo set up in my 98dx. i want to build the engine up before i boost it and i want it to be able to handle a significant amount of power. so what should i do to the engine as far as like pistons rods valve springs ect..... i dont know a whole hell of alot about engine internals so any help would be appreciated. ian

thats exactly what you do, pistons,rods,new valvetrain, and if your wanting massive power, sleeve the block, theres a ton of aftermarket companies that make strong internals for b series cars you just have to do the research and choose what you like.......

i want to go with a turbo kit nothing custom unless i can find some one who knows alot about turbos and can guide me in building a good setup. and as far as a vtec head goes i heard that isnt as good with turbo than just a straight up ls turbo. but once again im not an expert on engines thats just what ive been told.

someone said vtec... yeah... ls/vtec turbo? anybody done this? anybody driven around in one for longer than two months before a head gasket blows? I'm completely building an ls/vtec right now and didn't think turbo was even feasable even with the spoon metal head gasket

As far as internal wise, JE/SRP Pistons (9:0.1) Compression, Eagle Rods, Crower valve springs and retainers, Crower Turbo Cams, Darton Sleeves, Extreme Total Seal rings, RC 310cc Injectors, MSD Fuel managment Fuel pump, AEM Fuel rail,Skunk2 intake manifold. And a Crower 1.8-2.0 Stroker kit will do great also.
