i have an ls vtec crx and i got a brand new turbo kit, lookin up my motor the compression is kinda shitty with stock ls pistons. this is the list of mods i have- stg 2 cams valve springs retainers, intake manny, intake full greddy exhaust, straight pipe fuel rail fpr headers and a/f ratio gaugeand tuned with crome. stock bottom end. let me kno any info plz and im only goin to push about 6 plbs of boost. no higher

WTF?! you don't have a single question there. Is there something you wanted to know?
lol wat i meant is is it safe to turbo the motor, and safe around 6 plbs of boost? with the minor mods.....? and would i be ok to daily drive a short distance.

tight thanks. and are they hard to install? im very mechanically inclined and i can do motor swaps ect. but i mean ive never done one before. ive put a supercharger on my single cam but idk how much of a difference there is between the 2.

They're not hard to install at all. If you can do a swap you can put a turbo in.
Essentially the hard part consists of tuning. The easy stuff is taking your exhaust manifold off, putting the new one with the turbo on, running piping from the turbo to the intercooler to the Intake manifold and putting on parts like new injectors, a wastegate, a blowoff valve, etc.
ok kool. o have the crome were i can tune it with my laptop but if i need a good tune il leave it to the experts. thanks man il let u know how everything goes.
rods and pistons are your best friend could go without but you will just be fixing more then just the rods and pistons when they "dont" hold. Ive only built ls/vtec and b20/vtec all motor projects but in my first build about 4 years ago I had a stock rod break in a all motor ls/vtec couldnt emagine that stress with a turbo added. High rpms+turbo+vtec+bottum end not built for any or the last listed=boooooom. Have seen friends push their limits with stock honda blocks and that limit was found quickly everytime. Sence from what ive read its your daily driver I would say "hell no" on boosting that motor sence its all ready been beat on from being a ls/vtec that was not even built for that task. Tuners make cars run well making the car fast and reliable on stock parts is for the fant hearted and people with big pockets with nothing better to do. Build or Boom!
wel ima be building and extra ls block. ima make it a complete race motor. pistons rod balanced crank u name it ima make it put out some power. i was jus goin to put the turbo on the stock block and boost around 6psi with stg 2 cams. (turbo cams) and limit the rev to about 7 grand maybe lower i was thinkin 6 1/2 just til i get the other bottom end complete. im barely goin to start the bottom end and have pistons(itr) rods(gsr) complete bearings ect, and i juss need to buy the block gaurd balance the crank machine work and of course assembly. but wat do u think will be better? ls vtec turbo fully built or ls fully built turbo?
or i can also juss get a gsr block since i already have the gsr head and juss cover up the ls /b20 vtec oil line. all fully built and turbod wat motor u think will last the longest with the most power?

You don't know what you're talking about. Stop speculating.
6lbs of boost isn't going to do anything to his motor and he DAMN SURE doesn't need rods to do that.

Or liscen to this guy..... Please dont give people bad info he was talking about stock block, stock vtec head , and turbo wounder what his compresion is gonna be after that? Do you know? Then shhhhhhhh
Hey sup!!!I got a question and hope you or anyone out there can answer it!I am going to do a LS swap into my 1990 dx and i was wondering if anyone knows how to do the wiring becasue i hear too many shit and i dont know which one is right.I heard that you can just swap the whole sub harness but i dont think that will work though i havent tried but i think it wont!!I have the motor (b18a1) but i dont know if i should get the ls sub harness cause i dont know if it will fit or not?Thanks
u can boost it wit six pounds but take in mind tha a ls/vtec isnt really reliable it'll be less reliable now that your addin a turbo on it... but sum1 kinda was off track wit the whole boom thing it wont blow unless u dropin +8pds of boost bcuz den u gotta worry about compression
