ok so the stage two set up with full bolt ons was a fun 260whp and what not but i fucked up a piston and well i miss riding in a 400+ hp car soo im getting on the lsj turbo bandwagon and trading it for a differnt car sounds dumb because its just about payed off. im in afghanistan and have money to spare so yea wish me luck on 450whp and 93 octane

got rid of all my other go fast parts for the turbo build =D



ideas and help are very much welcomed and so are the trolls haha.

 

your post is confusing. You say you are getting on the turbo lsj bandwagon and selling the car? Then you post a build list.

 

learn to comprehend. i said trading it for another car sounds dumb because its almost payed off and who in their right mind would build a turbo lsj then just get rid of it?

 

No need to insult, just the way you worded it was a bit confusing. Also there are more then a few that built their LSJ turbo then sold it. Been on this forum 4 years and seen it a few times like

 

i say insulting is ok on my thread but i dunno if the mods are ok with that haha. anyways back onto topic i just clicked order on the arp head studs, mls hedgasket, diamond forged pistions. hopefuly ottp doesnt **** me haha

 

With the head being off I would go ahead and get it ported/valve job. I would also swap out the stock rods.

Add springs/retainers at a minimum, so later on if you want cams you don't have to pull the head again.

Hmm, I would also go with the S256et. 400-450whp gets boring after a while.

 

yeah i dont plan on doing cams. i was thinking port and polish but really anything over 400whp will make me happy lol im not looking to go 600whp. this isnt my dd but if i have to pull the motor apart again it give me something to do and be away from the wife haha. beer, cars, and away from the wife=winning

 

If you're gonna build the bottom end I highly suggest having it sleeved. You could be risking your build if the sleeves fail.

 

sleeves will hold for what im looking to put down and i did **** up a piston so once i tear her apart and check things out if i need new sleeves it will happen

 

There are a few people that will tell you 400WHP will hold up on a stock motor. It's a judgment call. If it were me I would take care of the sleeves if you are gonna put in better/stronger pistons and other things. With the increased power IF something fails it will go to the next weakest link. In the case of our motors it's also the sleeves. Mine failed #4 at just 20 psi and none of my pistons should signs of abnormal wear.

 

my cyl 3 whent to ****. when i start the car i have to keep reving the hell out of it and my gas goes away fast and comes out the exhaust lol.

 

I can help you out with the clutch and fuel system also.

 

local guy is selln an exedy for 350 so on the clutch im good

 

Hopefully its not too extensive. Mine was like a pinata with confetti

 

yeah im hoping it didnt mess up the sleeve any or anything else. hopefuly its just a pull out and put back together thing.

 

pretty much making this build because two of my sti buddies are shooting for over 400awhp so i just gotta keep the stis haten on the ss haha and its not my dd(dd is a ka24de s13) so everytime i drive it after i drive the s13 ill be wet

 

my tuner did actually, he traded it for an evo8. he is a smart guy too.

 

yeah i wouldnt trade for an evo 8 haha

 

you should have had the block checked before you ordered any engine parts espicaly pistons if the bores arent true youll just put together an oil burner

 

yes it will be getting looked over before anything is put back together.

 

added some updates =D cant wait to get home and have one hell of a time

 

brian is tehhhh Ghey!

 

joe has stretch marks on his lips
