i need some help at this point i am very confused. i am seriously looking into doing an ls turbo setup i have a t3/t4 turbo and the ls long block. the original plan was to have gem sleeve the block with a nice set of rods and pistons. after talking to a couple people they are telling me i can run on the stock ls block with hondata and good tunning. i am only looking to run between 10-15 pounds of boost. it is going to be daily driven 100 miles a day so reliability is key. so should i play it safe and spend a little more money but have a bullit proof block, or can i stay stock just get it tunned and be just as reliable? if anyone on here is running a stock ls turbo and can confirm these statements i have heard, i would appreciate it.

 

If you are only boosting 10-15 psi then you won't need to sleeve. Rods and pistons would be a good idea though.

 

A friend of mine has a 94 integra ls Turbo, he is running a Rev hard stage 3 turbo kit pretty much just the kit and thats it. Ummm he runs daily driver and everything is fine, i mean obviously he tuned it and everything. If that helps kool, if it doesnt than lemme know and u can talk with him he has been working on Hondas since he was about 11!!
