Turbo Build
He Guys I Finally Got My Rex And My Ls Block B18a1 And I Am Going Turbo I Have It All Apart And This Will Be My First Build So I Am Going To Build It With New Piston And Rod The Ones That I Was Thinkin Of Are Either Wisco Or Cp Dont Know Yet Since I Have It All Apart Will I Have To Machine It Or Anything And It Is Going To Be Stock Bore Which Is 81mm Can I Just Put It In Or Will I Need To Do Anything The Rods Are Eagle Rods My Goal Is 19psi When I Want To Go But Around Town 4to 6psi
well ur in wrong forum number one..number two..19 psi on what turbo?...ull need to atleast hone the block out..u can use 81mm if its at stock bore right now....pistons/rods/arp rod bolts..a must..a nice eagle crank wouldnt be a bad combo..and it just so happens..i have one for the lowest price ull ever see in ur life..300 firm this week(with under 100 miles on it)....other then that..do u plan to build the head..most likely ull want to..or do lsvtec...wiseco cp are both good pistons..so are je..just dont use srp(from what ive been told)...and i dont really recommend u building the motor urself..thats a lot of money u could waste if u dont know what ur doing...other then that ull need to micro ur crank..get bearings that fit get pistons pressed on..install rings etc..def a job for a shop or someone with the correct tools..i highly recommend u do not do it urself..and 19psi on a t3/t4 turbo is a lot..and will need to be tuned correctly..ull also need fuel pump injectors etc..and u dont need..but ull want a obd0-1 conversion along with a 3bar map sensor....and the list doesnt end......

stock honda crank is good for 600 hp.... like i said, eagle rods, je pistons, arp headstuds, cometic headgasket, and some tuning( prefferably crome pro). im helping him build the motor(been there done that plenty). go with t3/t4 .60. 440 injectors. it wouldnt be a bad idea to get new rod bearings but we'll make sure which one when i come over.

true, about the crank. a t3/t4 could hold it. i ran 15psi on my stock ls w/ stock fuel injectors and an fmu and a t3 for a couple months. its capable. he just wants it to spool quick and blow big air. ur probably right on the injectors..... he should go higher but well see hes still not 100% on what hes gonna do. we still have the bare block on an engine stand. we'll just have to work out kinks. his block will be strong though.

These forged 4340 steel crankshafts from Eagle Specialty Products are great for high-performance applications. They feature non-twist forging, go through a multi-stage heat-treatment process, and are stress-relieved and shot-peened. These cranks are X-rayed, magnafluxed, and sonic tested, so you know you're getting a top-quality piece. Each crankshaft has cross-drilled and chamfered oil holes for improved oiling, a .125 in. radius on rod and main journals for increased strength, and the journals are precision-ground and micro-polished to less than 5 RA. A target bobweight of +/- 2 percent greatly reduces balancing time. just a run through of it..
