Default Ls Turbo Build??

I’m in the process of building a B18b Turbo. Need to know how cold of a plug I should use and should I stick with NGK or go with something else. Also how about the timing should It be 4 degrees retard or more or less? I’m a first time booster so I’m not 100% on everything. I bought the Car with the turbo setup and a Crvtec that blew so I just got a B18b to swap in. It had a FMU with an inline fuel pump “ just a booster pump” and Accell 40lb injectors and a hondata s200. I dumped the booster and the FMU. With all that being said what is a good fuel pressure to run on this 26psi

Two heat ranges colder than stock. NGK is fine. As for the rest, those are all questions your tuner will answer when your car is on the dyno programming the Hondata.


26 psi?

well said tiger, stick with NGK or even Bosch is fine. Timing is not something you should mess around with when you do a turbo build. Leave it all up to your tuner, and if he knows what hes doing, you will have a better spool time, and more power, for hondas power is in the timing good luck, im building my ls turbo right now, let me know how its going, keep it posted

I'm Gonna Have to Tune It my self. The only tunner is 5 hours away. So I need to half ass tune it untill I can get up there. I have a s200 hondata hooked up to a p28 ecu and I have know idea what kind of settings are on the ecu. It came with the car when I bought It. It had a Crvtec in it.
