oh ok that helps alot! how do i know if the turbo requires EMS or not?

 

You should get an EMS with any turbo setup because the stock ECU doesn't have maps for boost nor does it allow tuning of any kind to make the most power with your setup. You can bandaid the ECU with a piggyback but a standalone ECU like AEM or Hondata will get you much better results much safer.

 

Exactly! We make a great team.

 

cool ill have to look into that

 

sorry 4 all the questions but the people that make the kits dont have that much detail about them. thats why i rather talk to people like u guys who no wut they r talikin about.

but how do they size turbos¿ is it the high the # like t88 the bigger the turbo or wut. i just need some helo to pick the right turbo that will get me into the low 12s or possiby lower.

 

If he kept the stock redline, nothing would change as far as reliability goes. It's people that try to spin stock LS blocks to 8k and beyond that end up with problems...rod bolt stretch.

 

I was assuming that he was going to be upping the redline since there is little gain to a ls vtec conversion without doing that. But yeah, you are definitely right about that. Boosted or not, taking a stock LS block to GSR rev limits is just stupid unless you have done some sufficient reinforcement down there.
