im planning on building my ls into an lsvtec, i have a set of ITR pistons and cams, I want to make atleast 190- 200 hp at wheels is this possible with what i got and plus an ITR intake or skunk2 intake with good tuning? Also gonna use ARP rod bolts and head studs but would like to keep revs under 8000. Are my goals possible with what i have and if so what kind of times do u think stock teg should run in 1/4?

 

Word of advice.... do more research

 

do you have a vtec head?

 

there are tons of threads on HAN for lsvtec builds and how much hp they made.. just hit that search button.. but it will be possible to hit 190-200 wheel hp with what you got PLUS A WHOLE LOT MORE!! do the research..

 

i have aB16 head and gsr oil and water pump and timing belt also, thinking of eagle rods so i can rev with no fears. i have about $2500 to play with and the shop that is doing the work says they can get the power i want easily and they do this all day. They have been building hondas for 10+ years and i have seen their work and know they are good, but am i dreaming if i want 200hp at wheels with basicly stock parts and 8000 or less rpms?

 

^sounds like you have a good reputable shop.... and you seem pretty much all set...

and to answer your question... what you run in the 1/4 maters only to how good your tuner is and what parts you end up going with and how your car is running that day and the temperature at the track that day...

see how we can't assess on the internet what your time will be (roughly).

as for the intake manifold ... the skunk2 manifold should work just fine for you but even a stock GSR manifold will be ok... until you start building beyond what you are now... then there is really no need for the manifold to be upgraded just yet

 

coupled with a good header and good tuning 200whp is reachable with what you have. the stock rods will hold up to 8k fine, just replace the rod bolts with ones from arp.

 

ive been researching on an ls.vtec build for 6 months or more now and just started my build. You wont make 200whp with type r pistons because they only yield about a 10.x:1 compression ratio. to get to/exceed 200 you should aim for around 11.5:1 compression which can be done with jdm b16 pistons (p30) or with usdm b16 pistons (pr3) and a gsr head. A gsr head will yeild approx .2-.4 cr points. You can use ls rods, but it is recommended to shotpeen them (i have done this its cheap) and then you can rev them higher. Im planing on an 8600 soft cut to 8900 hard cut limiter on crome. Might want to balance the crank too...cant hurt.

the shop that is goning to do my work has one of the best Crome tunners in the country. He is the one that told me to get type r pistons to use with b16 head and it will give me 11.0/1 compression. Thanks for advice on shotpenning will do. I am planning on 50 shot of N.O.S also so want be only motor. Thinking the nitrous and some drag radials may put me in high 12sec quarters maybe. Thanks for all help and anymore that may be given.

 

jdm itr's will put him around 11:1
