I was wondering if anybody has had owned or had experience a LS on boost?

I am just finishing up my fully built Lsv build & it just so happens that I acquired a 00' b18b with a spun bearing for a price I could not refuse from a friend of mine. The head is completely fine, no damage was done. I know that i am going to have to get another block...

I have never gone boost before but I am thinking that now I have another motor project on my hands its time to do something different!
I am in no rush, this is just a side project that I am wanting to start.

From what I have been reading and by word of mouth it has come to my attention that these motors love forced induction.

Anybody here have any experience, tips & recommendations of certain set-ups to run? Is it worth it? What should I focus on for reliability?

I have always been a NA guy, this turbo world is new to me.

Thanks in advanced,
Ben

100% stock B18b + '98 ITR tranny + small efficient turbo (Evo 8 16g) = MONSTER!

My buddy in my town is running a completely stock b18b too with a well put together turbo kit. That shit moves!

11's in the 1/4 is insanity.

- Wed Jul 11, 2012 6:16 pm #310664 how long have you been running that set up?

so besides the kit did you do any thing in particular like ARP rod bolts, head studs; ect?

any info would be appreciated.
