advice on building my b18b

I've got JE pistons that came with it, 10.5:1 and eagles rods. I also got a LS tranny with it too. I'm considering a t3/t04e turbo(intercooler, ect..). What do you guys think I could do with the remaining 3k?:D

Where can I find racing/custom parts for my LS tranny? I tried googling it but, no luck.

obx makes a diff......gearspeed makes nice replacements for sliders/synchros.....qauiffe (sp) makes a good diff ($$$). Traction bars, motor mounts, etc.

couple companies make axles....DSS....Gator....I'm sure there are a couple more.

Buy a wideband o2 gauge/display if you are going to stay into modifying the car. I would also invest in a boost controller with gear dependant boost control. If you are going for moderate power you may as well buy some DOT slicks or at least some bfg DR as well.

a lot of things 3k could go to.....

get rid of the 10:5 pistons for one...go low compression for boost

agreed, 10.5:1 is kind of high for boost, im all about laying a good foundation so like mentioned above i would focus on driveline components. especially a nice clutch.

you could do a bad ass lsvtec with what you got and 3k. but if you were planning on boostin i would get some lower comp pistons, as some one already said and besides the clutch and tranny stuff you might want to look into good tires. my buddies integra spun the tires from 1st -3rd before hooking up with azeinas.

lower compression is better for more boost...agreed! BUT higher compression turboed cars are super responsive!!!

Sell the LS tranny and get a GSR or a b16 depending on how short of ratios you want. OBX diff, the quaife is nice, but about twice as much. I would watching out on milling the head or resurfacing anything. You don't want to go any higher on compression.
