If you have the valve overlap and you're under boost, a good portion of your boost pressure just goes straight out the exhaust.

yeah i know the reasoning behind overlap and why it will kill the power on a boosted car. i was just under the impression that there was little to no overlap with CTR/ITR cams.

what would be a better idea for boost apps?

The GSR intake cam and ITR exhaust cam is a pretty sweet turbo setup.

Well for one thing the B18A head is not a GSR head, it is a obd1 91-94 Integra LS head. As far as cams go I am all about trying to use as many oem parts as you can but I would not try to go this route. The single gsr cam you can probly get but the ITR exhaust cam will come at a price and that's if you can find it by itself. I honestly think you will get off alot cheaper by picking up a set of Crower cams. As far as your build your stock sleeves will be fine. Eagle rods and a set of Weisco forged pistons, a skunk2 intake manifold and you should be set to make some good numbers.

Back all this up with a good turbo like a gt28 or a t3 super 60, a lovefab turbo manifold, a JRC intercooler, and Hondata with a 2.5 inch exhaust and your ready.

on the B........depending on the tune.......you could run 275 WHP very safely........which will dip a civic into the 12s on slicks if im correct.

I have known of around 300 on a stock LS but that is pushing it a bit. The B18B's are IMHO the single best engine in the honda lineup to boost. The B18C1's are also good but the long stroke of the B18B makes it a prime engine for really good tq numbers.
