WAT should i go ls/vtec or B20 vtec.... i have a 97 gsr head .... plz help me out... and witch one would be faster

ByrdB20

I'd say go B20 but I have a bias opinion.

ive had b20vtec and it was fun n all, but im going lsvtec now.. everyone will have their opinion and its ultimately up to you.. but if i had the knowledge i do now, i would have went lsvtec a long time ago when my gsr took a crap on me..

b20vtec. "there is no replacement for displacement"

B20's have thinner cylinder walls where ls has thicker and therefore its stronger than a b20. It also depends what you wanna do with it? I mean turbo or all motor? for turbo setup you would have to re-sleeve the b20. I have friend who is running 14psi on a stock ls motor and
it still runs strong. For all motor setup most people would choose b20.

b20 has more torque but lack the top end power. so if you throw a gsr head on it you will have yourself a nice motor

this thread makes my brain hurt.

i should have known it was going to be a **** show when the first word was "wat"

Its not a tech topic. Its a can you hold my hand and show me what to do kind of ****. Its common sense. Figure out what you like and just do it.

^^i guess that one went over the head a little

vtecdc4

he is a asking a simple question.
its mostly opinion

Yea and they're are 20+ different 'legit' lsv or b20v threads and they're all filled with 'legit' opinions and 'legit' experiences that all contradict eachother. Many people have done these setups with different result and its all how you build, tune it and treat it.

Listening to people on this site will only make your decision harder, you've got one guy saying he's got a bone stock b20v beatin the **** out of it to 9k for the past year no problems and another guy sayin he babied his,didn't bring his engine over 7k and it blew up.


In the end BOTH blocks have HUGE potential and they have the same casting/crank so if you plan on sleeving/boring a LS is fine.

As said earlier this is another "take my hand and show me the way" thread. Unfortunatly the people on this site have 20 different "proven" opinions/experiences that will take you 20 different ways and your only gonna have your own opinion in the end.

Take some time, think about what you want out of the car and BUILT IT RIGHT AND IT WILL LAST

racebum

that and you want to slap people who can't even spell 'what' correctly

EHondaJDM

I've come to learn the some people are just born incapable to common sense.

We now live in a world where is 'cool' to miss spell words

el crapitan

if you're referring to my post, it was a joke. notice my spelling of the word "what"

EHondaJDM

I was refering to all post on the subject, and it was a bad joke that's why no one found it funny.

This subject has been beaten like a dead horse it is way too opinion ridden. In the end both platforms have potential and if you build it right it will do you good

LMAO sidekick internet browsers suck

el crapitan

oh. it's just your repeated use of quotations around a word i used in my post left the impression that you just didn't catch it, and perceived it as a serious post.
if that is true, my apologies. and i'll try more better next time

b20vtec, you will not be disappointed. torque, that is all.

To the OP, this has been covered HUNDREDS of times on various forums, so a little research can point you in the right direction. If you can read these posts, you can take the time to read some other posts that actually give technical and factual information that will lead you a better conclusion.
