Faster as in top speed or faster off the line?
Faster in a straight line or faster through an autocross or road race track? 94

Well you current set-up is around 11.9:1 compression. Build the head....get cams that will work well w/ your set-up, and you'd be pleased.

Change the block out for a B20 and swap the head with a B18C1 Gsr. Throw in a set of cams with the appropriate valvetrain. Get a good I/H/E combo, get it tuned and your good to go. Sounds a lot easier on paper right?

Since when was the thread title "What block and head combo should I go with?" Try and be helpful. He asked "what to do to make my lsv faster?"

He could always read up on what others have done in the past 10 years and gather some good information from that. Not that hard really. Sorry but my baby feeding spoon is broken at this point in time.

Your grammar is "**** suck." I wish you would have "keeped" your all motor set up as well.


Point being, if you are going to post a thread, make the title a little more descriptive (read the FAQ and forum rules). If you want to post up help for people, use correct grammar, otherwise no one takes you seriously, or at least I don't.

Here is some help to make your LS-Vtec faster in general. You could always buy a turbo kit for the most bang for your buck. If you decide to stay all motor you will need to upgrade your valvetrain with new, more aggressive cams, new stiffer springs, new valves, higher compression pistons, and a port and polish of your head. these will get you a good amount of power, but will never make your car as fast as a turbo'ed car for the same amount of money. When installing these parts, you will want to invest in some good fasteners to ensure that your engine isn't going to get destroyed in the higher RPM's. After all of this work, you will then need to get a good engine tune, regardless of if you decide to go turbo, or N/A. Hope this helps. (also try searching the build threads for more ideas)

You'll only be able to reach so much power with an all N/A build. You can definitely get ITB's. Also, run a bigger exhaust set up and delete your cat.

Not directly, but until we know what the OP means by "faster" then speculating on what he needs is pointless, that's why I asked...

"Faster as in top speed or faster off the line?
Faster in a straight line or faster through an autocross or road race track?"

Again, untill we know, we may all just as well be pissing into the wind. 94
