Yeah lets turbo a motor with 213k on it!!!!! Maybe it will make it to 217k.

If he wants simplicity then a rebuild and turbo is his best option.

Congratulations on adding nothing to this thread what-so-ever, other than your "TORK ROOLS DA UNIVERSE" attitude.

Yes, lets turbo a 213k mile engine!!

Why put a B16 in there? Because B16s used to come in Integras and you would have to be a ******* Nascar driver to notice the slightly less torque that it has when using it as a daily driver.

Half the people on this forum that bash B16s in Integras have never driven an Integra with a B16 in it.

I would leave the LS and just put in a b16/itr tranny.

It will eat b16's for brunch.

200 kilometers isn't that much, you might want to seafoam it and get a compression test, if comp/leakdown comes out fine, keep that motor.

I dont know why this wasn't brought up yet... sell your honda and go back to nissan if you want a "fast" car. Swap a VE in there and it will eat up any swapped honda with an exception of a k20, but then again if you spent 4k+ on your motor the k20 wouldnt touch you.

And to the people that are talking about boosting a car with 217,000 miles or anyone that thinks the car has that many miles is completly retarded. Read the post again its not hard to miss.

1) I'm not following your hate. Money = fast in any car platform.

2) he said 217,000 km. Not that many in terms of "milage"

Sorry I was trying to help out the OP he said he has a nissan before so I thought I might tell him how they are a better car to make "fast". But if you want talk cheap parts, have you seen the prices to mod a big block?

In reference to the dyno:


how about the LS having 25 more ft lbs to the wheels over all and almost 40 at 4,000, doesnt seem like a little less torque as well as an average of 15-20 whp across the usable power band. Not to mention he said kilonmeters

Sorry I was thinking in miles, that's how I think by default. My bad.

Just turbo it.

/thread

PS: F all you B16 haters. None of you have probably even done a swap. And St Jimmy is right about Nissans. You can make much more power for a cheaper price. SR20DET swaps are only like $3,000 now. It's too bad I don't like any of the Nissan body styles otherwise I know what swap I would be doing.

My full swap + IHE cost 1500 bucks. 197WHP and 189 WTQ. Going from a b16 teg to the sentra was a HUGE change. I had NO idea what torque was untill I got this car Turbo kits for the VE are around 1000 for something decent. 10.1:1 compression + 7-10 PSI = 320 HP on pretty much a stock motor with minor bolt ons. Still have much room for upgrading. VET &gt; DET....


OP go back to nissan

My friend just put a RB26 into a e30 BMW. It's going to be making around ~500hp Yeah the Sentra motors are really badass. VEs are 3.0 6cylinders though aren't they? That's not fair!

If I ever get energetic and have a project car I'd love to put a Nissan engine into a DA and call it a day. But right now I don't have the project car, time, or money.

It's really all about the K-series if you want to be competitive with Nissan enthusiasts. Either that or an insanely boosted GS-R.

I'm pretty sure he only needs one DC header in his car... unless your are doing a V8 swap. Buying an extra Header does not sound cheap and doing so won't add any horspower.

u dont have to go and flame everyone ABCVTEC. were just trying to give him a simple answer..

everyone is talking about swapping, or doing LSV combos and such and such.

he wants SIMPLE plain power.... so just boost the bitch.
he can rebuild if he wants, its his choice, just because i ddint mention the rebuilding part doesnt mean you have to yell.

I didn't realize boosting a motor was so easy these days, not to mention maintaining a boosted motor. I must have been cryogenically frozen for the past 15 years.

I say keep the LS. Run necessary tests to make sure its fine. Get some higher CR pistons, get the head Ported and Polished, 3-angle valve job, Crower Cams and call it a day. I'd also get a P8R head if you don't already have one.

Is this going to give you 200whp+? No.
Is it going to be cheaper than a turbo? Yes.
Is it going to be more reliable than a turbo? Yes.
Is it going to be easier to maintain than a turbo? Yes.
Is it still going to be pretty fast? Yes.

I'm not an LS-T hater. I'm slowly starting to put together an LS motor that I will be building for boost gradually. Project thread will be up when I have more moulah, parts, and time.

I'm a B16 Hater hater.

thats what i meant, it was a very long day at work yesterday. its not very cheap but it will help the moter breath a lot better than just a stock one. like i said you cant really do anything really cheap to the motor and expect a big gain.

I know that you said inexpensive but your not going to get alot of HP with basic bolt-ons especially on an LS motor! But if you're willing to save money i would suggest buying a good turbo kit and some forged rods and pistons!!
