Hey guy's i just wanted to know what i should do with my LS engine i go no idea what i should do i dont htink i have enough power but gsr is not that much more should i get bolt ons and leave it or should i do a type r swap or should i go turbo and sleeve the block?? im just kinda stuck in one spot right now anything would help thanks.

 

Please try to proof read you post before posting it, it is kinda hard to read. I would either put a VTEC head on it or just throw on a turbo kit. The factory LS engine should hold 8-10psi with no internals.

 

If your tight for money now, do the basic stuff, CAI, Cat-back, & FPR... all that stuffs carrys over, if your still not happy than swap in a different motor and you still get to keep your bolt ons. Me personally with my LS I got all 3 bolt-ons, I'm still thinkin about what to do while I'm saving up money, I'm more of an all motor person so I might go GSR or ITR swap Good Luck with what you do

 

whatever he said

 

What are your goals for this car? And what is your budget?
If you want to go all motor, i/h/e/c would probably be what you want, and/or an LS/VTEC setup.
If you want to go turbo, save your money and don't buy unnecessary parts.

 

definently turbo charge that bitch.........

 

boost or juice

 

if moneys not a problem(it doesnt sound like it if your thinkin of a built type R) i would build and boost the thing like none other

 

the thing is that money is really not an issue but i dont think stock ls with 8 psi will do it for me im looking to do 25 psi of boost if i were to boost. im also thinking of LS-Vtec but people tell me there are problem i done the swap for people before and no complaints so far except for one guy he said it doesnt last long i dont know what that means but i was planning to get my block bored out to 81.5mm get high compression pistons 12.5:1 and go all motor with a b16 head with b16b camshafts im i am still truely stuck on this one would i be happy with i/h/e? i doubt it please more feedback you guys have really helped me out so far thank you guys, also my goal is 300whp if i go turbo and if i go all motor 210whp? thanks

 

What kind of driving do u do... if u dont do too much traveling or anything swap in a gsr tranny... I run with and alot of times faster than Gsr's with just the tranny swap and I/E

 

200 shot of NAWS.... j/k i would sleve the block, pick up some rods and pistons, headstuds and then turbo it and push like 14 psi......and some new injectors and a ems system

 

on second thought i dont want to spend too much money something that would be reliable and fast maybe i should go with the block bored out to 81.5mm 12.5:1 CR vtec head gsr tranny and bolt ons what yuo guys think? im saving up to move onto bikes.

 

So far on my LS/VTEC build I have spent around $2000

Thats what im doing, minus the bore out.

The guy doing my tuning, Stoney at velocity performance in Dallas TX said he can get well over 200whp out of it when i throw on cams&gt;
I'm doing 12:1 compression with a GSR head.
If your going for reliability, i may be wrong, but iheard boring it out that much can affect your reliability b/c it makes the sleeves much much thinner?
someone correct me if im wrong.
anyways,
mines being built as im typing.. i cant wait!
