ls/vtec.....more displacement and a longer r/s ratio....youll make more torque....

 

so you think ls/vtec would be better what about reliability.

its a t28 on 10 psi...you wont be making gob's of power so as long as you get a proper tune and set up the kit right you wont have problems.

a ls/vtec will be just as reliable as ne other honda motor on boost if you do it right

 

anyone have some numbers whats the power difference going to be. alot more torque i know but how much more and horse power and drag racing which is better.

 

LS will always make more TQ then a B16 at the same given HP. I usually see a difference of 10-20wtq. sometiems mroe depending on turbo. I jstu dynoed my stock b16 and hit a 270whp/175wtq on mustang dyno.

 

the turbo isnt very big its a garrett t28-t3 set at 10psi it worked good on my b17 dont know how much power it never got to the dyno because of my oil line i am leaning toward the ls/vtec but i should just give up i just built the b17 and was breaking it in so i could go to the dyno oh well some day maybe.

its a small turbo so thats going to help with torque as well....with a b16 or lsvtec youll make about the same hp and youll make more torque with the ls/vtec

270/175wtq

when i had a stock ls turbo and when i was making 270-280whp i made 242wtq.....when i made 304whp i made 270wtq.

go with a ls/vtec....torque is good.

 

thanks looks like ls/vtec is the way to go
