I am ordering a motor today and i wanted a couple of opinions on what other people think i should do. i had an LS turbo with 99,000 miles on the engine and blew the piston rings. i was running 9lbs at the time, big mistake i know, but i want to know what you guys think i should do as far as ordering this next motor. i will be running 7lbs (tuned)!! they are about the same price so that is not the problem. i am just wondering which motor i should order. B20 or B18B1?? any help will be appreciated.
thanks

any help??

 

come on!!!

 

You will get people in favor of both motors. Are you planning on modding or leaving your motor stock? I have a b20 on 7 lbs and it is nothing but a blast to drive. However, many people would choose the b18b due to the inferior design of the sleeves on a b20. Just read around and you'll find whatever you want to know.

 

thanks, that makes sense. i am sure i will keep this one stock and build the motor i am taking out.

Yeah, it was untuned. I will admit i was impatient and definately learned my lesson
