im ready to start building my block for a turbo, but i ran into a small problem. oki am planning on building an extra block so my car wont be down to long........my crx has a b16 in it right now. but i found a b18a and a b16 motor for 250 bucks, what would yall do. ls vtec, ls or b16 no matter what itll be turboed but i cant decide what block to build.......im shooting for 300whp, and 250+ tq

b18bturbo

its user preferance on the block choices. You can make good power on straight ls as well as straight b16a. you can also make good pwer on a ls/vtec setup. I would go with whatever you feel comfortable with.

ls/vtec will be little more costly due ot the oil lines and other machining

Like b18bturbo said it's user preference. I'd go with either the straight ls or b16. The LS will put down a lot of torque...

LS/vtec. You dont need to machine anything any longer. It will be a little more expensive though, but that would be my first choice. Someone in the sponsor classifieds is selling a complete set for ls/vtec. i would check it out.

Otherwise probably chose just an LS because I personally dont like reving up to 5000rpm to start getting my power.

Ha! That is why I bought a honda

I have almost the same decision to make, and I think I am going to build the b16, as I like high revving small displacement engines and you can't beat the rode to stroke ratio. Big turbo, rocket valve-train = bliss

Really though, like everyone one said it is just a choice you have to make, all can make good power.

Sorry to highjack, but when I read the title from the thread I knew you were from texas because you had "yalls." LOL!

Ok back on topic

b16a...but why build for only 300whp?

BECAUSE ITS AN EVERYDAY CAR, AND I NEED IT TO BE STREETABLE ( TRACTION)

no need to yell...personally i would just spent the money on good fuel/engine managment and leave the block alone if only want 300whp.

IVE decided on the b16,
my plans are (feel free to give input)
ge sleeves
83mm bore
arias 9.5:1 comp
pauter rods
endyne flow beched head
itr valves
ferra (sp) valve springs and retainers
and perscion turbo
victor x mani,
type r cams
hondata s200

wow...sounds like a big waste of money for 300whp. i think most of us could do that for $1500ish with either the LS, B16, or the LS/Vtec....

dc2_and_ef

i really want to be safe and over build than under build and blow something up.......what in yalls oppion would be needed for something like what im looking for?......oh dude im sorry about the caps, when im at work my computer stays in caps because of the comands i have to use

Bailhatch

The LS torque is SOOOO fun though. For a street car thats what I would build, plus all the retards will be like 'yall can't go fast without veetek' then you can be like 'yall watch me, suckas!'

dc2_and_ef

bump.......anybody else have any input
