im think bout doin an engine swap in my ek and dont no which one to do. im putting this in the forced induction section becuz ill be boostin that engine. which engine should i do.

1. lsvtech
2. ls
3. gsr
4. si
5. h22

i will be rebuild the engine completely and any info will be helpful

 

what are you horsepower goals? budget? daily driver?

 

bout 350-400 daily driver i dont no if thats to much hp for a daily driver not really worried bout budget but i wanna run it strickly pump gas

 

I would probably go with a gsr myself. Once upon a time I had a gsr block and threw a b16 head on it and that was a great combo. With the gsr block you already have vtec so all you have to do it throw the head on. With the ls/vtec you have to run all the lines and tap **** for vtec. Just easier and works great. I only did it because I had the block and head sitting in my garage and needed a motor so I threw them together. A straight gsr swap would be great.

 

A stock gsr would probably be the most reliable for
the money you would have invested.

 

thanks for the info would you keep the gsr head or a b16

 

If it were me, I would throw in a gsr. Its gonna cost a lot more than an ls but in the long run it will be worth it. You can make 350whp no problem with a stock gsr. My next choice would be an ls engine. You can make 300whp fairly easily and they are cheap as **** and readily available. Basically, it comes down to what you are willing to spend

 

A gsr head is fine, I would just run it stock.

 

wat bout ecu gsr with a hondata chip, a standalone or wat do you guys suggest

 

D16Z6

engine and trans, $200
fjt kit, $600
turbo, $300
machine work, $200
20lbs turn ya out, priceless

 

GSR

more displacement than the B16, better flowing head than an LS, and it doesnt have FRM sleeves like the H22.
