Default b16 or ls

which one to get?

i have a vtec harness already on the car, just debating on which motor to get.

i'm leaning more towards the b16.

i already have a drag turbo kit that i will put on it.


what you guys think

The b18 has a bit more torque for the low end, and is a better motor to turbo because of the lower compression it comes stock with.

I thought B18's handled boost better.

My buddy blew up 2 B16's when he turboed it and then he got an LS. But you can find B16 bottom ends all the time real cheap if you do blow it up. A guy around me has a stock LS on 16lbs and he runs 11.50's in a gutted coupe. Since you haven't done a B16 yet, I'd say give it a try.

ls turbo was fun too

i just spun a bearing in my GSR turbo, but a new longblock is too expensive. so i'll end up settling for a ls or b16 this time around.

12's on street tires.

don't really care about how much power, just times.

maybe 110 traps.
