Well i have a D16Y8 with 166k miles.. i also have a junkyard turbo setup but im not sure itll hold since it has too many miles on it!!!
im also trying to work on a LSVTEC setup i have..
what do u guys recomend boosting 166k miles or save on LSVTEC???
TIA

Do a compression check and if the engine is in good shape and you take care of it I don't think it would be too bad. Just make sure its tuned correctly with your setup of choice and you don't boost too high. Good luck.

or do a b18 build

i'd since your working on a LS/V already might as well sell the turbo setup and get more parts to complete your LS/V.

166k miles is up pretty high, id say youd probably benefit more from saving for your LS motor.

Don't boost... Save that money and put it towards the LS-Vtech... Or just kinda look around for a good GSR swap around the same price... I've seen some GSR swaps with under 100k go for around the same price as LS/V-tecs but then again... i'm a GSR guy so I guess my opinion is biased

x2 and more reliable and less hassle

yea i might do that sell turbo setup and ls and buy GSR... would that be a smarter choice??
Thanks all

lovey408

if this is gonna be ur daily driven car and ur not tryin to be the fastest u can den do lsvtec or gsr... but if u want speed i say sell the lsvtec and use it to build ur D series and den throw the turbo on it and get a good tune. but be prepared for a lot of downtime if u decide turbo.. but i gurantee u one thing. once u go turbo u wnt wanna go back lol i didnt

166k miles is pretty high...if the body of your car is still good then jut get a new engine if your body of your car is bot good anymore might as well get a new car. in my opinion anyways

will do.. u think i could get one for about 1k???

em1_racer

dont really think so...gsr's arent that cheap...unless its in a bad shape...most are well over about 2g's

MDM

i have an ls i might sell and the turbo set up as well so i might get sumthing out of that!!

em1_racer

just craigslist it and buy a new head for the ls and lsv it

MDM

but an lsvtec is a pain to build.. specially when u have to drill for the oil from the block

96teggylsse

you dont have to drill any hole.... i have 96 ls vtec and i just got the golden eagle conversion kit!!!

how does that work??
where did u get it??
how much??
lol

MDM

FOUND IT!!!! now what type of pistons should i use....with feature boost plan..??
type r or b16???

MDM

bumps..
what pistons??

96teggylsse

im going to go with stock bore b16b (ctr) pistons when i rebuild they make about 12.3-1 or something like that with the gsr head.... what head are you using??? i guess it depends if you are going to go turbo or not later..... keep us posted

MDM

yea thats the thing i heard its not recommended to use ctr's since i am going to be boosting in the feature and i dont wanna change pistons later on.. i might use a b16 head so i was also thinking b16 pistons and b16 tranny! so what do you all think..b16??

mikeycivic

just buy a bare block and build it I may consider selling my setup, I have a bare b18c5 block with oil pump main caps and girdle, and brand new wiseco pistons and eagle rods for 81.5 mm bore and a polished ls crank

MDM

i have an ls block too but thanks!
so what type of pistons??
