i have a 94 ls integra. i have 130k on the car now. Im goin to need to do something with the engine soon. i was wondering what hp i could get out of my ls if i rebuilt it with high compression pistons, maybe bore it out, cams etc. i really dont feel like goin through the hassel of finding and dropping in a gsr engine. anybody have a built ls tell me what u have and how much u have spent on it. any thoughts and comments will help! thanks!!

 

rebulid with ls/vtec and high compression pistons

 

i dont really want to do the ls/vtec. i've heard too many things that go wrong with them. id reather build up my ls and have it be reliable

 

whats your hp or 1/4 mile goal

 

imo is not worth it building ls (all motor ) either go turbo or gsr
friend of mine had way to many problems with his ls (n/a) and spend way to much $$ and at the end went b16

 

go all motor ls.. thats my opinion or ls turbo..

 

rebuild the LS and then turbo or get a GS-R long block and then go from there.

 

the only reason i want to build up my ls is becasue i have 130k miles and want to rebuild it so i might as well build it up to go faster. i really dont want to search for a gsr then have to worry about the tranny and v-tec wiring etc.

 

you can reuse your LS tranny but the gearing is too wide. as for the wiring, it really isn't that hard. all you have to do is add 2 wires i believe if you have a LS. i wired my gs-r swap into a 94 CX civic and all i added was 3 wires. Knock sensor, VTEC solenoid and the vtec pressure switch. i think LS's came with the knock sensor though but i am not sure.

 

anyone know where i could get just the gsr engine from for a good price. anyone have any problems or know of any swaping a gsr in an ls?

yea the i would go with a GSR if you don't want to do LSVTEC.
