i have an ef and i have a b16a1 in it right now. i want it to be a freeway runner and fast on 1/4 mile. it is also my dailly driver. wut do u guys think i should go with? is lsvtec more reliable than b20vtec?

 

a poormans type R is better than ls/vtec or b20/vtec.... my .02

 

WERD TYPE R


VIVA H22A1

 

poormans type r is a b16 head on a gsr block...

 

yup

 

hahah i dont think he knows that...hahah nah well i just had a b20vtec and i picked up a gsr block yesterday...we'll see how that goes

 

I have a crv-tec in my 88hb and before the tranny went out I drove it about 100 miles a day ( long drive to work ) and still out ran v8 cars at the drag strip. thats my .02

 

ls/vtec..... sounds like you will be doing lots of revving which is better for the ls than the b20...

nah i wouldn't worry too much about revving....i take my b20vtec to 9000 everytime i race....which is a lot...the bottom end is stock....i know people will say im an idiot but nothing has happened to it YET *knocks on wood*.....its up to you if you want to chance it thats all.....but the vtec blocks do rev a lot higher and better

 

any ls/vtec b20/vtec is not what you would call reliable.... but i really dont think it matters. i did LS cuz i got the entire car for 800 bucks

 

i have lsv and it is considerable fast, b20v will just give u more torque, if thats what u want then b20, but lsv better then b20vtec,

If you added pistons, rods, and bigger rod bolts then yes there very very reliable.

They will both be reliable if built properly. You want a good freeway and 1/4 mi car? Your best bet would be a B16 tranny with an LS 5th gear, with whichever motor you decide to build.
