This may seem obvious to some people but i'm finding it to be a tough decision. I am torn between these two builds. It's obvious which one will have more power, easier. But the MiniMe build just seems like so much fun. It seems like more fun than the LSVTEC. I can't really explain why. Say you were to spend 5g's on a MiniMe vs. an LSVTEC, what kind of numbers might you end up with? I am on the brink of buying a D16A6/Z6 or an Integre LS motor so clarity on this situation would be appreciated asap.

 

LS/VTEC > MiniMe

If you have $5K why not look at a GSR swap. But is $5K and a LS/VTEC you could turbo and make some impressive numbers.

 

If you can get the parts to do LS-Vtec for cheap then go with LS-V because MiniMe is impressive and all but I owned one and I've driving LS-V also. I would do a LS-V before I waste my time with a MiniMe. Are you doing it to gain a little bit of horse power or a lot more. I wouldn't waste my time doing MiniMe when you can just buy a SI motor and drop it in for a lot less.
