i currently have a b16a in a crx, and i want more power, i know that LS's are great with vtec so i want to know how much power to the wheels do you guys think i will get.
please post numbers
i am hoping to get between 150-155whp

 

that is assuming the motor is stock

 

your hopes will be fullfiled. do a search. i belive ive seen 160s to 170s with cai, header, exuast. etc.

 

sweet man thanks , cause thats what i got, but putting the stock block would but worst case,cause i want to do pistons and rods. but what else do i need??? oil pump? water pump? bearings?? do i really need all those???

 

upgraded rod bolts is what alot of people recommend. Check out ARP for that.

All depends on how high you want to rev. If you are planning on going to 9500 like everyone these days wants to then yes. I would assume that the stock stuff would be good to 7800, as the LS stuff isn't designed to go higher. Everyone then goes and gets either b16, GSR or type R stuff to fulfill their requirements.

 

stock lsvtec

I guess he means bone stock b18a/b block and bone stock dohc vtec head..Ive seen around 150-160hp with chipped ecu's and bolt-ons..and around 120-130 tq assuming the motor is in good condition..

But I recommend getting atleast arp rod bolts and a vtec oil pump.

That hardly quailfies as stock and being we can't be sure if its a gen 1 b16 head or a CTR head and the many other vairbles in a "stock" lsvtec.

150-160 yea on a b16 head b18 block bare bones setup.

I just find it silly to call it stock unless you can give a part # for an lsvtec it's not stock in my eyes.

 

Yeah ,,you're right because I made 190hp on my old lsvtec using all "stock" honda parts..Besides the rod bolts and header..

I wasn't trying to be a dick, I just don't see it as a stock motor whatso ever even made with honda parts.

190hp is a great # out of all stock I hope mine will put out like that

I spent hours with a die grinder to get that number while still using oem parts..
