was thinking about swapping in a ls motor into my crx and turbocharging it. what are the pros and cons of it..??

 

Pros:
Fast as lightning.
300whp is possible.
Very fun!!!!
You'll kill alot of cars
Still maintain 25+ mpg

Cons:
You'll have no traction.
LS transmission (get a b16 one)
You'll go thru your tires a lot quicker.
B16 5th gear (swap in the ls 5th)

those are off the top of my head

 

what setup do you plan on running?

 

Thats way to narrow to really give much advice.

What do you want out of the car? How much $$? LS-T might be a bad way to go.

 

probably a driven every other day..not much money but working on that..just want to be somewhat fast..

That doesn't narrow it too much but it's a start
How much you thinking money wise ?
Also somewhat fast is what to you?

LS turbo has good bang for buck not best setup but not bad.

 

probably around 2g's and maybe in the high 13's

2K said and done will probbly be low if not really tight for LS swap and boost but you can do those kind of times with a well planned LS-T.

LS swap alone is pretty nice but as stated B16 tranny for it is a great upgrade.

 

lots of torque, very fun setup. And you'd be crazy to get the b16 tranny unless you like shifting every 1.5 seconds. Only get b16 tranny if your running slicks.

The sohc swaps or ZC. I don't like them as much and not as much potental as Bs but alot easier to do and cheaper.

Search on some sohc vtec turbos they scoot dirt cheap

 

thanks for the info guys..but is there a better swap out there with a tight budget??
