im going to rebuild my LS motor anyone know if it would be cheaper to find another motor or just rebuild that one I want it to be faster than the stock LS so any Ideas?

 

What do you mean by faster? Are you going full stock or aftermarket?

 

Im wanting to go ahead and beef up the motor while its apart.

 

If you want to have a quicker LS engine then you have a few options to consider.

-Tranny - have you considered getting an sir/gsr/itr transmssion? that right off the bat will help you put power down quicker then the long gearing in the ls tranny.

-Lighten rotating assembly - a lighter flywheel will help acceleration, also throw in a lighten crank pulley(such as the ctr n1) or a factory ls-crank pulley with the PS/AC shaved off to keep the harmonic balancing on the peice.

-Internals - you can do the bottom end with usdm/jdm b16 pistons which will bump up the compression, but to make use of the CR upgrade, you should consider getting some lumpy cams to make power.
Getting valve springs/retainers and a set of crower non-vtec b18b cams will do you some good.

-I/H/E - Intake/Header/Exhaust combination can give you some more power thats being restricet by the 1.75" factory exhaust. I'm running a b18b with a fresh stock rebuild, with a 2.5" collector/high flow cat and 2.5" exhaust piping and it's just good for now till I put in some more money into the engine. 2.5" or 2.25" will do fine for an exhaust setup


good luck with the build
