I recently purchased an integra ls and would like to use it as a dd and autox once in awhile. So I have a budget of $3,500 to work with for the engine. Do you guys think I can get more power with a JRSC with bolt-ons, or should I do a straight all motor build?

 

well if ur looking for cheap power. nitrous. and superchargers are dumb and expensive. TURBO is the way to go. and you wont spend no where near 3500 expect to spend 2-3k on that.

 

Well I want some good low end power so thats why I was thinking N/A or SC.

 

NA Ls FTW!!!

 

na ls FTSlow, supercharge it!

Two very convincing arguments

 

haha, nah it really depends on what YOU want.

 

should have bought a crx to autoX but you didnt so throw a vtec head on the bitch if you want to stay na

 

boost that SOB

 

id say boost, but if you really want all motor, you can go the ls/vtec route with a diff tranny

Fun reliable dd/autox car.

 

SC w/ high boost pully and a good header and cam

 

turbo/supercharge it with lower boost level. Then spend the rest of the money upgrading peripherals ( oil cooler, radiator)

 

i'd say get a b16 head and a itr tranny

should have bought another car,

1st thing i would do is get a itr tranny, its night and day, dont bother building a n/a ls, its too expensive, go boost, but i'd recommend to get a itr tranny and spend the rest on a quality suspension then learn how to drive.

b16 tranny + good suspension + sticky tires would be an amazing difference for an autox machine.
However, I disagree with not building an n/a ls. I actually enjoy it. Granted it wont be nearly as "fast" as a boosted car, but there is something to be said for (even if you just throw pistons/cams in) in the middle of an autox no matter where you are in the rev band if you need power you have it
