alright well i know turbo isnt just bolt and play there is more to it than that... but from what i know it is harder to turbo a vtech motor... correct me if im wrong but i was going to get a b16a2 but then i wanted to go turbo and thaught it would slightly easier to turbo a ls... sure there is better motors out ther but im on a budget... and you guys dont have to be all *** holes i posted on here to learn it not because i knew it...

explain to me your logic of why an ls is easier to turbo then a b16. i personally think both would be difficult for you, learn some more before jumping into turbo

Come on guys cut him a little slack, we all were no0bs at one time.
Look bro, all engines are just as easy to turbo.
Some work better with a turbo.
Click on the big red button called "search"
And get to learning.
If you have any questions PM me and i will help, without all the flaming.

how much are you working with?

a good site to get ur swap from is http://www.htmotorsonline.com
although everytime u get a swap u need to replace alot of the parts, i learned that the hard way... so whatever u pay for a swap expect to pay more...
