What's up? Ls-v, is it worth it? I've been doing research I'm hearing Ls-v is reliable, it has both torque and hp. However, I'm hearing "if it's all that good honda wouldn't do it in the first place," and "it's shitty! (whose had an ls-v)"

I've read about a 700 hp plus ls-v (full-race civic) and i was amazed. I want all-motor setup then a stage 3-4 full-race turbo kit.

I'd perabaly get a b18c5, h22a, b18c1 but you see I got oly bout 80k on my ls n if only i had the $. Any advice would be appreciated.

 

this is one of those topics thats mostly personal opinion. i've ridden in a built all-motor ls-vtec 2nd gen integra and it pulled very hard. however a built all-motor gsr or type r would pull hard too. i didnt use to like ls-vtec, but i think now that you see more of them, and more people have built them right they are more reliable than before. i would say go for it if you have a pretty fresh ls motor already in your car. good luck.

f22/h22 vtec 2.3l great roque for n/a w/ def option to boost....run ethier a h tranny or be a balla and get a H2B kit and run a b hydro tranny...thing will def move!

and this is coming from a current boosted ls/v...runnin 9:1cr in 1857cc....the ls's stroke is nice off the line...and i cant complain about the top end efficency of the gsr head....thing just rips

 

honda did do that in the first place, look at GSR itr ECT

1.8L block (high compression) and VTEC

 

do it and do it right and it will be fine, dont go half *** with cheap parts, and dont beat on it all day and you will have a nice reliable motor. I have one btw and vtec is great

 

Read this for a reliable LS_VTEC (How to build a "reliable" lsvtec/b20vtec) search for this Great write up.

 

I have an LS/VTEC and it works amazingly.... Only thing is, I tried to cheap out in the beginning and I just had to go back a fix it because I never worked right. Now that I have the way it should be.... Making more than 300whp (with boost)
