I'm new to this site and to hondas, I have always been building dsm but i sold all of them and got my self a 1998 integra gsr but with no engine and tranny. I wanted to know what engine would be the best for it not spending a lot of money and so i can turbo it too. I had been reading a little and it sound like ls engine are cheap and good for boost, just wanted to get some opinions about this from people who been doing this for a while.
Thanks

Do you know any good places to buy ls from??

 

Check some local junk yards and ask in the marketplace.
I wouldnt pay more than around 500$ or less for one.
H motors has them for 2200 plus shipping.

 

you can go to http://www.passwordjdm.com they have some good deals on ls and b20 motors which is the same as a ls but with a bigger bore 84.5mm vs the ls 81mm bore. and its a 2.0l vs 1.8l both are good for more boost. the b20 would need to be sleeved for bigger boost though as the cylinder walls are thinner

 

will b20 use the same tranny as the ls? how much boost does b20 handle stock?

I personally have never bought a motor from them but I have read nothing but good things from people who have
LS/Turbo

 

my B16 Cable trans was $300
my B18A1 block was $200
my B18C1 Head was $500

obviously there's a lot more going into it, but lsvtec is the way to go IMO in your situation starting w/ just a shell

high revving w/ low comp + boost = teh sexxxorz

though you could just use a LS trans b/c the B16 trans is a little short for boosted cars IMO.

 

ls tranny will fit plus it has a great third gear for boost!

 

lol yea for boost 3rd gear might b good bolt on motor ls 3rd gear SUCKS...and dependin where u r from to buy motor...my town has a j-spec shop right in town

 

all b series tranny's are interchangable, but the shorter the gearing the better the acceleration, N/A or turbo.

b20z=500
b16 tranny=600
turbo kit=1200-1800

 

get a ls motor or b-20 with a gsr or b16 tranny

no for boost you will want a ls tranny for the tall gears. shorter gears are best suited for n/a.

 

ls turbo if your going the boost route. b20vtec for allmotor
my all motor b20vtec will eat a ls turbo

not this argument again

 

I'd pick up a B20 and boost that living crap out of that
Although, my friends '98 GSR with bolt ons and a t3 turbo made 220whp and 230 wtq at 10 PSI. Tuned on Crome

Woo for turbo

ah this argument comes up too much on this site, that's why i said I like the LS tranny for boost, that's just my opinion....i'm not going to tell anyone it's "better" than a B16 or GSR trans....let's just not start this again please.
