Default motor question

Which would be better a LS VTEC or a built up B18A1? I never see anything like this it's always about LS VTEC or B16. Let me know thanks.

1. What type of car do you have?
2. What are you looking for as far as HP?
3. Do you want reliability?
4. Refrain from the question "which motor is better"
5. Boost or NA?
6. How much money are you willing to spend?

Have you thought about a K series swap.

I have thought about a K swap but I don't have enough money for that. Just something fairly quick and pretty reliable. I'm told if it's built right a LS VTEC can put out about 200HP. If I had a fully built B18A1 how much do you think it will probably put out or would it just be around stock. Thanks for all the input and sorry for the dumb questions

What is quick to you?? 11's, 12's 13's 14's 15's

A zippy combo is a LS engine with a b16 tranny..
Fully built as in NA, or Turbo built??

What times are you trying to achieve or what type of horsepower are you wanting to put down? &lt;----- W/o this we can't help you very much..
