Ok here's the deal. For about a year i have been trying to get my ish together for a B16a. But recently i have been contemplating getting a low mileage accord LS engine for the torque. now i've heard many times of people mating a VTEC head to this. I'm not sure now if i want the B16a or to try for the LS and mate it to the VTEC. I origionally wanted the B16 because i figured it would be easier to maintane apposed to a mated engine. But i really just want disgusting amounts of horses, like most people. Would this be a bad idea and how hard is it to maintain? Can you turbo this engine w/out exteme problems? I'm figuring that i'll run into lots of them anyway going that route???..... excuse me if i'm nieve on this issue, i haven't considered it untill recently. I was going to order the B16 in a few weeks but now i'm thinking again. and if i'm correct the LS is from a 90 or so.?


any suggestions?? .. yeah and i did a search..

oops.. i meant


"LS accord mated to VTEC head..."

 

LS accord??.....the LS motors come from integras....accord motors are not bseries......do some search before you do anything.....since you seem like you dont know much about motors....stick with the b16.....later on when you learn more about things you can just get a LS block and do Ls/vtec....slapping a vtec head on a stock ls block isnt recommended cuz it wont last long..you gotta build the motor.....ok...imma stop jibbering.....just do a search on Ls/vtecs or CRVtecs

 

i had a b16 in my crx. It was fun to drive and you'll like it

 

**** in my heavy si hatch I love it. Much faster than my 99 si. and it's paid for. b16a
