As you can tell im a noob. Which is better:
ls block/b16 head
ls block/gsr head
b16complete motor.
any help would be awesome

 

LSVtec with the b16 head

are you actually going to do one or are you just asking?

DD or racer?

 

Can I answer that with a daily racer?

 

^^^^^^

 

Built LS/VTEC would be nice. Just nowhere near cheap.

 

I can get a ls motor for 650 from a local junk yard what would be so expensive about an ls vtec?

Sounds like a plan. How much is the head, and an oiling system? Is that a complete swap for 650 including harness, ecu, axles, tranny, mounts, exhaust possibly?

Then you get to choose from many more turbo combinations.

Usually, the answers to your question depends on your budget/power goals.

 

I would just turbo the ls and forget about the vtec head. It'll be much easier for you and your wallet.

If you're not looking for huge power, this is the way to go.

 

YEA.. STAY ls.. buy arps and an inlinepro 2mm headgasket and boost it..

the thing about engines from junk yards.... they didnt get to a junk yard being good ya know.. u can find b18bs all over for no more then 850 with low milage and ready to go.

 

i have ob1 ls complete motor, tranny, wire harness, throttle body im lettin it go for $450 it came out of a running car! If i was goin ls vtec in my car i would get a b20 block wit a b16 head to acheive a longer stroke and a lil bit more torque rather than a b18, but dats just my 2 cents..take it easy

I vote LS block with B16 head.
