Is there anything better than a type r engine to put in my 1998 rs or is it better to just rebuild with 160,000 km, even though it may not be worth it. i just wanted to get some horse power flowing through this thing. any suggestions.

 

Very broad question, but I'll try to make this as simplified as possible. A Type R is going to net you the most power for a completely stock engine. It's far cheaper to just rebuild what you've got, but it's only going to refresh the engine.

Check <U>this</U> out.

 

if you got the cash flow you could do a k20r

 

basically what i want to know is should i swap engines and build from there or should rebuild my non vtech

 

how much money do you have to spend and what are your goals

 

i originally wanted an eclipse 2g with a big 16g turbo, i ended up getting an integra and its good probably more reliable, i want my integra to eventually be even or better than that. money wise if i can i wanted to build slowly maybe 2000-3000$ not sure yet, i dont want to unload my whole bank acount all at once.

 

I would just turbo the LS,just make sure you do a compression and leak down test before you attempt to boost it though...with 2.5k you could get a nice turbo kit from the sponsers marketplace then throw a walbro255 fuel pump,bigger injectors,chipped ecu,and hondata s300....with a good tune you could easily push 300-350whp on the stock bottom end

 

oo sweet i have an rs is it same ****??? is this worth doing with no vtech, does it matter. if i wanted to go further with it could I, should i start off with a chip and intake? im clueless were to start off.

yes its the same motor,no dont start with a chip and intake if your going to boost it....you really need to read up on some stuff...go to forced induction forum and read the faq then if you have any ?'s report back
