B series is over rated.

everyone gets a B series than doesnt know what to do and still needs help with the build.

you can get just as much power out of your SOHC if you build it right. turbo your SOHC and save yourself some money.

it'll be a lil bad *** monster.

Yeah, that's hard to disagree with. I don't assume you'll be taking this on the track at all, so just turbo the d-series. The LS is a good way to make a little cheap power. It's not a race motor, and really isn't built for the strain of most vtec heads.

Unless you understand the engineering behind building engines, stick to safe bets. Turbo d-series is relatively safe.

I'd advise you to put the money into something like an english class at your local comm college.

Oh goody, the people who never had a B series nor made an lsvtec are here to teach us!

What model of EF is it? This info would help. Knowing what you already have so we could help tell you whats an easy swap. Unless you have the money or friends with knowlege that can help you do it?

I am so much happy with my ls than i was with my d15b/y8 combo. More torque. Its a little more money plus LS's love boost.

Yeah what kind na ef you got? I have an crx with lsv in it, i run 13.8@102 w/65 shot and 14.3@98 all motor @ 2980 elevation (above sea level)


Lsv is the best way, if you know how to build it right.....
