want to get a turbo kit, wondering if i should go ls/b16 heads and turbo
but these guys at work are saying you get more power from just an ls turbo...is that right?

also, i have a carbon fiber hood (bought the car a week ago) and its fading, how do you clean one cause i want to get it clear coated again...what are the steps? sorry i tried looking but they were just about waxing not getting it clear coated again.

thanks alot

 

honestly carbon fiber hoods only look good for like a month..
change it back to stock hood..
um go with a b18 turbo. thats my opinion

 

I can't speak to the carbon fiber hood issue (I have never used one). Most carbon hoods are just carbon overlay anyway. They are mostly fiberglass with carbon overlay to make it look pretty...

As far as what setup to choose, going with the VTEC head will give you more options when it comes to high end HP. VTEC is nice because it allows you to have a streetable cam profile for low RPM and high-performance high RPM profile. The best of both worlds (in theory).

I say go with the LS/VTEC.

 

so this is my first post, not a Noob just a noob to HT. (hood) most body shops won't do it, if you sand it down and put clear coat on it, it will come off a month later. Either paint it to match the car, or buy a Fiber Images hood. i've had mine for 6 yrs and looks brand new. (Head) you can put some nasty cams in the LS head and make more power than vtec. LS heads are cheaper to blow up, so run 20lbs of boost and have fun!

 

still trying to decide lol

im not keepin for more than 2 years, and im not taking the engine apart (unless i go ls/vtec) to change any internals, ill keep the stock internals either way

just want a fast teg haha

 

what cam will give you 50whp?? u actually sound like you have absolutly no idea what your talking about..

 

I was gonna let it go, but since he said something, I have to agree with him.

B18A/B = 140HP
LS/VTEC = 180 - 190 HP

 

Throw in some P30 High compression pistons and reach 200

Also if you go ls vtec, you might as welll get a B16 of GSR transmission

 

i say go boost.....cheaper in the long run if u get it tuned with some 450s+ injectors.......
