ok everyone here is a little background. i am currently in the market for a crx and i am trying to plan my build while shopping for one. i want to go ls/vtec. my question is, is this motor best na or is it better with boost.

 

My question is: whats better, vanilla or chocolate ice cream?

 

ok so in other words it can go either way. just whatever my personal preference is. i am really seeking advice.

 

No, in other words it's personal preference. Turbo will always have the ability to make more power, just due to the nature of physics. But that's not what some people want.

If you want advice, you need to ask very specific questions with details. How fast do you want to go, what kind of budget do you have, do you have any parts already that you're starting off with as a base, is emissions testing a concern, etc. etc.

 

ok sorry bout that. no parts yet. there is a guy in my area who is selling a ls block and another who is selling a gsr head. this is what i am doing my research off of. just i have been looked at like a retard for even suggesting putting a turbo on a ls/vtec. inspection is not an issue. hp i was thinking somewhere in the ball park of 225-250. this is going to be a slow parts build up because i am going to iraq in october so there is no hurry. i am just trying to get some info so i can build my parts list while i am there.

 

250 wont happen on a NA 1.8 liter. 225 is something a pro engine builder could get you. It sounds like you might be better served by going the Turbo route.

 

ok thanks. i appreciate it.

 

dont go sit in iraq and spend all your emminent danger pay on 20 year old honda parts, and spend your internet time on honda-tech. just words of advice from someone who has been there....3 times.

 

hey man appreciate the advice. i am not spending this deployments money on whatever honda i buy. this is the last installment of my bonus. plus last deplyment i was in a line platoon with no time on my hands, this time i am on staff and i am going to complete my bas while i am there as well. thank you. i got that advice last deployment from my squad leader and i didnt listen and got home and totalled the car i spent all my money on and didnt get half of what i put into it from insurance.
