I have a 89 si hatch with a b20b. . . I finally decided its either gunna be boosted or b20vtec. . . I am leaning more towards b20vtec. . .my car is already converted to obd1 . . has full race trac . bar set up also. . .but heres my thing going with the vtec head. . .wouldnt I just be better off dropping a gsr motor in the car??? I would be around the same price range. . im not looking to build the bottom end whether I go boost or b20vtec. . . any input??? I have all the money just dont know what direction to go . I know im going to make more power with boost. . but I would only be running maybe 10psi MAX. . . Thanks

I have read over that thread numerous times . . .very good info . . but im looking to see which way is a better route to go . . .boost or b20vtec

 

boost that thing!

 

Better? ****, just do what YOU really want. Who are we to tell you
what is better? Two completely different things man.

 

it seems you can never ask for any ones opinion without getting that answer. . . I understand they are 2 different things. . .and I know it's up to me . . . im just asking for OPINIONS . Thanks though

 

I know I should . . . I will go with Ebay everything besides getting a Tial 38

 

boost for the money its way better. b20vtec is cool tons of torque but if u are not gonna build the bottom end on b20vtec it will only last 6 months tops from my experience.

but my real opinion is boost it with a nice t3/t4 like turbonetics and boost it to 10psi and have it tuned by a good tuner and it will last u a long time .
you should see about 250whp+- which is more then enough for a daily driver.

hope my info helps if u want more info pm me.

 

definitely boost... all motor just isnt the best way to spend your money imo

 

BOOOSTTTT!!!!!

I am only running frankenstien all motor because it fell from the sky and on to my lap.
But if I had the money boost all day!

 

I'd say do a B20vtec, just make sure you change the oil pump and it'll last. Then if you feel like you need more after that boost it. Your in a ef so a b20v would feel nice in a light weight car, then like i said if you need more thow a turbo on it.

 

...BOOST!!!

 

boost first then vtec later
