hey guys I have a 89 si hatch w/ a b20b , obd1 converted. . im looking to either do a b20 vtec or just buy a gsr motor?? Im leaning more towards just buying a gsr. . seems a lot more simple. . what do you guys think??

 

Do whatever you want, it's your car, not ours.

 

anyone have a opinion??

 

Save yourself the headache and keep it as is, or just boost your b20, you'd make more power than either the b20vtec or gsr

 

572 BBC with a quad turbo setup.

 

wtf?? just got crvtec. you already have the b20 block, just get your self some good rods and a vtec head and call it a day. will be cheaper than gsr...

 

I can get a decent gsr motor for about 1,200. . . cost of a vtec head - 500 , golden eagle conv. kit - 250, plus rods and all that I think I would be better off going gsr? just a thought

 

these questions keep popping up more and more every week

 

Work with what you have.

Start from there.

 

For the cost of a gsr you can have yourself a vtec head, some pistons, rods, studs, barings/rings and maybe even some left over for a set of cams. Do the logical thing and build your B20. 84mm has torque, and torque = fun.

 

either way do you KNOW for a fact that a 1200 dollar gsr isn't going to be a worn out POS? vs a nice, BRAND NEW motor... idk man. even if that crvtec only lasts you a couple of years, are you really going to still be driving the SAME car ten years from now? untouched? doubtful. even people on h/t that have owned the same car for 10 years have changed things on them. tubro, all motor, b series h series blah blah blah.

my point is this. just build your b20, then save up for some nice lsd. you'll enjoy it and you'll know that something wont go wrong right after the swap (unless you mess it all up)

 

not a real fan of b20 bt this time i say jus build on the b20....

 

Build the B20. It would be on the cheap-o! If i were in your shoes, that is....i'd build it up and boost it. But hey you could go all motor too. Having that little extra displacement helps! =]

 

id deffinately build the b20 v. more torque and will feel alot quicker with vtec. i would really like to put a b20v in my rex

 

b20vtec. love it from personal experience. ive built 4 b20vtec.

b20vtec crx went 12.8 stock
b20vtec wagon went 14.0 stock
b20vtec sedan went 13.6 stock
b20vtec hatch never ran it.

 

with tha money to buy a gsr
jus build your b20 block and a vtec head and
go all motor make some good power with that baby !
my .02 cents !

 

I need a little info man , mind sending me a pm with the basic things
I need for the b20vtec?? never did a lsvtec or b20vtec before

 

pm'd

 

i wish i had money i would do a b20v also !

 

start saving!
