i have no idea what i want to do.

stage 2 cams and a tune

or

ls-v

ive heard alot of bad things about ls-v ...any help?

 

more details on the rest of your setup and i would post this in the all motor forum

 

1. You can't just throw Stg2 cams in and tune it, gotta complete the valvetrain
2. If you've heard bad things about the LS-V's, it's because they weren't built properly

My $0.02, screw cams or an LS-V. If you want a little extra, go with a low boost application and a good tune.

 

i know that, i was going to do the whole valvetrain. if i went that route.

but ls-v would be sweet and i could always boost it later.

 

Look up the definition of unreliable in the dictionary, there is a pic of an LS-Vtec with a turbo attached to it.

 

Really depends on what you're looking to get out of the car.

 

Build the ls head w/ some nice cams, and boost that torquey bitch later on.

Friend just sold a ej1 w/ a bone stock b1 w/ cams on 15lbs=366whp&330wtq...22in slicks lent a 10.6@133mph...not full interior. Just to give you an idea and car was super reliable, was on 10lbs for a yr and 15lbs for another yr after that

 

And then......

 

the new 17 yr old owner will probably blow the motor acting like a tard...i dunno man

 

Hey as long as it was good while it lasted man, new owners suck, most the time you see the car 6 months down the road at a stoplight smokin light a bia! or in the newspaper cut in half

 

I sold my b16 eg hatch and literally 2 days later the kid blew it up.

 

yeah teenagers tend to be naive. The car was tuned on e-85, part of the reason the motor has been a reliable success so far, but i can totally picture the new owner being too lazy to plan ahead to get to a place that supplies e-85 and just settling for pump gas and going out and raping the **** out of the motor. lol
