Im trying to decide which platform would be a better long term build.. ive done tons of research on both platforms, but my question is which one is better suited for nitrous??

I have a ls/vtec setup right now minus rotating assembly and crank. sold while back..

82mm b18b1 block
b16 head milled. larger intake valves. type r valvetrain. portmatched p30 intake manifold. custom race header.

not complete but could be for about the price of a h22 longblock and the qsd kit...

i have a direct port wet nitrous setup that i want to start using.. do a small 50 or 75shot for awhile before upgrading the jets..

so for 1800, you can get a h22 longblock and the qsd kit..

or for around that same price i can get forged wiseco 13:1 pistons, eagle rods, eagle crank.

but if something goes wrong on the ls/v it could be game over.. whereas if something happens to the h2b once its in.. a new longblock is only a grand..

im leaning towards the h2b but at the same time i already have the ls/v..

any opinions would be great..

 

Lsv is so 2009 lol, step up to a big block

 

My buddy has a lsv about the same setup as your planning and he will get some gsr's. now take a bone stock h2b swap and you will get all gsr's. If your going to dp h2b definitly qsd evo is just for show and you'll but a clutch a month.

 

It is quite plain and simple if choosing for the long run. There's no replacement for displacement. My father told me this a kid and it still hold water today, whether NA or FI.

It is why the LS/VTEC was stumbled upon, more displacement.

Bore spacing FTW.

 

thanks for the insight... you guys pretty much nailed it, "theres no room for displacement." Now to sell the ls/vtec and get a h22..

 

good luck
