i currently have an lsvtec motor in my car that i cant get to run right, and have already spent more money on the motor then what i would have spent on a new car haha, so i wanna get rid of it. im thinking about either getting a stock b16a longblock (again) or possibly puttin an ls motor in it and turbo it. i have quite a few bolt ons that will work on the b16a, but ls turbo sounds like much more fun, and more pain and agony. anybody with good suggestions let me know....... thanks

 

Try the B16a all motor if you already have a lot of good parts for it. But if you want big power for less money, sell off all your bolt-ons and go for a LS motor with a turbo kit. I'm trying to go B16a all motor on my crx, but for the money it's not going to be nearly as fast as a LS motor with a turbo kit. It all depends on your budget I guess.

 

ls turbo would be more fun...but i like my b16 so much...how do turbo b16's run?

 

Go for the LS turbo...i think that youll have a WHOLE lot more fun than you would with the b16 all motor. Look at it this way...you can do the b16 all motor thing and keep up with turbo eclipses...OR you could do the LS turbo and SMOKE mustangs.

Crap... i don't want to admit it but he's right.

Or you could turbo a b18c1.... or supercharge it.

A b18c1 turbo'd with a FMIC in a crx would be VERY fun!

 

I think if you did a LS turbo 6-8psi, FMIC w/ good fuel managment, it would be fun, too.
the LS eng is a low compression to begin with. just be sure to have good supporting parts, dont cheap out on the smaller stuff.

 

what problems are having with the lsvtec setup??
i'm from severn btw...not too far from baltimore

oh and lsturbo IMO would be the best route....i'm trying to decide if I want to go LS turbo or LSVTEC....

 

burning oil really bad, which could possibly be a number of things... and just not running right, i wouldnt recommend lsvtec only because they werent meant to be together, kinda like me and my ex hahaha, but im thinkin ls turbo as well, im alittle tired of the all motor thing.... thanks for all your input everybody....

motors make me mad

why not b16a turbo? revvin high and turbo makes a good combination

 

well let me know if you do decide to part your motor....i might be interested...

 

either way its a whole other project, which i dont know if i wanna get involved again, my car sucks anyway...... rattles, leaking blah blah blah, its a 90 what should i expect, im really considering parting the thing out and puttin a stock b16 back in it, selling the car and the motor and startin all over with something new, possibly a teg gsr, i have plenty of money but not to waste on something im not gonna get anything out of.... ill let you know if im parting out soon

99b16a head
crower 403 cams
crower springs and retainers
type r intake manifold
skunk cam gears
aem intake
dc header
aem fuel rail
rc 320 injectors
bm fpr
hondata stage 3

ls block
ctr pistons
polished ls rods

all this equals lots of money, and a 14 second car
i guess keep or get rid of is the question now?????

 

sell it to me

 

what makes you think you can get a turboed motor to run right?

 

go lsturbo thats what i think im gonna go with and somone said that you could smoke mustangs. so far i dont really have anything done to my ls crx (intake,headers,exahust) and i can beat mustang 5.0's with no problem, with a turbo you should be able to hang or bet with a viper i heard a turbo on a ls in a crx with 8lbs of boost will get a 12.3 in the 1/4 and a viper runs i think a 12.4 (depending on tuning and driver)

 

you have heard horribly ******* wrong

 

those numbers seem really low...ls turbo running 8psi and hitting 12.4??? wish it was that easy....

 

werd. i heard that if you use this new high performance blinker fluid you can run 10's. (or 9's with the optional ceramic exhaust bearings.)

james

 

b16 turbo.....running low 12s will take more than slapping a turbo on a ls motor

 

who built your ls/vtec?

 

make me an offer, i have over $10000 in reciepts for what ive done so far http://www.jeimportperformance.com built the motor..........
and i didnt say i could get any motor to run right, i was just tryin to get some input from what everyone else thought i should do in this situation, but thanks for the positive feedback i appreciate it

how about a stock block ls turbo hatch running 11psi? try 12.5 @110 on street tires. this is a 92 hatch. its 93lsivic's on here. I don't think its rediculous to think you can go 12.3 in a crx ls turbo just maybe not at 8 psi

 

thats funny
