well my baby was stolen a couple weeks back, they toke the engine now i'm debateing on what i should put in, show i go with the same set up as i had before jdm b18c R(mods are in sig) or go with a LS/Vtec, bored b18a block to 2.0, crower rods, je pistons, gsr head, etc. no turbo, cause i want an all motor setup....well what do you guys think? which one is faster by the way?

 

I dont know about the ls/vtec...But I like those R motors

 

I like my ls/vtec setup it runs hard and with that 2.0 ls/vtec that you want that should run nice but if you go 2.o are you gonna sleeve the block?

 

also need the girdle for your non vtec block right?

 

If you do the ls/vtec do it right or you will regret it . My friend sure did. Dumb *** tried to rev it to 9500 with a stock bottom end.

 

with those kind of setups(both of your cars) you should be able to decide what you want. Did you just get those motors as crate packages or bought the cars fixed up already??? Thats what it seems like. for all motor you will probably want the high compression of the b18cR. how come your sig says b18c? and if you HAD a jdm b18cR why change out the pistons to 11:5:1 when you could have had 11:4:1 w/ just a mugen headgasket. btw, its header. (no "S")

 

no it was crate packages nor was the car fixed up already. cause i wanted stronger internals thats why i changed the pistons.

 

go for the usdm b18c5

or i guess the jdm b18c could work jus as well, if not better

I say b18c5. You can always upgrade to a toda valvetrain later on.

 

hahahahahahahaha....your friend has some *****

 

I ll tell you first hand that building an ls/vtec is a pain in the *** and a lot of work!
But is defeinetly well worth it!
If you want to take the easy way out and probally cheaper way out go with the b18c R
