ok. i am in school right now. but i need something to get this 4door boat moving. i saw something online where some1 used a 90 ls block and a 90 b16 head. i am trying to get the most power i can for the dollar. would this be cool. i am plan on doing pistons and rods if i can do a cheap setup like this. anybody recommend anything.

yeah i know "you have to pay to play"
oh also any other setups that you could recommend would be nice.
trying to work with my current engine is out of the question.

 

lots of people do that, just remember if its older, its gonna be most likely beat and high mileage.

 

The setup that you're talking about is called ls/vtec.

Its not defenalty not cheap, it will cost you around 3k roughly.
Ofcouse there is no fixed price for ls/vtec becuase each setup is different.
It all depends on how you build it.

go to http://www.c-speedracing.com and than click on how-to and read their ls/vtec
section that should get you answers to your question.

if not post em up.

 

personally I wouldnt do ls/vtec if i were poor.

 

Personally, I'd do an H22 swap, beat the **** out of B-series swaps and save up for a turbo with the money I just saved.

 

I have one and I love it kills s2k's alllll day

 

I like H22's....good swap...just as good as any b series or even better....but massive torque...

lsvtec definately not a poor persons swap...

 

hell, what are some ideas of some swaps that would be ok for a person that does not want to have fix things weekly. i havent really placed a budget for myself, but i do know what i am not willing to spend. this is a daily driven car. any suggestions at all

 

Thats not a poor mans ls/vtec that is ls/vtec!

 

i am the poor man. i know that it is lsvtec, but these arent the components that someone with alot of funds would select .

 

True True. Good setup anyway. If i could do it over again I would have gone na ls/vtec insted of fi b16.
Toooooo much money to get turbo vehicles to run right when there not turbo to begin with. I say do it or ls/vtec owns yo *** and you will regret not doing it I know I do. Well not completely.
