is the LS engine same as B18B1???
thanks

 

correct..c1-GSR...c5 TypeR

 

what would be the best method to go about, to get low 13s. the ls engine is vtec right?

 

the best method of going 13s is getting a turbo, or ls/vtec.

and no, your engine is not vtec

 

LS engine is non-vtec. 90-93 the engine was b18a, 94+ b18b
to get quick power in an LS i suggest turbo

 

what exactly would you need to get ls/vtec or would it be better to run turbo....cheaper and reliable. which turbo is the most recommended?

As a "noob" to the honda/acura scene. I would strongly strongly urge you to read read read read read and take in a TON of information before you start to modify your car. Learn the basics and then go beyond that. You'll save money and make far more informed decisions.

 

are you just playin or serious?


well if you are....LOW 13's thats a big goal...Best method...type R..that would be your best bet..and LS engines do not have vtec...onyl GSR and type R's do..so yeah hope you got a money tree in your backyard...

 

i dont think you ganna hit low 13's with a Turbo on an LS engine...you ganna need more then that...

 

well when i say turbo i mean, pistons and rods and cams, a nicely built up engine.

 

yes it is

 

anything is possible i guess..with the right amount of grip...just go buy a supra..TT..VVTI..you will hit low 13s in no time...

 

what is a good turbo for the ls? and where can i find pistons and rods? thanks
i would get a supra, but i am not a baller. i am 17 and buying my own car, so i think i will settle for an integra ls and build it up

??????? You can get 11's with a good LS/turbo set up what are you talking about??????????

 

Don't get ls vtec. go ls turbo. You get lower compression ratios and longer gears=perfect turbo setup.....if you have the money. Get a t3/t4 hybrid turbo setup, re-enforced rods, 5-angle job, arias pistons...etc. Perfect 13s plus motor

 

so what EXACTLY are the american models of Integra? I am confused with all this GS, LS stuff..

in Australia,
we have GSi, with the B18B / no vtec
and then VTi-R with B18C (or whatever)
and finally the Type-R which replaced the VTi-R in 1997 i think
