i have a 99 ls..its nice and all not slow not fast....but if u were me knowing wut u guys know about the si...would u trade in ur 99 ls for a 00 si? any comments welcomed on this thread...and if so wut reasons would u trade it for or not trade it for?

 

IF the Si had Low Miles and a few mods i would, if it was ELB for sure i would.

 

How many miles are on each, what kind of condition or aftermarket parts?

 

on my ls i have 70500 and the si prolly 40k...i would only trade for a stock one that i knew wasnt raced lol...wut u guys think?

 

Finding an SI that wasn't raced is IMPOSSIBLE. I always assume that every car was beat on or neglected in some way. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best (helps avoid disappointment).

 

u know thats wut attracted me to the car i have now cause i know it wasnt beat on...its a dark green integ with beige interior...everything was stock when i got it...u could tell the owner took good care of it...its still pretty flawless so it was driven for 40k miles with no hard driving ....it was pretty flawless when i bought it though pait was perfect everything....but ive found a few si's that i could tell werent raced around here...prolly the ones that younger gurls had....

 

Why not just build the LS engine. Perhaps a LSVTEC,or a nice turbo setup? I guess it really depends on how much money you want to put into the project.

 

of course i would love ls turbo or ls vtec...but their so unreliable without a really good sum of money...i drive my car alot...daily driver and depend on it to go to work everyday...thats why im kinda scarred to do that...plus its a financed car...if it was paid off i prolly wouldnt mind goin ls vtec or sumthin....thats why...im thinkin of just trading to a car that was designed for vtec or turbo ect...ive always liked the si's i almost traded for this beautifull clean as hell red one super clean....but i was lame and turned it down...it was a bad deal though....but it would be weird to go from 1.8 to 1.6....pound for pound which one would be more worth building in a n/a form?

 

oh yeah if anyone has a imagestation gallery of their 99-00 si or any kinda gallery pm me with em... thanks

 

id boost the ls before i traded for the si. Do it right and its reliable.

 

if you plan on going N/A, go with the b16 since it has vtec. that's an extra 20 hp over your ls engine. if you put some money into it, i'm sure the b16 will be much more satisfying in the end.

 

well the drag kit i want is 2800$...then i need injectors upgraded wastegate...and some kinda engine managment...ill guess thats around all together...3500$ plus installation and tuning....4000$....then i gotta baby it till i get some beefier internals its gonna come out to at least 5k to do it safe for my kinda driving...u know?

 

in an older import tuner they got 153 whp and 125 lbs of tourqe outta a si with cai/4-1/exhaust skunk 2 cams and gears and feilds vtec controller and tuned of course...thats not bad for those mods

 

wut about a stroked si?

correct me if i am wrong (which i might be) but didnt the drag kits come with injectors???and also u dunt need engine management for turbo my freind ran a 12.8 on slicks with a stock *** gsr turbo setup and not even a vafc hack. just get a s afc and tune it for ur turbo n ull rip SI's all day imma probably gonna get ripped for this but most people i knew that had an SI either sold it because they were unhappy with the power or just got sick of seeing another blue one roll by revvin at them because the STUnnaS thought they were now fast. keep the ls boost the bitch

 

yeah ive seen some stunna si's lol...im suprised with all ur answers i thought u guys would be like yeah yeah trade si's own...but u guys were honest...thats kool.damn i got took by a real type r last nite on the freeway lol

 

No, stick with the LS

 

turbo the teg and beat up on si's all day
