hey i was wonder, what do u guys think....a mildly built ls/v with ITR pistons(jdm) eagle forged rods.....with a b16a2 head.or a poormans's R with b18c1 block with ctr pistons&rods....with a b16 hea with ITR cams?...which one would be more reliable? and which one would have more power?

 

i would go w/ the poor mans type r, more reliable, i have a poor mans type r and i love it

 

the only reason why i went ls/vtec is because at that time i didnt have enough money for a b18c1 block.. when my b16 blew i wanted to put togother something fast and i had a b18a block laying in my garage and said what the hell.. ls/vtec is great if built right, and makes a little more power than the poor mans type r but with a b18c1 block you would be worry free in terms of how high to rev safley (reliablity) if you have a b18c1, i say go with that

 

i'd go with poorman's type r as well... more reliable @ high revs... i like to rev my engine high so that's my preference...

 

If built right my vote goes to the ls/vtec... But whatever you do dont half *** anything you will end up paying for it.

 

w00t w00t you know what im going to say...
