Built LS or B18c5
I have 5 grand and want to build a rex, I was thinking of dropping a GSR in a hf, but I came across a crx on autotrader for $2,200 with a LS in it. A type R head and APEXi turbo would fit nicely, eh eh? What do you think I should do?

Re: Built LS or B18c5 (B18Jake)
LS turbo is great torque monster.
So is c5 all motor vtec in a HF that would be a mighty car.
The choice is yours!!!
both are great motors LS will pull about up to 7000RPM the type R will make power after vtec until redline.

Hey thanks, but do you think its ***** to buy a already built car? If i buy that LS I could make it fast fast. And I dont have to swap an engine and tranny, which is time i dont have. (To lazy)

And dont double post, its really sickening to have already answered your question in the other thread you started just to see it here unanswered.
Could we have a mod lock this?

B18c5 is not a normal engine?
I would get a b18c5 and leave it alone, you will run 13 easily with a c5 in a rex.

i don't consider the b18c5 a normal motor.. GSR is not worth it in an EF
GSR+ h22 are just retarded in EFs.... you get uber fast and all but it's a waste of money. GSRs are expensive in canada! freaking 3500 for 1!
BTW the c5 is the TYPE R.. the C or C1 is the GSR please learn your engine codes
mass produced engines are normal engines! ie, LS, Dseries etc etc... there are like 10 LS to every 1 GSR

Why not? Because EFs are lighter and don't 'need' the power? As far as I am concerned, this is every reason to go ahead and do a B18C swap in an EF.

He's just refering to the ridiculous prices we pay for B18C's up here in the north

Re: Built LS or B18c5 (B18Jake)
dude, change ur stock cams. throw in some crower 403's or 404's and u will make power up to and over 8000rpm which is amazing for a non-vtec, but vtec is still king. i 2nd the LS/Turbo, gobs of torque and hp, with minimal $$.
