Hey everyone i just wanted to clear this up.... I am new to the honda scene and planning to build a ls motor for turbo. Since i am going turbo is it giong to help or hurt me if i put a say b16 head? I know this might have been covered but i search and this seems to be to general question for the search thing. Oh and i have a EK hatch which i just bought. Previous cars 97 TT Supra 99 C43 and 91 MR2 (NA). Anyways as you can see i have no experience with hondas and this is going to be my race car. And my goal is the most power so Daily driving is not my worry.

Thanks in advance

 

It'll help but I say screw it. LS TUrbo is plenty. If you're building it just build it to handle like 16 psi. Who needs vtec when you have boooooost

 

I plan more than 16psi buddy!!! But i just wanted to know why some people went vtec and some people just go full LS... Anymore comments???

 

If you'll gonna be building it and have the money why not just do built gsr? I know kids with stock gsrs on 8 psi goin 13.1. Jerry Gardella with a fully built gsr goes 8.40 but hes pushing over 1000 to the wheels

 

go vtec if you have a vtec motor...

since your boosting it keep it a straight LS....dont complicate things more by throwing a vtec head on your LS...

 

Man there are some many diff. routes you can go. I think you need figure out how far you want to go in speed terms and how reliable you want it to be. If you want vtec go with a gsr motor.....I know ls/vtecs can be nice and all but if you plan on spending alot of money by a gsr block and sleeve it. If you want to just go with the ls do it lots of people are making lots of power and running outstanding times with the motor. I myself love ls motor the cheap and have lots of potential.

 

just go full LS setup w/turbo. as long as you have ported and polished the head, valve jobs, valve train, and turbo cams....you can make just as much power as a vtec motor with less complications.

 

Dude, my friends car doesn't have vtech and he gets walked by like NEONs and ****.

hahahahaha funnystuff

 

well what is the better platform to go? I am so confused by seeing all these different setups. My goal is just power. Dont really care about driveability. But i have been warned about teh reliability of the ls vtec. So my options are either full ls or gsr huh? Well what do you guys reccomend. keep in mind i want the most power i can get.. i am used to 400+ as my supra is very strong bpu. So please give some opinions or examples!!! Thanks!

 

Just Go GSR and have best of both worlds manm you sound like you have the money. GSR, engine mods, Turbo = Likey

thanks frost that is what i plan on doing now. Gsr bottom built with maybe itr or b16 head. Because i heard the b16 head is almost like the type r one.

Thanks
