i just have a quick question would it be better to turbo a ls engine or a gsr...i hear the oil squerters are a big help in the gsr a long with the block gridle...but some one said just stick to the ls turbo and what not ....and help here please....rebuild ls and turbo asap...or gsr turbo?

 

turboed LS/VTEC

, but if thats not an option go GSR

 

I've seen a twin turboed LS/VTEC putting down like 265hp to the wheel, at 2500rpm.

Forgot where I saw it though, but having that much power down that low is badass.

 

*smacks self in face with hammer*......personally, if i had a gsr motor to turbo, itd be turboed, but i have a low mileage ls motor, so thats getting boosted, boost the gsr if you got it.

 

They both have their upsides, but boost the gsr if possible.

 

so the ls block being weak compared to the gsr block...doesnt matter?

i hope that setup is just for ***** and giggles, sounds kinda like a waste to me.

more pain in the *** than badass......traction anyone?
or so I would imagine

 

ls turbo gets my vote

 

not to mention that if you don't properly build up the LS/VTEC in the beginning, and then add boost, you can rest assure your engine will go kaboom.

 

GSR..... Hands down Nothing more to say

 

265hp @ 2500 rpm = smoke show + wheel hop = no traction at all

 

LS/VTEC and boost or back to the question, my answer would be an boosted LS. Lower compression is always better.

 

i'd go with a boosted LS if i could do it over again. cheaper to buy than a GS-R, safer to boost.

 

B18C1

but there is nothing wrong with a boosted b18b, there is a bunch of sick setups....

 

lsvtec, you would already have the lower compression needed. just safer.

 

people still don't understand to search first

 

boost the gsr

 

of course turbo GSR

 

I've answered this question before....

I am assuming you have an LS. I think it would be cheaper to build the LS block and turbo it Vs pay for a gsr swap, pay for install, then pay for turbo...plus I am sure an LS block is easier to replace if something goes BOOM

 

personally GSR....

 

a turbo'd GSR will yield more power per boost due to vtec/better flowing head/higher comp...but i honestly hate trying to tune the overlap associated with vtec as i'm not as advanced as many people here are. hell my ls is making the same amount if not more power than many GSRs on here boost for boost, not to mention more usable torque. as for ls/vtec...i find that to be another problem if it's a daily driven car, unless you're confident in your mechanic/engine builder.

stock vs. stock GSR is probably the route to go but will cost more

built vs. built either motor is capable of creating insane power

in the end it's all a matter of preference...mine being the LS for simplicity.

you fuc king dummy, just go with the GSR turbo, LSVTEC is just not ment to be...
