Which motor to build for boost

[SpooledupRacing]

For 20g you should have gotten that 20b in there... : P

lol if you are refering to 20g in my RX7 that is total into the body, interior, engine, drive train suspension etc..

and NO I purposely did NOT want a 20b I used the cosmo 13b RE engine instead (well parts of it)

No doubt the re is a powerful engine but why are you down on the 20b?

They take much more to make them just as fast... the swap cost LOTS more

AND if it breaks (or the e-shaft breaks which they are notorious for) its like 4G's for a new eccentric shaft

so you decde on a motor for the integra?

 

[SpooledupRacing]

prolly going to go ls-V

sleeved
forged pistons (lower compression)
forged rods
oversized valves and cams
5 angle valve job
port/polish

yadda yadda

I never can seem to do anything the slow way lol.. I said 300 hp would be nice but I mean if I go turbo I will need a stand alone anyways so midas well go big or go home.

yuup. the integra FAQ at honda-tech should do you justice then. they have good information on boosting etc. and making it reliable as hell

 

[SpooledupRacing]

making it reliable as hell

THATS the main thing.

 

[Samurai_Blue]

THATS the main thing.

Ill try and find the links. If you research through our ls vtec things on CI as well as the HT ones you should be pretty well informed about ls vtec

 

[SpooledupRacing]

I guess I need an account at HT

 

[Samurai_Blue]

i have one just to do the honda market place and search. i never post. its a great resource.

 

[heykosal]

fast-reliable-cheap

choose 2.

 

[SpooledupRacing]

What is not reliable about LS-V

its not cheap when u have to buy an ENTIRE b18c1

 

[Samurai_Blue]

hes saying you have to compromise out of the 3. You can have fast and reliable but i wouldnt skimp $$ on a ls v
