Which motor to build for boost

[SpooledupRacing]

Well What I mean is I wont skimp as far as quality goes.. I will just shop wisely and check with ALL my suppliers before I buy something.

You can be fast and reliable. Or reliable and cheap. Or cheap and fast. You can't be all three.

If you can get a B18C1 cheap go for it. If not, do LS/V. The only differences between the block are VTEC oiling and oil squirters.

Once you build it with all new internals the rest doesn't matter. For example, don't buy a C5 if all you're going to do is replace all the internals.

That is basically what I wanted to hear because I plan to do EXACTLY that..

oh and hp I would like 300 if possible I want it streetable (A MUST), I don't need it to be crazy fast but with nice tires I would like a 11/12 sec pass and be comp for anyone on the block.

and for a 11/12 sec pass in a full interior dc you gonna need more than 300 hp . maybe close to 400 for 11 sec pass bossted almost 300 hp dc's are doing 13's

LS vtec cant be cheap and reliable im sorry but i disagree, but the cheap fast and reliable wont work in all applications, just most. dont get me wrong i totally agree with you its just in the case of ls vtec i dont see it working.

b20 vtec NA is a 14.4 second car in AZ, thats low 13's in california. its all about the launch

Generally LS/VTEC is considered less reliable because of all the external oil lines and such, but once again it depends on how it's built. I'd go with GSR to be honest.

 

[SpooledupRacing]

well if I can find a gsr bottom for decent I will do that

actually the b18c1 also has a crank girdle for added bottom end stability that the b18b1 doesnt have. not a deal breaker one way or the other though. either one will be reliable.

on slicks a 300whp integra can def get into the low 12's possibly high 11's.

on low boost on my car my very first time ever going down the track i went 12.4 at 112.

Go with the LS/VTEC since you've already got the LS motor.

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

Agreed.

BTW I only have like 3G's into my engine.. I would have had more into a 20b WAY more to do it to the same caliber my engine is at



OK another question..


LS turbo or gsr ITB high compression?

Turbo
