?????????help

 

[Vicious]

what kind of block long block or short block? oh you might wanna put this in the engine section

 

[Vicious]

oh and this is the most important thing of all research before you try to even build an engine ok

 

[LowNotSlow]

and if you have a D engine now you're going to need a B series tranny.

 

[Blazed]

axles..shift linkage..mounts..

 

[disxpnoi]

umm its a long block, wanna keep it auto..its cheaper right?

 

[Vicious]

ok why did you mention you wanted to keep it auto and to be honest manuals are cheaper

 

[LowNotSlow]

if you have a D series tranny, then you will need to find another tranny. The LS auto is a piece of s**t though, and there's no point in spending the money if you're going to f**k it over with an auto tranny. People swap out of auto D's just to get a damn manual and you're looking for an auto LS-vtec, it's counter intuitive.

so there aren o benifetts from swapping from d to b even if its still auto?. Much less power but much cheaper.
please give more information

auto ls/vtec? ......why?

 

[LowNotSlow]

when spending the cash to upgrade a motor, it makes no sense to hobble the more powerful motor with an auto. And like I said, LS auto's are horrible.

It's like getting a turbo, but running only 3lbs of boost. Yeah you'll have more power, but why the f**k would you do it?

As for being cheaper, he's going to have a better chance of finding a high quality B manual than finding a good LS auto.

 

[BlackHopeDC5]

but the ls is considerably faster(still slow but faster) than the y7 even if they are both auto. To swap auto to auto you wouldnt see considerable difference?

 

[LowNotSlow]

my roomate in college had an LS auto and my Y8 auto schooled him. Granted there's a weight difference, but the LS tranny just isn't made for any get-up-and-go whatsoever.

It will be faster than the auto Y7 but why spend money on being BARELY faster than a D?

 

[disxpnoi]

ok well i thought it would be faster due to electronic shifting..but i guess not..i mean manual will be great too, i just thought i'd save money and get the same/ close power with auto..thats cool tho. Thanks for the help yall..no auto ls/vtec!
ls vtec>> So what else should i get, i mean whats the best things to get first for building a motor. u know so far i only have the block. What should i get first second etc..so on

5.?

auto is shyt...
u just floor it and kill ur tranny...
with manual ur tranny can take much more beating...

and i wouldn't say stick is cheaper..
for the swaps that we are interested in..stick is more expensive than auto...

haha...i raced my boy with his auto rsx the other day..took him all 3 times by a car...from a stop..
he got me from a roll one time though...
and he's packing the k20a3..i might be wrong on the number..the em2 motor just auto...
and i have/had a POS dx...

i hope that naswers ur question about a y7 vs auto ls... 8)
