[mpaired_7126]

somtime in the near future i wanna swap my d16y7 outta me ek hatch.
i already did my research but was wondering what other ppls opinions were and whats good for boosting.

b18b? or b18c?

if b18b, its vtec vs. non vtec....

Out of all of them I would choose a GSR b18c

EDIT: you could choose both, actually. LS/Vtec-t

I personally like my b16.. but if I had to start my build over again I would have spent the extra 200 bucks and got a b18c?..

either way there both a big upgrade from a D-series

nice. now i research or tried to about ls/vtec. i always get these bullshit sites.
what exactly is ls/vtec?is it like a frankenstien motor or sum s**t like that?

 

[obracer12]

its an ls block with a vtec head... mostly done with a b20/b16 or b18 head.. the idea is to build torque with the ls bottom end and build hp with the vtec head.. worth it if you build it right.. talk to mugenkid.. or whatever his name is now.. I think it may be billy.. not sure.. if you wanna go that route he built a ls/vtec turbo that is still running so he did something right lol
