why dont u just put the ls crank and rods in the gsr block? it will be basically the same as ls vtec cause u will already have the vtec head

and the reliability should be better or am i wrong?

 

B18C

 

so overall, GSR if you can afford it, but LS in a good bang for you buck. correct?

 

LS will not be as fast as a GSR

 

ls+boost equals the ultimate set up.. ls motors love boost due to there low compression.. while the b18c1 isnt so boost friendly.. all this about ls/vtec not being reliable?? it counts on how u build the motor.. if u build it wrong the motor will go BOOOm in a short while.. if you build it correctly it will run like a champ... a properly built ls/vtec will make more hp then a b18c1.. o yeah btw ls can just be as fast as a gsr just gotta have 2 thing $$$ and a good tuner who knows his sh!t.... didnt u see the sport compact mag with a 11 sec daily driven hatch powered by a b18b1 with boost??

 

isnt it easier with B16 swaps? and cheapier?

 

eh?? i dont get your question bro? easier?? all b series are a direct drop in... and shure b16s are cheaper then gsr motors but its costs more then a ls motor

 

so, while obviously the ls isn't going to be as fast as the b18c, for the price its worthwile, and when the money comes later, there's options for ls/vtec or boost. you see, i want to swap out my d16, and if i get the ls within the next few months, i will obviously have an improvement, and from there can go to vtec or run a boost. thanks guys, i think that is what i'm going to do.

 

The B18A/B crank and rods will not directly swap into a B18C block.

 

You are like most people ... magazine racer who believes everything he reads. Who said that a GSR isn't boost friendly? Ask anyone whose opinion matters a damn and they'd choose a GSR over a LS anyday. You contradict yourself. You said that the GSR isn't boost friendly then you state that, "if you build it correctly it will run like a champ" and "a good tuner who knows his sh!t." Wow, if only that GSR owner had the same opportunity to use the services of that tuner.

Then why do people choose a LS? It's cheaper to begin with and it does have lower compression. I bet you didn't know that lower compression means less power per stroke. At 'X' psi, the GSR will out accelerate the LS.

No $hit a LS can be as fast as a GSR if you got money, but since when were we talking about a built LS versus a stock GSR? In that case, a built D16Y8 will take a GSR.

Ls Turbo = Ultimate setup? haha, I don't think so. It's a good setup but not the ultimate.
