for those who have, or know anybody with ls-vtec, how much horespower are you getting to the wheels?
Im just wondering because i just want to see if its worth doing for me.
Also, if possible how much would it cost, & Tell me what size block you guys are using.
Thanks

 

I think it's more benefical and cost worthy to go turbo, but I dunno.

I'd like to know for sure as well.

 

just go turbo

 

LSVTEC is a very general term. Mate an LS block to a VTEC head, and you have an LSVTEC. Anything beyond that is fair game for change.

A better way to go about figuring out what course to follow with your modifications is to think about how fast you want your car to go and how much money you would like to spend.

Once you get that figured out, people can suggest setups and you can start considering your options.

 

my friends LS-Vtec (b18a mated to b16 head) CRX took an S2k... its all about how well you build it.

 

its cheaper than turbo, too btw... just my .02

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the purpose of using an LS block for the ls/vtec setup is because the ls has a longer stroke than vtec blocks. Now, I think it was insypral who taught me this, but what seems best to me is to use a GSR block and put in LS crank and rods for the longer stroke. By doing this, you dont have to do all the machine work on the LS block to make it safe for high revving.

I like ls/vtec a lot. A guy I met at the street races with ls block and a b16 head with all the goodies was claiming somewhere near 250 hp (I dont remember his exact number). His car was pretty damn quick...

 

Like I've already said about LSVTEC, there is no "it."

You could take a B16 head, slap it on your LS motor, wire up a VTEC ECU and be done.

Alternatively, you could spend 6 grand on building a completely new motor from the ground up.

Both, would be called "LSVTEC."

 

what is the advantage to having LS Vtec instead of just going with stock Vtec setup of a GSR?
