Ls/b20 vtec or Poor mans type r

[TheChosenOne]

LS2nerIf you want it to be a more reliable b20 or LS/vtec then use a GSR head. If you wanna keep it relatively stock then do a poor man's type r. With the pmtr you use the type r mani, throttle body, cams, valve train, etc...Which makes for a decent set-up stock. If you have any intentions of building it then just do the ls/vtec and get the power you will really be wanting.

What are you talking about???

How in the world do you consider, a gsr block and a b16 head with a typr r vavle train stock? Poor man's type r would be the most expensive setup out of all of them imo.

Im confused now?

Stock, because it is all OEM Honda Parts. PR3 head, B18c block, ITR cams/valvetrain. No aftermarket parts for it. BUT IF YOU WANT TO DO AFTERMARKET CAMS/VALVETRAIN then it doesn't really matter. IF you really want to get creative get a K24 from a CRV, run a K20A3 ivtec head from an EP3 si. It would be a torque monster motor, great for a four door Teg. Plus it would leave you room for much more in upgrades and potential. The CRV K24 and the EP3 Si head are relatively inexpensive to get and would be fun plus different and probably wouldn't cost much more if any than doing a Poor man's type R or a good LS/VTEC

And yes i agree, a k20/24 would be a damn good idea.

The only thing about that, is the fact that I think your forgetting the price of the tranny... . yyyaaaaaa..... lol. Now matter what I do, as far as b-series go, i'll already have a tranny, but if i go k-series, then i gotta drop all that kash on a freakin' transmission!

Well, I got the car now, and I got a little something-something that im working on that might turn a few heads. Unless anyone has a suggestion on how to swap a k in a 90' DB1 for less than $2,500, then I would say.... STAY TUNED!

99si basically covered what i meant. And i consider the poor mans type r stock, because you use stock OEM parts. Its makes for a decent set-up using OEM parts...where as a Stock (OEM) LS/vtec makes a lil less power than it. If he intends to use aftermarket parts (valvetrain, rotating assembly, etc.) then he might aswell build an LS/Vtec and get more power. If you start putting aftermarket shit in a poor mans type r than it isnt really a type r anymore, which unless im wrong defeats the purpose of building a poor mans type r.
