ls:vtec/b16???

[-S Double C-]

I was told by Mike (VtecKidd) that LS/VTECs' are unreliable & that you can't rev them like you can a B16. Yes you will have more torque because of the displacement but your not going to have as much top end power, IMO. When I had my B16 I probably would've taken most LS/VTECs' out there (stock ones)

i dont know what the hell is up with my b16 but i took down a all motor ls hatch and gsr hatch, b17 hatch and a ls/vtec hatch last friday...

I cant believe i missed this thread lol.

STOCK LS vtec vs STOCK B16, it depends what you want.

B16s can rev higher and much more reliably than an LS vtec with stock rods. Your talking about a 8500rpm redline vs a 7800rpm redline (if you want it to last)

LSVTEC will make more TQ, however at the cost of revability.

What tranny are you going to use? that makes a huge difference as well. if oyu end up using a LS tranny, then i would choose a B16 HANDS DOWN. if you are going to use a b16 tranny, then the lsvtec would be fun.

i personally like the GSR head. it bumps compression, and is a better design IMO than the b16 head. i like quench pads (sorry speedminded )

If you have to choose between a STOCK LSVTEC and a STOCK B16, i would do a B16 IMO. much more fun motor to drive. less likely hood of blowing up as well.

LSVTECs can be reliable, but i don reccomend them unless you are building them. i would rather get a GSR block , more power, and you can rev it out.

and remember, i have a b20Vtec
