ProjectDELSOL Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 New to the forum. Just bought a 93 Del Sol si 1.6l sohc vtec. Going to need some advice. I want to swap the motor with the best bang for my dollar. Purchased the car monday parting out everything im not using. Not trying to make a drag racer. Thinking of more of a cheaper swap b-16 or 18. Which is the easiest to swap in. I am going to purchase complete change over and doing most the work myself. Pretty much trying to plan it out right now. Suggestions??? not trying to get crazy!! I will post the preliminary pics soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TS John Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 BBS, are you NA? What setup do you run (specifics?) and what numbers do you put down? Out of curiosity... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 hes running CRVTEC i think. i say go B16A over GSR but thats just me. aint worth that much more money for 10 horse. and if you get a JDM B16A its same power as GSR minus a few ft/lbs.

BigBirdSucks Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 K20>GSR>CRVtec IMOany of those would be awesome. H22 would be sweet too haha! considering a properly built CR-VTEC would make a B18C1 and an H22 look silly...and for the price of a K20 swap, you could have a monster of a CR-VTEC... keep trying though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B20 pistons simply don't make high enough compession to use VTEC cams. then again, a CR-VTEC isn't a stock Honda motor. keep trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Ha....BBS is right. You can't list the CR-VTEC and then say that you're comparing stock motors. A basic CR-VTEC isn't even stock.......and he's right, CR-VTEC would be better than any of those and for probably about the same money as the GSR swap.

That Guy Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 i never said crvtec was stock, and not even in the same sentence. i started to type, that with the exception of a vtec head, a stock b20 would not be better. but i couldnt word it right at the time, and figured people had enough sense to know what im talking about. im comparing a basic crvtec (b20 with vtec head, nothing more) to a stock gsr or k20 and im not talking about price. plus i put IMO for this exact reason, I would take a k20 over a gsr or crvtec, and a gsr over a crvtec. but if we were talking about built motors, i would probably still go with a k20 but out of a gsr and crvtec i would rather have a crvtec. and i know BBS is right, i never said he was wrong, hes talking about well built motors, im not. and hung, im not trying to be a dik or anything at all, but about the price of crvtec swap vs a gsr swap. with the price of motor and install (everything needed) a b20 with vtec tranny, head, etc etc comes to about 3800, and a gsr swap comes to about 5200. thats everything mounts/linkage, ecu, wireing, motor, tranny, install etc etc. but thats what import power house (local shop) quoted when i asked them yesterday.

There's no such thing as a stock CR-VTEC, so they're all considered "built". Oh, and you proved my point.....not only is a CR-VTEC superior to a GSR, but for a lower cost. For the difference in money you could swap pistons and cams and a tune with hondata on the CR-VTEC and kill a stock GSR.....for the same or less money. Oh and I make my comments being bias toward the GSR (seeing as that's what I drive). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
