Ben. Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I'm obviously lacking in the engine department and I wanna' change that without having to do a swap. It's very evident that for this engine to make power in N/A trim I'm going to have to get a VTEC head of some sort, unless you guys have a better idea? A guy I know got some sort of crower cams in his LS Integra as well as a couple of other bolt on's and his sh*t straight WALKS away from mine. I was thinking something along the lines of CP Pistons at 12.5ish maybe lower and Eagle or Pauter rods. ACL rod bearings and sleeving the block unless any of you here don't think that's a necessity with an N/A setup. Any boring of the block that should occur? I'd probably go with a Pro-Series Skunk2 IM or Performer X from Edelbrock. Upsize the TB to something mildly larger than stock, and a whale penis intake unless I'm told to keep my AEM V1 for the build. Not sure as to what I'd do about a header. Side note -- I intend on going to a b16 tranny for closer gears..this LS sh*t has got to go. Basically..for anyone who comes in.. chime in with what YOU would do with an LS-VTEC setup that was shooting for around 205 or 210 at the wheels.

Kegger Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Nothing to critique... But throw in some 350 injectors. And an AN-R compact header... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 I love those damn header's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_agu28 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Those headers do look nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick B. Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 dude. it will probly be cheaper and more practical to just do a swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 Dunno. People around here and down south want WAY too f*cking much for a GSR swap. I was considering an H but I'm still iffy about the internals on those motors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick B. Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 if i still had my jdm b18c i would have sold it to you for 1500 plus shipping. you want me to find one out here for you? you could always search the internetz. the h22 isnt bad. the internal problem can always be worked out. and its a great way to start out with 200hp.

Ben. Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 I mean I've searched the net.. Like anyone, I'm hesitant about buying from someone I've never met, rather than buying from somewhere like HMotorsonline. The idea of a swap is always there.

Ben. Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 Yea I'm a f*cking idiot. I cannot believe I'd forgotten I'm already utilizing an OBD1 b-series setup.. If I want H2B .. I've got half of what I need. :lol: B18C longblocks go for 1699 lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lceah Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 you covered a lot here...so going with h2b? I would go with a 4-2-1 with a long end...to get more peak and also more midrange power... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 ideally I'd like H2B.. I've seen some explosive little setups and I wouldn't mind giving it a whirl myself. Though, realistically I'm looking more toward boosted B-series lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick B. Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 youre killin me smalls. make up your mind! a boosted h2b wouldnt be bad. then again, you can make a pretty nasty boosted ls with what you have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 Well.. Put it like this. I'm focusing on N/A. Boosted B-series would be an easy way out to make power. LS-VTEC would be easy to do as I've got over one half the sh*t needed to make the conversion. I could build the vtec head before I even put it on. The block would be another story. Whereas, the H22 situation would be a bit more costly..as I'd need the H2B adapter as well as the block. Not to mention the H-series is a little dark to me. I don't know MUCH about it at all.

lceah Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 when you got this car, you said you miiight boost it until it blows and then do a swap! is that a possibility still? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 I'd run it once and it'd probably fry. It's got 217K on the odometer. I dunno if it's ever had a rebuild. It runs decent for that amount of mileage on the car..so I'd assume so. If I were to go LS-VTEC I'd rebuild the bottom end. However, I'm looking for opinions on internals.. Cranny likes Clevite bearings..other's like ACL. I actually have ACL rod bearings in my possession. Shoot. I even have CTR pistons chilling in the shed I need to sell lol.

lceah Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 use the ACL rod bearings and sell the CTR's and buy different pistons and then do the build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 I don't think I could use them in my motor anyway. Someone was talking about the actual piston height or something being too high or something. I can't remember. Was a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lceah Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 then sell those and get other ones? hm...are there a lot of good deals there? if not, I would so search here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 Yea .. just priced Bisimoto's H2B adaptor.. 1260 shipped. 1260 goes a long way in an N/A build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lceah Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 woa...that's crazy! nvm then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 It's $911 bucks for just the adaptor plate without any mounts, apparently. Disregard all take of an h-series setup from here on out. It's as the thread title was created. Back on topic, no more daydreaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delsol209 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 yea lsv would be ur best bet as in cost wise cause you do have all the essentials for that that build minus the head and pistons, so wats wrong with your ctr pistons? well lsv would be the way to go but thats just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Didn't read the whole thread so don't know if it's been said.... Don't get the whale penis. It's not great on power...especially in the low end. Get an AEM ITR intake. It's 3" diameter and makes a lot more power than any other intake (most/all others for an LS will be 2.5" diameter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 I've never even heard of the ITR intake. I had a 3" Injen short ram intake on the car that made the engine uber loud under WOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lceah Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 and about the TB, Rick told me that Dan (90integraC1) had problems when he got the 70mm...so get smaller! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
