juicesintegra Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 i have a crx with a b16.....would it be faster if i put my ls engine in it? cause my friend's brother has a hatch with the ls in it and he says its faster, i dont believe it but i dont know really much about the difference of each one.......so i was wondering if i should keep the b16 in it or put the ls in it.....or maybe (if it would be better) to put the b16 head on the ls block...what do you guys think would be the fastest setup??? and do you think that the hatch would be faster, it just has stock ls engine, intake, exhaust.....mine is crx with b16, ITR cams, intake, exhaust?

B20CivicSwap Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 wasup bro the best setup would be ls/vtec, i have a 95hb with a bone stock b20b i smoked a hb with a jdm b16 in it and we had 2 people so yea i think the torqu helps alot!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 B16 trans on B18 before you do LS/VTEC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellyeah!! Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 what is the ls engine out of? is it dohc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 I would guess it is out of an integra ls, hence him calling it an ls engine, which would also make it DOHC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juicesintegra Posted May 23, 2005 Author Share Posted May 23, 2005 B16 trans on B18 before you do LS/VTEC. what does this do? would it be better than ls/vtec? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juicesintegra Posted May 24, 2005 Author Share Posted May 24, 2005 so your saying just take out the vtec head and put the ls head on the b16 block?? ive never heard of anyone doing that....i always hear that ls vtec is really good.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 You have a B16 swap. If you want to do an LS/VTEC, then you have to use the LS block. Before you go through the expense of building a LS/VTEC properly, just put in a LS and mate it with the B16 trans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. wasup bro the best setup would be ls/vtec, i have a 95hb with a bone stock b20b i smoked a hb with a jdm b16 in it and we had 2 people so yea i think the torqu helps alot!!!!!!!!! Now this statement, doesn't mean too much. Because I have beat 03+ Rsx-S, 99-00 Civic Si's, 94+ Integra Ls, ZC powered 4 doors, Civics with Integra swaps. All I have is a b16. Yes, torque helps, because when I raced the integra, he grabbed, but he had 16s and I'm runnin on stock steelies, but at the end of second I had him. keep the b16 motor, and race the LS hatch. See whats faster. Also, Its all in the driver. I have seen a 95 Civic Dx(intake exhaust, advanced ingition timing) pull on a 99 Si. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joecollins2 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 What about for the people who plan on keeping their cars for years and don't have oodles of money to invest.... You have to think of them too (even if it's not this guys case) when tossing ideas for motors out there. From my own experience (take my advice as you may as I'm a boosted kind of guy) of people that I've had come into my shop wanting everything from parts to motors is that even some of the best built LS/VTEC frankenstein torque monsters may last only four to five years. Again, I don't know these people that well to know their everyday driving styles (i.e. beating, driving nicely, whatever). I'm not saying don't do this or that but you have to consider the future of the car as well. I bought a Supra because it's one of my favorite cars in the world. It was an impulse buy kind of. I saw it on the lot, loved it an bought it. Never having dug deep into the workings of the MKIV before. Now, I wish I had because this car's been nothing but a basket of problems. Mostly stupid petty crap but now I have two blown stock turbos. (Not bitching as it's a perfect excuse for a single conversion! ) Anyways, just do your research on the dependability of whatever it is your considering doing. A car is a major expense, just something to think about.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxscaxx Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 woah, before you go crazy with the LS VTEC idea, if you are not up to that keep the b16. the ls is definitly not faster than a b16. they pull the same until you shift into second gear, and then you will pull like hell on an ls.

I have seen a 95 Civic Dx(intake exhaust, advanced ingition timing) pull on a 99 Si. you make a good point about that its all in the driver. also, if you race someone from a stop, its all about how well you launch your car and traction. if you do not have good tires that grip, it sucks. trust me. i hated trying to race people from a stop because all i get is spin and torque steer. man, im gonna miss my little del solie :( its going to be out of my hands this monday or tuesday :( ....then the STi adventure starts.
