i don't want a turbo setup. just more headaches, and after this weekend, i need no more of those, or as few as possible.

 

Anybody who wants to dog on ls/vtec builds, just check my sig. Nuff said
(13.6 on OEM parts, full interior in an integra on street tires)

If you do end up going ls/vtec, all you will retain from your current build is: Ls block/rods/crank etc.
Using an ls tranny for an n/a application is a no no.

So baisically if I were you I would buy a shortblock & build it on the side, then purchase a tranny such as a ITR tranny & turn around & sell your complete ls swap etc....

 

they can be fast, but so can a metro. Boost = easier + cheaper + more fun.

 

I agree boost is fun. But I have yet to see boosted vehicles run good e/ts. 99% of every boosted car I see runs shitty e/ts considering the WHP they are making.
This is primarely because of the driver etc.

But I have yet to be impressed by a honda/acura daily driven street car on boost. I am sure the day will come, but you get my point....

 

i have a gs-r tranny, so i'm ok there i think.

 

Good stuff

 

uea, i was told about your setup. i'm looking at, a b16 head, .25 over ITR's and CTR cams. what about ARP Head and Rod bolts, are those required??

 

You see thats because we have tq, something you have yet to learn of


Torque + FWD = spinning. Its easy to run fast all motor because there isnt as much spinning going on.

 

I am on stock head botls and my sleeves cracked b4 the head lifted so go figure.

 

LS/VTEC's have plenty of Torque
