I resent that statement , the b16a is a great engine (their are some that have been built up to make 200whp on stock internals) most ls/vtec conversions don't last long becuase people cheap out on the conversion. Although with the amount of money spent on the ls/vtec conversion (a proper conversion) you can get a good ls turbo kit, and will be much faster . (Or just a GSR Longblock from the start.)

 

b16's are cheap , and best bang for the buck , ls vtec's make good power and are reliable if built right , comparing an ls vtec and a b16 are like comparing a single cam and a big block . of course the ls vtec is going to be better as long as its built right , jsut my .02

i hydro-locked my b16 so my bottom end is basicly trash.so thats why i might go with this.i have the b16 head and other parts just need bottom end and some one to put it all in,that knows what they are doing!.......jay from jnlimports mite do the work,how is he?

 

since you got a b16 block, look for an ls crank, and bore the cyclinder wall to 82mm, if not dmgd, and you have a b16 with torque.

 

I didnt know b16 and tourque could be in the same sentance

But seriously , if u want to keep the b16 , have the block sleeved to 84mm and rebuilt with high comp pistons ( 11-1 , 12-1 ) somethin like that , if u want to keep all moto.

jsut my .02

jay is okay. just dont go cheap on it like jay did. hes got a rod knock again.

 

it is going to be alot of money and time but well worth it. good luck
