which is best motor boosted??

[flaresniper]

i have a 93 del sol with a jackson racing supercharger on it, Uberdata, and dsm injectors. when the d15 bottem end goes capute, im going to do a motor swap, either a d16y8, or a b18 gs-r swap or a b18 ls with a b16 head on it. i was wondering which setups would be best for:
a. fully built (ported heads, upgraded valves and springs, forged internals, upgraded cam, sleeved block)
b. stock everything.
c. cost efficient

gsr puts out real good numbers stock form with boost. 10 psi roughly 280-330 WHP

^^^ agreed a gsr would probly be your best bet. good for drag but still capable for autox

gsr.but it wont be cheap.

cheap and reliable?psh.
cheap and powerfull?psh.
powerfull and reliable?$$$$$

 

[bmyers4321]

ya very true.

 

[flaresniper]

gsr is about what, 2800, 3000?

 

[stealthy]

3200 complete swap from hmotors,250 for shipping.

...and then installation if he doesn't know what he's doing.

Can't go wrong with an LS motor. Excellent compression ratio, cheap as hell, and dime a dozen.

ditto. i would say got gsr for the best results but again it ain't cheap unlike the y8.

any d16 is your best bet. all the power you can handle without some susp upgrades.

 

[Svr_Civic]

might as well go big while ur goin..save money and go for the gsr..thats the route im takin when my sprayin takes a hold of my d16...lol

If I am reading his thread right he already has the Supercharger for a d-series motor and he said when the motor he has now goes out he is going to do a swap. If you are going to keep the supercharger you are gonna have to get a d-series motor so the Supercharger will fit. I am pretty sure that the Supercharger you have now won't fit a b-series motor. So then you will have to get another setup. Either sell your system you have now and start over or have one fast d-series supercharged motor.

non vtec is a better bet for forced induction - much easier to tune... look at dyno's of vtec motors with forced induction... hard to keep them spiking everwhere (especially above 5600) find a b20 and a mean turbo.... i don't know why more people don't do that swap???

 

[deaconwagers]

because b20's aren't that stoutly built. ls turbo is the way to go

 

[rey_boricua]

ls if you go non vtec anf gsr if you want vtec

 

[Grendel]

gsr puts out real good numbers stock form with boost. 10 psi roughly 280-330 WHP

with a good tune this can be done.

I agree running a gsr motor is the best bet really for fi or na. Stout motor proven to make power.

i like LS motors. put out good torque and midrange esp. i used to be a big non vtec buff but when you want high revs and high HP its ll bout hittin up VTEC motors

Its not as much of the vtec system as the head flow and atleast on a low boost setup I was working on a buddies car that wasn't Xing over but boosting still nicer then LS turbo.

LS all motor seems to be getting trendy god knows why.

of course vtec heads flow better,vtec is just another kick in the nuts on top of the better flowing head.how do you think they rev so high and nicely?on a shitty head?i think not
