Vtec worth tuning

[xIeatcatbrainsx]

is it worth it to tune a Vtec or should i look for a acura motor to swap. I dont give a $#!t about numbers and that, i want a roller coaster fast ride. (stomach in throat)

Well what do you consider "a Vtec"? There are quite a few vtec engines, the sohc Civic engines, the dohc Integra engines (or del sol vtec and '99-'00 Si), and then there's the Prelude H22a. If you want real power, you should swap in an integra vtec engine (B18c1, B18c5, or their jdm counterparts), or the Prelude VTEC (the specific model prelude the h22a came from) engine. Even then, if you want "stomach in throat" kind of power, you'll probably need to look into some kind of forced induction. Even the sohc vtec engines can make great power with forced induction if built up. I know you don't care about numbers, but numbers do matter. Then again it depends on what you do to the engine (build it up n/a or go forced induction).

to get "stomach in throat"... i deff suggest a b18 vtec and about another 10g's of building it up..... but if you want "holy shit this car is pretty fast" then get a b18 vtec and dont build it and put a turbo on it.

What is your base car? You said "should I swap" so I assume you have a Honda right now

edit- may I throw in for your consideration the B20, the crowd favorite at my shop in Florida

um actually i was going to purchase a 95 SOHC vtec civic coupe, but it got stolen right before i went to get it. a week later, it was recovered, with no stereo, no radiator, the interior was all messed up but the dude selling it still wanted the same price, so i said, no, ill wait. so i actually dont have a civic yet...

He still wanted the same price!?!?!?!? I hope you promptly told him to fuck off and die
