Which Do You Prefer?

this thread is nothing but a whoring session between mike and Worshp if u ask me LOL

The LS VTEC would have alittle more power but would cost so much mroe money and time. SO if time and money are no option then go with the LS VTEC, but if youre like the rest of us and dont have a crap load of money, then go with the GSR engine. If I had enough money for an LS VTEC I would buy the GSR and buuild the heck out of it. Thatd spank the crap out of an LS VTEC in the same car. I vote GSR.

Please, inform me of how a ls/vtec, or cr/vtec can cost more than a $3100 b18c swap?

Also, people say an ls/vtec hybrid motor is hard to build? Okay....

well, i guess the parts would probably cost about the same. The thing that will cost a lot of money is building the engine. Since the LS Block isnt made for vtec, I think he'd have to drill an oil line. Plus I dont know many people that do LS VTEC's very often, so he'd prolly have to find someone to install it. And you know theyre gonna rape him on the price. And if he finds someone to build it cheap then they more than likely wont know what theyre doing and its gonna be real unreliable and he's gonna have to fix it constantly.

You dont even have to drill an oil line in the block.

ls/vtec is not an expensive process, compared to a b18c

Ok back to the topic. I would chose the gsr motor cause of reliability. I dont care about ls v-tec or cr v-tec even if its built right theres a break down period for them. If its daily driven u gotta tear it down and rebuild it . It depends how much u drive it i guess. Gsr is a perfect swap. You have the torque and the high end power.


OK now this Kid shouldn't get banned just because cracked on Moppies mom. Freedom of speech!!!!!!!!!


Hes a noob so help him not to make fun of him.

Isn't the B20Z out of the newer (before K20s) CRVs a VTEC head?

Nope.

Thanks for clarifying.

how did I manage to miss all this glorious glorious action? Damnit!!!!!
Guess it was because I was getting f'ed up last night at the club!! Yeah!
Anyway, the LSVTEC is not a good motor combination for what we (WP?civichb and I) have heard locally. The rod to stroke ratio is awful for high RPM use causing the rings to be destroyed by side loading forces with the cylinder wall at high RPM's. Also, the oil pump on an LS block begins to cavitate after about 7200 rpm, meaning NO OIL PRESSURE, which....isn't good. The LSVTEC is over-rated in my opinion. Sure it makes good power but for how long? And is it worth the troubles? Out of the two, I would choose GSR because it is designed to do what it does. With a few mods, nothing will touch a 4th gen with a GSR swap.
Now, me knowing what I know about WP?civichb I would reccomend a SOHC VTEC swap realizing what is soon to become. It is about...oh, $2500 cheaper than the GSR and it will give you adequate power and then you can spend the other $2500 on a PHAT turbo/supercharger/NOS setup, your choice. Of course, with that, you could also sling in some nice rods, pistons, and blockguard to boot and hold more boost.
Don't hate, just my $.02
