2.0 LS Vtec Motor

Hey I drive a slow ass LS and I'm planning to do a major engine swap. I heard here and there about sleeving a B18 into a 2.0 liter. Is this a good platform to start off?

I'd just keep the ls and rebuild it then turbo it. Definitely will get you into the 12s with tuning and good driving, and suspension.

Re: 2.0 LS Vtec Motor

if your going to dump a lot of money into it get the 2.0 LS Vtec, lots of torque and top end. LS Vtec is hard to get runnin right though, so make sure you get someone who knows what they're doing

Re: 2.0 LS Vtec Motor

I have an LS in my 4g hatch, and I want an LS Vtec, I drove my friend's GS-R Del Sol, Vtec pulls hard, but there's no replacement for torque
