I am planning a turbo buil and trying to start lying down on paper what ima use…but im having a problem starting…i dont know if i should go LSV turbo or B16 turbo…my goals are 350-450 HP. now i know the B16 would be a fun build do to high reving, but wont i get the same high reving if on the LSV build i used a b16 head? just want some input on which would be a better build. also would i be able to bore out the b18b for the lsv build to a 2.0 sleeve it and have more displacement = more HP?
help
any help will be gladly appreciated…thanx
I would go with LSV turbo, you will get more power out of it, However, you will want to make sure its built properly…A non turbo LSV built shitty doesn’t last… let alone a turbo LSV.
B16 turbo is fast too though :o
LSV-t ftw
i’d stick with whatever motor you have, either one will get you to your 350 mark
you will get the same high revving power IF you change the pistons and rods out of the ls block. Swap the rods and pistons for some gsr, b16,ctr, or itr rods and pistons or you can expect a rod to fly out the side of the block. To properly build an lsv you NEED to change them cuz vtec still doesnt kick in till 5500 and full potential isnt till about 8k.
thanx
good input from everyone thanks…but as far as building the motor goes i was thinking of aftermarket forged pistons most likely arias or eagle or JE as well as the rods, and also sleeved block and all that.
