b16a or ls vtec
 

i just pikd up a 2000 si shell and was wondering what swap would be better to drop in it i got a lsvtec b18b1 with stock internals and a 99 b16 head or should i put a b16a that has ctr internals with a 89 b16 head

Was going that way jus cheking to see other peoples opinion

b16 for me

b16 all day

LsV

id go with the b16 ,only cuz the ctr internals thoe...

You fail.... the ctr motor is a B16B not a B16a buddy.... lol

lsv done right b16 if ur gonna cut corners on the lsv build

b16!

lsv stock internals not gonna last,B16 with ctr internals = gonna last

lsv

b16's are slow as fuck

Lol Explain please....

arp head studs arp rod bolts and that lsv stock internals should be just fine

I'm glad someone else thinks so...

lsv just build it right there faster than b16's stock vs stock

b16 with ctr pistons and good valvetrain and retainers will spin to 9 all day mines 9800 shit especially if you ever plan on going boost later b16s love turbos

anyone wanna race my b16? all honda motors are good

Ok there are exceptions damnit...lol My ls isn't shit, it's stock lol I was saying stock LsV vs. Stock B16.... not built lol

you dont count!!!! lol

stock internals on a LS-V is gonna be slow as fuck. Low compression LS pistons, stock head. I'd take a B16 with Type-R parts over a "stock" LS-VTEC all day.

Maybe the ones you've had.....I was running a 13 second B16 in a '98 4-dr.

stock for stock
Ls-V has more hp/tq
then a b16a

Do a b20-V more hp/tq then a Ls-V/b16
But that's all stock I mean if your gonna build a motor then yeah up to you.

i never said it was,try reading my thread agin "buddy"...;)

Try learning to spell "buddy"....;)

Again...from straight up experience:
A B16A with CTR internals will outperform a stock internal LS/VTEC (LS pistons, stock VTEC head)

If that is what you are comparing, go for the B16A.

I mean if that's the case then fuck the LsV.... The modded B16 will be better.

I like b16s and Im all for 1.6 ask my friends
but if he does the same to the ls-v ctr pistons with gsr head
the ls-v will out perform the b16...

but a stock b16a vs a stock lsv the ls-v still has more power/tq


but me id take a semi built b16 compared to a lsv anyday

I'm going off of what he stated in his original post. He stated stock internals on the LS-VTEC. I dunno why people start getting into "LS-VTEC with pistons, cams, etc"

He didn't say he was doing any of that.

ok so i have the b16 with ctr pistons i think he mite b referenceing in my garage right now and that b16 with a semi built head will make more power then a stock slapped together ls/v ive had both and a b16 ctr will def outproform the low comp ls/v
