ls vtec teg

New Member
hey friends I bought a b16a motor (without tranny) so my Q is I just swap it or do a ls vtec (but my b18b run more than 200000 milesIts realy old shit ?????????what is your opinion?

thanks
 
going LSVTEC on that block without rebuilding it first is just asking for it to blow up
putting in a B16 on an LS tranny is going to suck balls... those gears are WAYYYYY to long for that little high strung engine
going LSVTEC on an LS tranny will suck slightly less... but it will still suck

sell the B16 and get another LS engine or a B20
or sell the B16 and save up some more money and get a full GSR swap
or rebuild your LS bottom end then do the LSVTEC and get a proper tranny
 
you could try that... but good luck selling an engine and tranny with over 200k on them
 
b16 gears are miserable for daily use. if its a track car, no problem.
 
thank for helping I will see the gsr trannybut I must stay will ls tranny this 2 month max with just header and twin loop muffler
 
what about itr tranny on b16a is that woth it ?

or buy itr motor with ls tran or b16 tran ?
