The only problem with the LS engine is the god damn tranny that sux for N/A application. Get a GSR for a good set up. The 3rd and 4th gear of the LS is too long.
I believe the 1.8 non-vtec is as powerfull as the 1.6 dohc vtec.....with the same gearing. Maybe on the freeway, the 1.6 vtec will have a bit more of top end power but is it worth it? When you can have a torque monster with a fully built B18B or a B20Z? I love torque what can i do? :lol: maybe i should of get a stang :/
But like Tk said, i'm a leader, and i'm stubburn. :lol: I wanna go fast with a non-vtec engine.
All you need is a good tranny with close ratio. I suggest the 94 and up GSr tranny cause its not as close as the type R or the SiR tranny, so you won't rev the @#%$ out of your engine on the freeway.
Get some crower stuff for the B18B, they work, crower makes good stuff, and they have an excellent service.
I'm building my B18B too...but i have my secrets too
I'll let you know when everything will be done by this summer.
Lets show them we don't need the VTEC to go fast
