no race car but i do want it fast with nice horsepower, i still want it fast got too

 

I recently picked up a da shell that i am planning on swaping a b series motor in to boost. After countless reserch and time spent talking to expierence builders and tuners ive come to decide to put and b16 in the car.sthe shorter stroke of a b16 makes it ideal to boost over a ls or b20 swap aslo being that now with demand for ls swaps being high an b16 complete swap can be purchased for less than an ls swap. it has been discussed and tested many times the b16 vs ls boost debated and ls motors have been proven to be faster at the track and b16 swap will make more power in the same trim.but inmy opinion buying a b16 swap from a warehouse for less than a ls swap is just an hands down decision and if you are unhappy with the b16 down the road a bottom end swap is much less of a headache than to start with an ls motor and tranny then attempt to source up parts for an lsv or b20 setup.in the end all three of the motors will ultimately yield the similar power at a moderate street tune trim for pump depending on wif you plan to boost the car with an ebay kit or use quality parts.there should be no reason why either motor cannot see 300hp which will create traction issues vtec or not lol so really its just a personal preference

 

nice, and yea im goin to buy a named brand turbo, im planing on makeing this DA a project car, i kno it sound weird or what idc im trying to make a magazine car looks good drives good and halls some serious ass too. But thanks for good info

 

Agreed 100%

OP, what you also wanna keep in mind is your budget, & what you plan to do with the car. Is it gonna be a DD, track/weekend warrior, or both? And most importantly, set a resonable power goal, & get a reputable tuner.

All three engines are a great platform for boost. The only one I would stray away from in its stock form is the B20, because of its integrated "siamese" style cylinder walls, which are quite thin due to its unconventional 84mm bore, which gives you less margin for error during tuning, dependent ONLY on how much power you're gonna make. But thats just me. Depending on your power goal you choose can also be a deciding factor on whether you wanna build the motor or not. Stock B series motors can handle well over 300 whp, granted the motor is healthy compression & leakdown wise. my BONE STOCK LS turbo saw 304 whp for 2 & a half years without a hiccup, sold it, and until this day, is still kicking. But BEWARE...boost is addictive! I grew tired of 304 whp, I now have a 455 whp tire shredding DA Integra with a fully built & sleeved GSR in it.

So decide on a power goal & purpose for the car, choose your parts wisely, do your research & select a turbo that matches your power needs, discuss it with your tuner & good luck. But in the end, you cant go wrong with any of the B series motors, it just all boils down to what you plan to do.

 

helll yea, yea right now i dont care about budget im going to do all the above make it dependable and fast, make it ride and look nice as hell, goin to be a project like all the old people out there (no offense) that have old school car or domestics. but awsome info, just new to it alittle so still learning you kno what i mean. But thanks

 

b series not a bad idea deff do not want to do a vtec turbo set up not good
but i would do a k24 block and a type s k20 head
and give it a good tune you will run 10.8's all day

 

damn, theres soo many engine out ther that sounds good, cant decide lol, but thanks for another idea

This is misinformation, homie...

There is absolutely noting wrong with VTEC & turbo. There are countless B16, GSR, LS/VTEC & ITR turbo setups out there, running flawlessly. In fact, a VTEC turbo setup will make more power per psi than an LS or B20 any day. So, people thats saying that in this thread, please stop.

 

OP, if budget is not a concern, then I would just do a built LS/VTEC turbo setup, or a Built GSR with an LS crank. Sleeve the block, bore it out to 84mm, & you'll have a true 2.0L, with the low to midrange grunt from the longer stroke of the LS crank, along with the high revving nature of VTEC.

You just gotta decide whats best for you. The GSR in my DA is making that power on PUMP GAS. But to be honest, my 304 whp all stock LS in my DC Integra seemed more fun on the street, because I cant get all the power from the GSR to the ground. But on the other hand, its good for when I take it to the track. Just gotta find that median, & deal with one or the other.

But B series motors are a tried & true platform, have all the aftermarket support in the world, and are reliable as hell, IF BUILT RIGHT. Just do your research, talk to some turbo gurus on this site (like me, lol.), & when you build it, make sure your tuner is on point & knows his shit. Good luck.
