Default Re: B20b vs LS MOTOR
what are your plans for the motor? turbo? that setup for both motors will have low compression no matter what one you go with. you will have between a 9:3-10:0 compression ratio if i'm not mistaken.

What do you mean what will run better? Do you mean what would make more power/longer life?

i dont think you should swap anything until you do research! you must crawl before you can walk.

i agree with this, it takes alot of research before you do a conversion like this, but however to answer your quest a b20 vtec would be the best choice IMO but thats just me. I also have a
b20 swap in my integra

B20 bottom end will benifit you for all motor/mild turbo setup... cheap way to get 2L w/o sleeving LS block.

fyi, I ran 18PSI for a short time on stock sleeves w/ block guard... then I dropped a valve, but block is/was still fine.

This because of the "hydrolocked" motor you posted about in another thread?
