for people who are looking to swap a motor in their honda. here's some word of advice.i had a stock ls motor in a hatch and have raced many hatch's with b16's and gsr motors. have only lost to the gsr with mods on it barely..... im just saying for the $1000 to $1500 extra you pay for vtec, its not worth it. you are just buying the name.

 

fuck a vtec....

non-vtec turbo!!!

 

i have a b16 hatch and i have never lost to an ls hatch...ill even give them the kick

 

ummm, no its not........

 

what do you have done to the b16?

 

id have to say ....EXACTLY.........ls motors compared to any b series vtec motor is just not that amazing, now you put a turbo on that and itll be a different story, cause i can take out b16 hatches in my heavy ass turbo integra, hell ive taken out a b16 turbo hatch in my teg, it was close, but i beat him by 3 tenths, he beat me to the 60 foot box, but after i hit 3rd it was over for him.....and shit cant forget tuckers cars taking out a 92 gsr turbo hatch,haha, that was comedy right there, i felt bad for the guy with that hatchback.........wont mention any names.......

 

my motor is stock, itr intake, b16 jdm tranny , act clutch, greddy header....stock exhaust

 

VTEC was never anything special, its just a timeing thing, nothing big, just the new ricers think cuz it says vtec it must be fast, oh well.

 

im glad type-rs are non vtec

 

hey i never said that vtec cant produce alot of power. im just saying that its not as good as everyone portrays it as.. i know the type r motor is probably one of the best motors honda has made....but how much is it gonna cost? at least 5 grand for the swap... i got my ls swap for 1100 and if i put 4000 more on the motor and tranny, then itll blow the type r out the water.
