Civic EG

what would be the better set up like the best bang for you buck i have an ls in my hatch now and i got new ls stock pistons, i was thinking about throing them in the building the head then throwing a turbo kit on it. then i was thinking about all motor becuse my cusin has a b20vtec with would be better iam looking for 250whp pretty much somthing to beat the dub kids in my town. iam going to be racing a stock vr6 gti in about a week in my ls eg hatch who do u think shall win

just boost your LS. your not gonna get 250whp out of it going NA without extensive parts/tuning

He is correct. it will take more money to get that much power with a ls/vtec or b20/vtec.

but my bigest thing is haveing a car i could start up every day with no probs could an ls t do that with 10 psi t3/t4

Its all in how well its tuned. If your car is tuned well then it shouldn't have any issues. Going turbo will have extra oil lines that can get damaged as long as they are in a place where they wont be pulled out you should be in good shape.

Brosef, get yourself a vtec head on that b18. Torque+vtec=:D It will rip, and won't affect reliability. Then, get yourself a nitrous kit but DONT GO CRAZY. Nitrous is only bad when you get greedy. A 65-75 shot will be well over 200 whp, and will be nice to your motor. Plus, nitrous is not a constant stress on the motor, like a turbo is. Reliability/Longevity +. Then you can walk the kiddies all you want. Nitrous tip: put a switch underneath your gas pedal. Put a switch on the dash or wherever to arm the system. Then, when you mash the gas, NITROUS> and you dont have to worry about holding down a button.

or just building an ls vtec without nitrous is a good deal. Im really considering building one soon

ls boosted = win

turbo ls, good tune, and buy good parts for your kit, and get a good tune, and if you drive it on the daily just keep your foot out of it and youll be fine, and i know the last one is easier said than done...
