Ls/V isnt reliable unless built right, which takes more money than doing a gsr swap supposedly
B16 is quick, but will feel slow after a while, then regret not getting the gsr. I have a b16, i know what its like. :cry:

well, thats my $o.o2 8)

I also have a B16. I wish I had a GSR. I wanted more torque, Then I drove a buddys semibuilt GSR. That was it, I am going to be replacing my block with either a b18c or a b18b bottom end soon.

I would say go for the GSR and do it correctly the first time. To properly assemble a LSvtec it will cost more then getting a GSR.

- Fri Nov 13, 2009 10:15 am #156377 my suggestion is b16a or if you have a few extra bucks b18c spec r
the b16 revs up like crazy and with few mods such as headers and cams you wont recognize it :thumb:
and about the b18c there is no comment there a peace of mechanic art :)
