I think generally when you're trying to make more power in the first place, more power does make you instantly better.

And my comparison was between the B16 and the LS. The LS has a significantly lower CR and higher initial torque... what else could you ask for in a boost engine (and don't say VTEC or I'll punch you in the nuts).

That standing, the LS is a better boost motor than the D too.

 

What is the "LS" motor?

 

B18A or B18B. Most commonly, the 90-93 Integra LS/GS/RS motor. B18B preferrable.

 

does it have VTEC...im sure that was the dumbest question i ever asked but o well

 

no. look for a GSR (b18c1) if you want a sweet vtec engine.

 

Nope, it doesn't have vtec. B18 swap is definitely the route you want to go to boost it. I love mine. Get an ls and a turbo...

 

an LS would be sweet. itd be pretty sweet if you got someone to do an LS/VTEC conversion on here. i know there was a guy who was here every once in a while who built a sweet one...search for 'LS build for you to see' or something like that.

 

I've heard the ls/vtec conversion is a bad idea with a turbo for a d.d. They both require an external oil feed line, and at idle or stop light or w.e. your engine isnt going to be able to feed them both properly.

 

thats why i said 'get someone to build you one'. theyre a bitch to get right but theyre a sweet as hell combo if they are.

 

if you have the money go with a b16a2 swap and a turbo....

but if you want a quick hp change then get new rods and pistons and then turbo the hell out of the D

the d series can make sweet hp out of a turbo, so there is nothing wrong with a turboed d series motor
