Re: D16 vs B18
im gonna say do the LS. more torque, plus ls's are preetty common when you think about it. and as far as your power goals, i think you could def do 270whp in a stock ls with 12-15psi. at least thats what im hoping for

Only problem is the mileage on most ls motors these days. I mean a 1990 b18a1 is almost 20 years old
. Boosting a block that has beat up walls,scored pistons,worn rings well its not the brightest ideaThis is where the b20 comes in handy. They can handle up to 400 whp on race gas the walls that is from what I experinced before they start to fall apart like a hotrex manifold
Low milage healthy clean motor vs 20 year old beat up b18a1
Im going for the low mileage

Quit talking out your ***.

ITR oil pump, gsr water pump/timing belt. And it is NOT gay.

An ls all motor with flow/big cams/compression=gangster. Many ways of building cars nothing wrong with all motor/nitrous/supercharger etc. HMT is about DIY not just boost. Look at Jeff he had 2 all motor builds with write ups. That doesnt include the other hald dozen all motor builds he did and he started the damn site.
