H23 vs LS vs d16z6
 

i think my turbo d16a6 is on its way out the door now smoking from both ends, leaking fluid. and all that fun stuff. i'm looking for a new motor to turbo less than the price of a b16. goals are about 250 whp and tq on a moderate budget. what will be the best bang for the buck for safety and price out of the h23 / LS / and d16z6?

ls

It is either D16 or LS, I don't know what you're thinking with an H23, my vote is D16z6

Re:H23 vs LS vs d16z6
 

i was thinking the h23 would get me my torque goals faster than the other two.

Assuming you have a crx good luck getting the h series motor in there . The investment in the swap parts alone is in the thousands has nothing fits I know this becasue I helped dh-racing.com install there h motor in there drag crx. Ls swaps are very cheap and everywhere or b16 if you have a little more cash.

so if i have a little more money ... ls > d16z6?

Re:H23 vs LS vs d16z6
 

Yes.

Re:H23 vs LS vs d16z6
 

Yes but remeber you still have to invest in a mount kit ect which will add up so unless you have atlest 2000 throw the ls swap out the window

Re:H23 vs LS vs d16z6
 

2000 is a little out of the budget on just the motor. i guess i'll be doing the z6.

dont be discouraged by the d series. hotrex just put down 230 at 12psi on his mini me. beerbongkickass but down about the same on his z6 and its stock
