B18C1>B20Z. That just me though. Basically cuz the C1 has more hp. Though the Z has a bit more torque, it only revs up up 6000rpm. Good thing about the Z is that you can use your LS tranny. Which means that the cost of the swap is cheaper than the C1. The level of difficulty is about the same. In the end, it's up to you.

1.the z revs to 7100......just like the b1.
2.im upgrading the tranny to a jdm gsr tranny with lsd.
3.the hp isnt really a big deal. i like corners....the engine doesnt have to be that fast.

I just looked it up. Redline is 6900rpm. Well whatever, I feel you man! Corners > Straights right? I think you should go for it! You gonna stay non-VTEC?

the b20 is torque the only thing nice about it to me is that higher gears such as 4 pulls harder than on a b18c1.... my buddy swapped a b20z in his teg and it was as quick as a GS-R but he had a type r LSD tranny....

well with the setup i have in my ls...i walk gsrs all the time.....although i had my ass handed to me about 2 months ago by a friend of mine.

i plan on taking everything off my ls and puttin it on b20z.



and anyone who has rode in my car knows this.

B20 is not worth it man, the little bit of top end your ls has will be lost gaining minimal torque. If your comparing it to a C1 thats like comparing a civic to a nsx.

All I have to say is think of Joes b20 EF sedan....yum. I personally want a b20z/vtec. But b20z is practically impossible to find,and one of the selling points is the p8r head,wich I would ditch anyway,lol.

GSRs can be fun, I really like the way crzy-azns pulls,makes me want a GSR bad, but I do like some torque.

Besides,weren't you the one giving me a hard time whe I was I was thinking about a stock GSR swap...hmm...
