Gsi power mods anyone?

when you say 'i'm kinda poor atm' i assume u don't have much cash flow going but ur not stingy with ur car.

in that case best thing i could recommend is to get a job or another one!

cars are not cheap hobbies and just having the occasional DIY's and building up ur car with a lil elbow grease and a lot of hopes and dreams will get u no where except leave u constantly thinking of what to do next cuz ur never satisfied.

time and time again people say it over and over but i'll say it again
if your going to do it, do it properly.

otherwise u'd waste more money trying to correct ur past mistakes.

Cheers guys... i got a noob question here as ive never really got around 2 researching the differences between VTEC n gsi motors...

If i were 2 get a LS/VTEC conversion done... is it possible 2 put say a b18c head on my standard gsi block? What sort of benefits or power gains am i looking at n how much approximately am i looking at 4 a VTEC head n ECU(im assuming i'll need 1)?

Also, what r the major differences (if any) between the two blocks?

others that have done them will ad further..

But you will need a vtec ECU for starters, a LSVTEC oil supply kit, some how get the correct compresion( thinner gasket maybe).

and im sure theres a few other issues mods that have to be done to block head in order to put them together properly...
Im pretty sure the oil feeds to the head are an issue with a nonvtec block..

At the end of the day it will take more time and money to do than a 6-7psi DIY turbo kit, and performance wise will yield better bang for buck...

u want vtec buy a vtec teg or civic..
Want power from a B18A/B boost it...

You can use either a B18c or B16a head, each have their own benefits but in the end it really doesnt matter. Would cost you roughly $1500 for complete head, gaskets, VTEC conversion kit, etc Also there is no need to replace your ECU if its OBD1 you can just chip it to run a different map. Powerwise a LSVTEC should be making similar power and torque to a B18c.

just turbo. no point staying NA in a GSI imo.
