LS1 or 20B?? which one???
these are 2 similar but different Master pieces, I wanna hear which one you like better as well as pro and cons etc etc (I haven't decide which way to go in the near future) any input is appreciated.
PS I hope motorstilling and angeljoelv don't mind me using their build threads
and mods feel free to erase or move it if its innapropiate

20b.
if you're going to radically change this vehicle, at least keep it somewhat in line with it's pedigree and drop a rotary in there.

whatever one you decide on you will probably be thinking about the other. so since im a nice guy put one in your car and ill let you put the other in mine

20B. If i had to do it all over again i would go 20B every time. I do respect ls swaps and its a fact theres a lot of potential in them, but in my opinion RX's should be rotaries. And no, i dont mind. But put a newer pic please..

Ls engines swaps are in everything---bmw's mercedes, s2000, porsche 968 and 944's etc, etc.
Its a really good engine.
However if anyone is going to spend this kind of money and time on an engine conversion---go with something special. Go with the 20B. I bet you will never regret it.
Everytime to fire it up you will be glad you did it. Everytime you drive it --you will be glad you did.
Not much uniqueness left in the automotive industry.

It all really depends on how much money you got. Lot's of people here say 20b, but 90% of them will never really be able to afford one. The overall cost to swap one in with a turbo to create the power your probably want is like 3x more than a ls swap.
Overall if it was a practicality thing, LSx swap all day. But if you want to be "cool" and got plenty of cash 20b then. But then you could do even better. **** the turbo and go 26b NA. Lmao
