EF LS Swap Questions

ludeboy · Post by **ludeboy** » Thu Feb 22, 2007 4:20 pm

Seriously thinking about 3 different options. This is my daily driver so I am weary of too much downtime.

1. LS Swap
2. ZC Swap
3. Mini Me

I am pretty familiar with Hondas in general. I have owned 2 Ef's and an 85 Prelude. Have loved them all. My current Hatch will need headwork within a year as its startin to burn oil.

What I am not familiar with is the acceleration of each of the options. I would be willing to swap rides with anyone that has any of these engine swaps with a ride in my 12 second stang.

If anyone can tell from experience which will be quicker and possible gas mileage that would help a lot as well.

Thanks,

depends on goals... I'd personally vote LS, it gets you to b-series, and LS engines are everywhere.

i would go with the ls, with the mini me you might have to burn 93 octane because of the compression you might be running. also the zcs are rare and some parts could be hard to find, and ls motor are good for boosting when stock
and you dont have to use 93 octane so it would be cheaper on gas

The ZC would be the best bang for your buck, and they are stronger than any other dseries so boost would not be a problem.
