I have the ls swap from a integra I want it to be vtec but heard the ls swap vtec messes stuff up and how much would it be I heard a lot of money ? Would it be cheaper just to get a new intake manifold & add more stuff

I'm new on here & new to Hondas calm your shiy I been researching and get different answers

if you want to add vtec you have to do a LS-vtec. theres no other way around it.

spending $ on a manifold and other parts for a LS motor just isnt worth it to me.

if you dont have the $ to convert to LS-Vtec correctly or even swap a B16A motor then just leave it and accept your car for what it is..

having a LS swapped 96 civic is faster than most stock civics out there..


if u really want to make ur car faster, save up money and do it right.

why do people keep thinking going fast for cheap is a good idea?

kaycee_00

Because of youtube.

I don't . I don't mean cheap cheap . What's a good vtec ls conversion? & I found golden eagle for about 300 bucks but what else would I need

you havent read a single reply in this thread have you?

1ls/vtec

Golden Eagle LSV conversion kit, ARP head studs/rod bolts, B16 or GSR head, chipped p28 or p30 ecu. I highly recommend ARP rod bolts due to running higher rpm's and the rods are usually the first thing to go.

And a new timing belt if you decide to use the 19 tooth water pump.

If I didn't do the ls vtec what would you recommend me to do to the motor ?

kaycee_00

Depends on how much your trying to spend to go that little bit faster.

96civicb18a1

Not to much just a few hundred

3rdtimecharmer

i think your just waiting for someone to tell u what u want to hear because everyone has given u options and advice and what not and u just ignore it. then come up with a new question.

you only want to spend a few hundred bucks and expect to be that much "faster" good luck man.


u cant do much with a few hundred bucks to an ls. or any motor for that matter to make respectable power. yah maybe an intake and a axleback muffler? but then what, you just turned your car into another fart can ricer.
just save up your money and do it right.

kaycee_00

Just buy bolt ons. Everything else is going to be way more than you want to spend.

96civicb18a1

What kind of bolt ons
