I am doing my ls vtech swap this weekend and I have a b16 head on b18b block, anyways I have all the wiring down and computer info that i needed but what other things do I need, if any? I have the golden eagle kit as well.

 

It's VTEC...its not a phone. :-)

I'm assuming you have the entire conversion kit?

If so, you should be okay, did you already tap the block for the oil line?

 

No I haven't, I have a friend coming this weekend to help out with doing the swap. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

 

Wow Im stupid (Vtech) I cant believe I did that. lol

 

arent you supposed to tap the HEAD and then install the plug to block of the oil, the feed line for the head in a Golden Eagle kit comes from the sandwich plate for the oil filter. then then oil feed line goes into the head in the stock hole by the distributor. that is of course after removing the stock allen key plug.

 

oh okay so because of the golden eagle kit their is no need to tap the block because the sandwich plate has a spot for the oil line connection...Is that correct? Thanks

 

correct. the GE kit comes with everything. there are i believe two holes on the sandwich plate for like a turbo feed oil line, or an oil pressure gauge etc. and then a bigger hole which is for the feed line to the head.

 

golden eagle is expesive. i did my conversion for like $40. just get the sandwich plate online and get the oil line at local shop with connectors. and also if your using b18b block, you should get pistons with that. dont run ls pistons.compressiion is too low. get something like itr or b16. you should also resurface the head make sure its flat so you dont get any leaks. good luck

 

Man that sucks, I ordered the golden eagle kit already, Thanks for the info on the pistons and the resurfacing.

 

it doesnt suck. GE is good ****. and as for anything internal wise it all depends on yoor plans. are you gonna go boost or build it up NA. and make sure the first thing you do after your done putting the ls/vtec together is get a good tune. and dont rev past 7500rpm unless you ugrade your rod bolts. ls rod bolts dont like being reved any higher then what they were intended to.

 

and how could you have possibly done the conversion the right way for $40, when a head gasket itself costs just about $40

 

Reused HG FTW. Just use some copper spray.

 

yea cause thats a great idea. reusing a head gasket AND copper spray. great combination

 

Yes, you are...lol. I'm sorry, rushing to work. Thanks for catching that. And GE kit is definitely the way to go. The cheap way is the WRONG way, and ends up being the more expensive way.

 

You know after looking into LS Vtec, its alot more work than I thought. I thought you can just bolt on the b16 head and get the conversion kit and ur done, but after talking with a few people theirs alot more than that. Can someone give me a complete LS Vtec swap that they did or a list of all the parts ill need from pistons and rods to cams to even a piggy back computer to get it tuned after, I just want to get a full list of products and price it out, so i know what Im really getting into. I have a 1994 Integra LS getting the new LS swap this weekend. Thanks

 

search! there is a How to thread on building ls/b20vtec motors on here

 

^ I have searched and read the whole ls/vtec converison write up, however, there is some what of a dispute, some say to use the LS Head gasket, most say use the Vtec head gasket, what is your poison ?

 

In case you didn't catch it, my post was meant to be sarcastic

 

When I built mine I used an LS headgasket. Make sure when you tap and plug the head, the plug is flush with the bottom of the head, or even a little inset in the head.

 

ls/vtec conversion kit, injector's, fuel regulator,type r manifold or any other after market,ctr,itr,gsr,b16 piston's,type r oil pump/ water pump,knock sensor tap,arp rod bolt's & head stud's im sure im missing some other stuff

 

okay so im also doing a conversion on my 2000 integra you dont need the oil pump unless your going turbo or supeercharged im having bestway autosports help me with it you dont need any other after market,ctr,itr,gsr,b16 piston's,type r oil pump/ water pump thats just extra goodies but it is way more power if you do that tho no disrespect.

 

The stock injectors and fuel pressure regulator are fine for a mild build. And the ITR/GSR/LS oil pumps are the same.

 

well im also doin one to but i still need to get an obd2 b16 distributor so if you guys know of anyone who has one they want to get rid of let me know

no disrespect to anyone but you dont have to go and tune it if you buy a stock ecu from a gsr or itr but if you get like vafc you will have lots of ajustability
