Right now i havet he block in my sig, looking to build another block to run 300whp daily, and hold 400+ (dont know when that number will stop going up). My next motor will be fully built, but running on pump gas as it will still be a daily driver and will be driven almost every day of the week.

With respects to getting that kind of HP out of a non vtec im looking to get the head ported. Can anyone reccomend a place I can get a good porting done at, but not something over the top? In no way will the car be a 700whp track queen on c16. So i guess i dont really need a agressive port, just something to help the non vtec head flow a little better.

 

You have probably heard this already but a stock vtec head will outflow a ported ls head for a lot less money.You will have less rocker problems and more rpm potential with the vtec head.

 

yes i heard it time and time again, i dont want a vtec head. At this time i want to go non vtec until i learn more about the swap then i might consider lsvtec since it will be a built block

So something like a stock b16 or gsr head flows better than a ported ls head?

SEARCH..you will learn more about the swap by searching.

if thats true ive always wondered this... can you put ls cams into a b16 head? if so then could you just put a b16 head on a ls block and not do the wiring so no "vtec" but just have a good flowing head?

 

Then I would save the money for the port work until you want more than 400 hp and go with the vtec head.I can port my own ls head and i wouldn't spend the time.There are just too many reasons that make the vtec head is better choice.

You can't use ls cams in a vtec head,but a ls/vtec setup is not hard to do.It's been done a few times.

stock b16 head killing a ......LS with a race valve job

 

What are the ballpark figures when getting an ls head ported compared to a b16?I am just wondering what the difference would be in the two heads?

intake valve size is the main difference. 33mm for the B16 valves. 31mm for the LS valves.

 

Well that explains the big difference in flow but does the size of the valves affect the price of the p&p?

it shouldn't affect the price if one head has larger valves.

also the port shape of the B16 head is larger/diffrent from the LS head which is why it flows so much better in the upper rpm/valve lift area's.
