No, unless by "converting" you mean selling the B18B and buying a B18C1.

He was wondering if you would be willing to answer them or not. That should have been obvious.

@ OP:
No, it cannot, LS/V builds are useless IMO unless you're going to boost. Very expensive too.

EDIT:
You want more power? Boost it, it'll cost you 1.5k-2.5k max if you shop right and you'll be dropping 230whp on stock internals opposed to the 120 or so you're putting down now

LS-T's ******* rock.

N/A Ls/V useless? Now I know your opinions are useless

A decent LS/V build will cost almost the same as a ITR longblock from Hmotors but make more power.

Wrong also. Build it right (not necessarily "best/most expensive" parts) and tune it right, it'll last just as long as any other B-series. My friends and I have had our frankensteins for a year+.

i think when he says this his friend had a stock block dropped a vtec head on it and it blew up when his odometer read 160k. he probably only put 2k onthe motor after he put the vtec head on and it blew up.

It is a decent amount of money I'll admit, but its not an insane price.
