Use the search button, I'm sure this question has been asked MANY times.

If you want to do LS-V you will get more power than B16 but do it the right way, upgrade your pistons and get a GS-R or B16 head to throw on there. You'll also have to buy the LS-VTEC conversion kit, Golden Eagle makes one.

just do the B16 swap.
if your asking this question, dont do the ls-vtec. you'll screw it up.

so i could just go out and buy a b16a2 head and then buy the golden eagle ls vtec convertion kit and it would be legit? or would i have to new pistons to.
and if i did do that would it be reliable? it wouldnt blow or anything because im looking to use it as a daily driver but i also want vtec.

Your looking at spending at least a grand to do the ls vtec the right way. you can find a b16 for that price. or just save and go for the GSR

well thats true i would be spending a grand to go ls vtec so i think i might save that 1k and sell my b16a2 trans with b18b1 ls with only 92k on each for $1800 and go buy a gsr complete swap.
where is the best place to buy a gsr?
i know hmotors i can.
