swap question ls/vtec
I already have a manual transmission. Im pretty sure that I can get a jdm b16a longblock from an automatic and use it with my manual tranny right? Would i need to do anything? Also, can I get a vtec head off a automatic b16a and use it for ls/vtec?
Im pretty sure its yes but want to make sure. Thanks.

Yes, auto b16 head will work for LS/VTEC. You might want to upgrade the cams, valve springs, and retainers though.

Yeah a b16 harness will already have the knock sensor on it, while the d16 ones will have to have it installed. B18 harnesses will work too.

Re: swap question ls/vtec (Dark_Sol)
will the ls harness work for ls/vtec? if manually hook up the vtec or something?
Should I just buy a complete vtec wiring harness?

The LS harness can be used, but vtec will have to be wired, oil pressure switch, solenoid, knock sensor. For like $20-$30 more you can get a dohc vtec harness with everything needed.
