From what i learned, a ture ls vtec is ls internals in a vtec bottom end. i am putting ls internals into a b16a1 bottom end, with my choice of pistons, my question will i have a problem with clearence with the b16 having a shorter deck height then say the ls blcok if i were to run jdm b16 psiton or even itr pistions thanks

 

no matter what pistons you use they will stick out of the deck in a B16 block. A truel LSVTEC is LS internals in a B18c block.

I guess a 'true' LS-VTEC is what you want it to be. But as far as I am concerned, a true LS-VTEC uses an LS block. After all, that was the whole original idea of the concept - to build a 1.8 liter VTEC motor without the expense of any P72 parts. If you put it in a P72 block, then you just have a GSR/ITR/Poor man's ITR running an LS crank.

 

yea it might be a poor, but its ture ls vtec, but a ls rod and crank combo will give u like 1.899.... displacement, where as the a gsr, and type-r is only 1.7..., and a b16 is 1.5..... correct me if i am wrong but its as close to a 2 liter, without a new block, and has the ability to rev to 8000 82000. but just my out look or opinion

 

b16 is 1.6
b18 is 1.8

notice the 16 and the 18

 

B16A = 1595cc
B18A/B18B/LS-VTEC = 1834cc
B18C = 1797cc
B20B/B20Z = 1972cc.

 

what i am really concerned with now is can i run the ls internals in the b16 bottomend with out problems, or should i find a gsr block?
