I want to make my 93 LS a v-tec car and im getting the head, intake manifold, header, ecu but im not sure if theres anything else i need.

 

Water pump, timing belt, oil pump, oil lines, distributor, head gasket, etc etc.

 

so i should be good to go if I get a B16 longblock?

check out the engine swap guide on g2ic.com, it should answer some of your questions. If you are going to do lsvtec, then search here for 'lsvtec'. You should be able to find as much info as necessary from those 2 sources.

don't forget the dist. I mean you can mod the ls one but it is not perfect.

 

well now a friend of mine is selling me his GSR head intake manifold and vtec solinoid and my block is built with type-R pistons and will be able to turn 9-10 grand no problem so with a dist head gasket and ecu i should be set

 

LS-VTEC search search search... this topic has been around here so many times.....

haha.

I bet your motor doesn't last more than 5,000 miles before you spin a rod bearing at the very least. Any takers?

 

try the search button i'm sure there's plenty of info on this kinda set-up.

 

well its already been 16,000 and no problem so i think im good

Elaborate on your "built block", if you will. 16,000 miles of 9 or 10,000 RPM shifts isn't something many LS blocks can handle, built or not.

It's just a matter of time until something lets go.

No offense, but it doesn't sound like you've researched this much, and a person with limited knowledge attempting to build an ls/vtec is a recipe for disaster.

Good luck.

 

Unless you have changed your crank, rods, pistons, etc your going to drop a rod or something. 10K takes some work even on a b18c motor.

 

lsvtec page
maybe that should be a sticky

 

its fukin vtec, not v-tech, or vtech, or v-tec, its VTEC!!!

 

yeah the crank and everything was redone but im not saying im going to turn 10k
