OK as some of you know i just got my 95 del sol nonvtec auto.
I striped all the damaged front off and brought it to a shell.
What i wanna know is, if The ls motor ever came outo. and if it is possible to make it a vtec

Iknow lsvtec is possible cause my boy did it and it runs great but it's a 5 speed not automatic.
I put this post up in the tech forum but no one was sayin anything

AND TO ALL WHO ARE GONNA SAY **** ABOUT THIS REMMEMBER IAM ASKIN IF IT'S POSSIBLE I WANNA KNOW!
ANY HELP WOULD BE GOOD.

tHANKS TO YOU THAT WILL HELP.

 

Yes it is possible

yeah the ls came auto too. Should be possible to build an LS/Vtec with an auto trans.

 

Ok good now does any one have how to or did any one do this?

The same way you would do it to an LS with a manual trans. You don't have to do anything the the drivetrain to make the engine an LS/VTEC.

 

So I should be able to bolt this right into place after I build the lsvtec and get the hasport mounts right?

O and thanks

Yeah. Just do the ls motor swap, and then do a vtec head swap.

Also, if you decide to boost, the auto tranny will give you full boost shifts .

How reliable will this be as a daily driver do you think.
I know my ls Integra works great but it is a manuel. prtty much stock excpt for the cai.

 

you need to find an ecu that has vtec and auto tranny, thats gonna be difficult, no U.S hondas have that, GSR is all stick, LS is both but no vtec. goodluck.

 

You may not have to change the drivetrain at all to convert to ls/vtec, but you better buy a spare ls auto trans because they hate being beaten on. There was a JDM B16 auto trans, and I think you can get them pretty cheap on eBay. Thats what I'd suggest if you are going to be actually revving up into the powerband of an ls/vtec.

or you can just convert your ecu to run vtec... its not really that hard at all... or.... you can find a p28 auto ecu for the civic ex and have it chipped to run the ls vtec.. that would yet be very simple

 

I always thought there were automatic GSR's. Rare but existent.

A few of the JDM GSRs are automatic. You can probably use one of those... but again, they're rare and hard to find.

The GSR automatics are known as SIR-G. Here is a link to a thread where a dude was trying to swap a SIR-G auto into his EG.

My personal opinion, I would go with the LS swap and then do a VTEC head swap. Just my $.02.

anything is possible to be honest with you....but would u really want to spend all that money building an LS/VTEC a potential v8 killeR, with an auto...think it over...theres so much u can do with manual like more power and speed... but its your choice....jus remember its all about the builder and the driver....good luck

 

U guys are very helpfull. And from what you are tellin me I think I should just swap out my ls block and tranny into the delsol.
The only reason I was go stick w/the auto is because the gage cluster was already in automatic But i do not know if that would have mattered cause it shows the rpms whatever
Manuel then .
Thank you guys

 

sounds good..but even if u didnt have the rpm gauge, u can easily swap another gauge cluster in there. and ull be fine..or even put a jdm cluster if u like to read it in kph.

ive seen one.
they are ridiculous.

 

IMO you should just do a manual conversion, you're going to have to buy everything that would for the LS/vtec auto anyways, only you'll have to cut a hole for the shiftlinkage, and buy a couple of extra bolts, but other than that it's well worth it.

 

Yes Possible

You need to go with a b16 auto tranny for your del sol though. The integra whether its a usdm ls auto tranny or jdm gsr auto tranny will be a pain because it requires an extra 28 wires that need to be run to through the car. This is only for the integra auto trannies into the civic!!! I had a gsr motor with b16 auto tranny put in to my 94 civic and it bolted straight in with integra mounts. it was also a non vtec like yours. I ran the car with a JDM p30 ecu which comes from auto b16 civics in japn. Good luck.

I chose this route because i wanted quicker car. Rememer though, unning a auto you are still gonna be slow. Its not like having a five speed mustang gt and an auto mustang gt were there just as fast as each other.

I have been running my Auto LSVTEC setup for almost 2 years. It still runs strong and still kills many manual driven cars. The torque and HP gains with the B16 head are just sick. Build it right though don't do it half ***. Do your research before putting the head on you need a couple things for it to be right. Head gasket, Dizzy, oil line Power steering bracket...stuff like that.

 

which manual cars do you kill? geo metros. no offence, but from how i see it, the only reasons people would want a fast automatic is if you can't drive stick and are too afraid to learn manual, you have a wicked fast unstreetable drag car, or you must have a donut in your hand at all times while driving (hence the reason why cops drive autos).

hmmm. so adding a b16 head is what makes all the sick torque on an ls/vtec? whatever dude. do you blow more smoke out your *** or your 6" exhaust tip?

imo, i'd rather do a manual swap to ANY honda engine than do a custom ls/vtec automatic. i mean that is seriously retarded and your asking to get laughed at. import or domestic. rice rice baby.

 

Say all you want...I have smoked my share.

next week....
