So i just bought a '95 integra with the ls motor 125k.... I also have a wrecked 94 GSR at my house (damn drunk drivers)...tranny and engine on the GSR are in perfect shape 160k (a rebuild could be necessary)..........so i have a vtec head available if i decide to try the ls/VTEC

I have been researching the ls/VTEC for a week or so straight now (countless hours) I am still not sure how difficult the process is to set this thing up....some places i read about say you need an aluminum girdle, oil squirters, new rods and bolts, tapping and threading for the oil line etc........

should i do the VTEC conversion (seems pricy even with labor, I dont think i can convert the thing alone) or shall i build the LS motor for an all motor application with nonVTEC with all of the money I saved by not switching it to VTEC(I autocross and roadcourse, no boost comments please)

I already know all of the parts involved for the VTEC conversion, I have researched this already, I just do not know the acutal process of converting the car to VTEC (how hard is it, is it something an amateur as myself should try to do myself?) btw I have 2,000 to spend right now

yes i know boosting is cheap, but it isnt cheap if something goes wrong so I am not ready for boost yet. I will stick with all motor

thanks

 

Just swap the GSR & tranny into the car and as money permits build up/rebuild your LS for boost.

why not just build the gsr out of the car for boost and drive the ls. No point imo of swapping the motors twice.

 

Yeah, what he said ^

 

build the gsr...use the ls motor for dd.

 

n/a GSR for daily driver, cheaper to start

full on turbo build for LS, once you get more money
