Don't take this the wrong way, but you need to learn how to crawl before you can walk.

An 'ultimate motor' isn't just a checklist of things commonly done. Based on what you seem to not know, you have at minimum a couple months of researching and practice on a cheap motor before you will want to dump a few grand into a motor you could easily blow to hell before you empty the first tank of gas.


My opinion: mill only if warped, 11.5:1 max for street, light forged rods, arp headstuds, any vtec head (as long as you use gsr/ctr/aftermarket cams), and proper engine management like neptune, hondata, aem, or even uberdata/crome.

Well if you do decide to do the LS/V, there is a lot of information on this site that is helpful. Just search like most people will tell you.

But don't cheap out. Engines aren't cheap and do it right the first time.

I'm building one myself, this is my setup:

PR3 head
B18a block
AEBS Manifold
PR3 pistons
Stock LS rods
ITR camshafts
Skunk2 camgears
AEM Fuel rail
B&M FPR
DC headers
ARP Rod bolts
ARP Head studs
GSR water pump
GSR oil pump
and many more....

And building a Ls/vtec motor can get kinda complicated if you havent done it before. Im building one also and im takin in all the information i can get. Is there any tips and tricks anyone can give when buildin a Ls/vtec motor? Whether or not its N/A or Forced Induction? You know stuff to watch out?

And good luck on your build 94eg2sol
