wat do u guys think about the b17 for ls vtec, some guy is tying to sell it to me for 200 buck and its complete, wat do u guys think, cause i just want it for my ls vtec but if it cand handle then i dont want it. it just come with the head no tranny or block, i already have a b18a block i just need the head. but im not sure how well it will do with the block, or is it just better to go with the traditional b16 head

200 what is wrong?

That motor is rare, does he have proof it's legit?

The head is same on the b16 so yes it'll work fine for lsvtec.

 

what do you mean complete?The head or motor and eveything?

 

if it has the tranny i'll buy it for 200 just gimme a shipping quote

 

the b17 is already a vtec motor.

 

i know its v tec motor that the whole point of a ls vtec,lol. but i wanna know wat u guys think about it, it just the head with all the basic like intake manifold all the interman and so on

 

yes it legit, but i dont know if it could handle the head if u know wat i mean im gonna do all the basic but im still not sure if its worth it, or if i should just go old fashion wit the b16 head instead, im not sure. wat the difference between the b17 and the 16 im talking compression. and arnt the parts for the b17 harder to find then a b16

 

its basically a bored b16, almost no difference in the two. i dont see why you couldnt use it

 

Wrong, it's a B16a with a longer stroke

B17 has same bore as B16 (81mm) - difference is in the stroke, B17 = 81.4mm, B16 = 77.4mm

 

I think this guy means he's selling just the head for $200. Buy it!

 

so the b17 head is better then the b16 head

umm....

 

in all honesty, if it was MY engine, and doing an ls vtec, I would use a b16 head. But its w/e, its your car, your motor, your $$$. Just be happy with what you choose.

In all honesty, you have no idea what you are talking about being its same head, and gsr head is flat out better. even more so when comparing it to older b16 heads.

Smallest cams worst castings, gen1 b16s are just lame.

I will agree with your 2nd statment do what you want it's your car in the end of the day.

 

what about the dizzy? is it included or what? from what i know that the b17 comes in the 93 gsr. correct if I am wrong but it is also obd1?!

 

b17 stuff is really hard to find for 200 bucks. get it. It is a much better head than the b16. Ive seen more d16s out last the 1st gen b16!

this guy is always wrong...do not listen to him...the heads are identical

b16 head better for lsvtec than gsr? que?

 

i agree the heads are the same. I am planning on doing a ls vtec on my rex. I have a b17 head with my ls block.
