Ok guys, after doin a little research on the site and others i've decided to build an LS VTEC. I know there are several different ways to build them. (parts wise) So i'd like to know how much power you guys have gotten outa the build and with what parts. I may even turbo it later down the road so all you turbo LSV guys are welcome too, just let me know if its turbo or not. Thanks guys!

 

Complete VTEC head B16 or GS-R, VTEC oil pump, VTEC water pump, new timing belt, new MLS head gasket, ARP head studs, all wiring modifications, a VTEC ECU (P30 or P72) is what i would start out with and get it tuned afterwords if u do it yourself

 

How much of a difference would some Crower 403 or 404 cams and and Skunk2 IM make? I wanna get into the 13s on motor with my 4Dr! I know... I know. But it would be awesome to whoop some *** in sedan!

 

you should get into the 13s no problem if u have all of that and tuned perfect are you gonna install the swap or have a shop do it?

 

Unless I get really brave, a shop. But I dunno if I trust anybody around here to do anything like that. Oh, the last time I ran my car it had the stock B18B with 150k miles on it and ran a 16.6. I couldnt get a good launch cause of the 14" bald tires. But what do you think I would run with a new JDM B18B w/CAI, catback, and good 17" tires?

 

15s also when u do ls vtec make sure you have a great alarm sytem in i just got broken in 3 weeks ago everything is fixed now they stole my intake, spark plugs and wires, fried my ecu somehow, blew my fuses, screwed my ignition, steering column dash pieces haha it was horrible but everything is fixed setting up for ls vtec myself got some more aftermarket parts on there way

 

Cool. So where did you get your motor from and how much did you pay? Have you ravn your car yet?

 

im not sure where my dad ordered it from i have a 2001 b18b with 40k miles on it ported polished head, act clutch, alluminum flywheel, headers and exhaust on its way now along with lowering springs.... but im not sure what i would run ill go to the track in spring after ls vtec is done

 

Cool, you'll have to let me know what you run. You'll probably have your conversion before mine.

 

ya im gonna have kazien speed do mine and do hondata s300 ill keep u posted here is a pic of my car now

 

Nice, I like the black on black! I'll get a pic on here tomorrow. Mine is White with black wheels. What brand and size are your wheels and how much did you pay?

 

well my dads friend owns a buisness got rims tires moutned and balanced for 800... motegi rims and toyo tires 17s and yours sounds sweet i love white and black cars

 

I help a frient put together his LS-Vtec set up. Consisted of:

B16 head
B16 tranny
ITR oil pump, ITR water pump, GSR timing belt
CTR pistons
OEM rings
Eagle rods
Omni power valve springs and retainer
Micropolished, chamfered crank
balance rotating assembly
Buddy club 4 cams
Blox IM
68mm TB
RC 310 injectors
few more misc things, i forgot,
Tuned with Hondata, with almost every single ounce of power squeezed out of it. Revved to 9.5k. I wasnt there for the dyno. but i was told that it made 211whp. He hasnt gone to the track yet. but he's hoping to run high 12's. All this was done under $3000

 

Good deal especially with Toyos! I got mine and mounted and ballanced for $600. APR Wheels and Firehawk WideOval tires

 

haha better deal then me haha nice snag so whats all done to ur integra right now?

 

AEM CAI and a free APC muffler! LoL! Im kinda savin up to do everything at once. Ya know, body kit, drop, LS VTEC... Its gunna be sweet!

 

I think im goin to bed man, its 12:30 here. Gotta be a work in the mornin. Hopefully i'll talk to ya tomorrow. See ya

 

ight mang haha sounds nice i finally just got the money from insurence and money from parents and some of my left over money to get header intake and exhaust lowering springs and have enough still to save up for ls vtec maybe if i wouldn't have been jacked i wouldn't of had to buy a couple things in that list but i guess its what u get for having an itnegra welp talk to u tommorw goodluck with the car

 

You guys know that there's a PM thing so you don't have to each make 10 posts back and forth to each other?

 

ive got a prety bad *** lsv build, its all rebuilt with je pistons and rods, running 12.7:1 compression, afew other extras, stock gsr head immaking 187hp at the wheels and146 trq, could o nly run a 14.7 with no traction, i havent been since i installed the full race traction bar, ifeel if i did some head work and went back i'd be in the mid 12's, im killing Mustang GT's on the street as is...

Anyways, i feel LS/V is great build if done right, but if you dont do itright, youf ucked!

That stock head is really holding you back. That high of compression goes well with REAL agressive cams. and good breathing set up (IM, TB ...) You should easily be making over 200whp.

 

So if I did everything that had to be done and got a Skunk2 IM, Crower 403 or 404 cams, JE Pistons runnin around 11.5:1 compression, GSR head with a 3 or 5 angle valve job, springs, retainers, an ARP head bolts..... what kinda power should I be makin? And what should I run in my heavy *** 4Door?

I just wanted to say that your 'heavy ***' 4door is only about 60 to 100 pounds more than a 2door (depending). That's like having a small kid in your car.

 

you could get some good numbers out of it, but take it from me, your gonna spend a **** load on that, for half of what thats gonna cost, you can turbo your LS, and make 300+ hp.. you'll be much happier in the long run
