hey im in the middle of an l/s vtec swap(B18B1).not planning on running boost this year. its my first time doing one and i wanted to know:
-do i need to swap to lsd tranny?
-whats the best intake mani to run?
-do i need vtec solenoid?
-will i have fitment issues with mishimoto rad and fans with dc header?

ill probably have more questions later but this is all i can think of at the moment, thanks.

 

- no
- whatever fits the head
- how do you expect vtec to work?
- do it and find out

 

also do i need a vtec ecu or can i just program with hondata? and do you need to swap to a vtec head?

 

Without a Vtec head you wont have the necessary parts inside to run vtec.

Here man read ALL of these

seriously wtf? what the actual ****?

 

Jesus christ.

Im starting to think we just have a bunch of trolls making dumbass threads on purpose.

Did you really think a non vtec motor could be turned into a vtec engine just by putting in a vtec ecu or tuned ecu?

LOL @ being in the "middle" of an lsvtec swap, when you dont even know what lsvtec is.

What the hell is the Honda community coming to?

 

man chill the **** out, its people like you that make others not even wanna do **** to their car. cuz no matter what the question your always going to get beaked. this is the first time im building an engine by myself and i have nobody in my life that can help me with this ****. so what it might be a stupid question but im trying to learn as im going on. thanks for the help *******.

 

Members get upset when people ask questions which could have been easily answered had you bothered to search. Since you're new, you get a pass this time...

Here's everything you need to know: https://honda-tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1676914

 

Ahem. I've snipped the barely-literate Anglo-Saxon superfluity.

I think you're being flamed here primarily for the sin of failing to do the most basic research before posting.

Son, VTEC IS the head and all the associated hardware. A simple Google search will reveal all sorts of images and videos showing just what VTEC is. And you need ALL of what's associated with VTEC to make it work.

You need the ECU, head, solenoid, wiring, and everything else to make VTEC work. It's the same idea as needing not only your feet, but your leg bones, pelvis, and everything else in order to be able to walk.

 

he exact reason people say crap like in this post is because you fail to even research anything about what your doing. You heard the term ls/vtec, heard a couple things about it, but fail to even understand what it is before you start asking question that are in a million posts all over the internet.

All you have to do is

1. google.com

2. type in exactly what your trying to do, adding in words such as "How to..."

3. read a bunch of different postings

4. Something your reading that you don't understans, go back to google, type it in and read about w.e else your trying to understand.

It isn't that hard.

 

word, thanks.

 

Ahh yes an internet forum detering people from tuning cars.

And I have no one in my life that knows a damn about cars, hell there isnt even a car community around here, but ive been reasearching stuff about cars on the internet since I was 15, and now i know more about cars than most of the people on here.

 

My"idontevenknowwhatthisis"goesBWAAA

 

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Really though, what is going on all of a sudden?

 

Trolls are the only explanation, its been like every day for the past few weeks that these threads pop up. The FI section is flooded with them, like asking if anyone has ever turbo'd a d15 lol.

 

I bet its those subaru ****** haha

 

I could be wrong, but if everyone searched Everything then what would be the point of the "New Topic" button? I'm sure every possible problem/topic has been covered/talked about on the internet.

A forum is an interactive place to talk/discuss topics and problems. While some people rather have it like a repair book where you look up your problem. Turn to page 126. and there's the answer. no interacting. That's just my opinion though..

Just saying...
**not fighting with anyone! (Don't feel like getting my flame suit on!)

 

hahaha

 

Check out my build thread link below, it was my first lsvtec build, and i posted a bunch of pics.

 

The LS/VTEC build is done by putting a VTEC head (either a GS-R head, a B16A VTEC head, or an Integra Type R head) on an LS block. There is a lot of other things that go into it, however, as you will see if you check out some of the links that have been given to you. The main problem is reinforcing the LS block and internals to be able to cope with the high-rpm operation of a standard VTEC engine. We tend to take engine speed for granted, as Honda VTEC engines last for hundreds of thousands of miles between rebuilds, but 8k rpm operation is very very stressful for an engine.

For this reason, LS/VTEC builds have a reputation for being unreliable, particularly if the builder cuts corners. You can expect a build like this to exceed $2-3k if done properly. If you're serious about turbocharging in the future, you might want to consider abandoning the LS/VTEC build and save your money for the turbo. You get more bang for the buck with a turbo and the build priorities (re: piston choice, etc.) are different. As with the LS/VTEC build you buy reliability with careful choice of parts, time, and cold hard cash. So make sure you do a good amount of research before making any decisions or you'll wind up troubles down the road.

 

Not to mention switching the oil pump from non-vtec to vtec lol. Hmm... went to 8K, now have rod knocking in my lsv... are you running ls oil pump- probably! "So much more torque"- great can't wait to see a rod poking out the side few hundred miles later...

 

ALL 96+ b series oil pumps are the same

 

Reframe from posting.
96+ same oil pump
Vtec/non-vtec different water pumps.

 

Exactly, obviously I'm speaking of pre- 96 when the oil pumps ARE diff! Someone already replied about that- however, you are right about water pump. All non v have diff w/pump than vtec engines. I believe the word you were thinking of is refrain, not "reframe"

 

Thanks grammar ****.

Glad I could actually contribute to the OP's thread, other than posting non-sense.
Have a nice day.
