Have a 96 civic with a b18a1 block & looks like a b18b1 head. It's non vtec . I kinda wanna make it vtec , but what all would that take ? And what all could I do to it ? I want it a little bit faster but don't wanna spend a **** ton of money help!!

 

Do your god damned research this has been covered thousands of times.

search LS-vtec

 

I have the ls swap from a integra I want it to be vtec but heard the ls swap vtec messes stuff up and how much would it be I heard a lot of money ? Would it be cheaper just to get a new intake manifold & add more stuff

 

I'm new on here & new to Hondas calm your shiy I been researching and get different answers

 

if you want to add vtec you have to do a LS-vtec. theres no other way around it.

spending $ on a manifold and other parts for a LS motor just isnt worth it to me.

if you dont have the $ to convert to LS-Vtec correctly or even swap a B16A motor then just leave it and accept your car for what it is..

having a LS swapped 96 civic is faster than most stock civics out there..


if u really want to make ur car faster, save up money and do it right.

 

why do people keep thinking going fast for cheap is a good idea?

 

Because of youtube.

 

I don't . I don't mean cheap cheap . What's a good vtec ls conversion? & I found golden eagle for about 300 bucks but what else would I need

 

you havent read a single reply in this thread have you?

 

Golden Eagle LSV conversion kit, ARP head studs/rod bolts, B16 or GSR head, chipped p28 or p30 ecu. I highly recommend ARP rod bolts due to running higher rpm's and the rods are usually the first thing to go.

 

And a new timing belt if you decide to use the 19 tooth water pump.

 

If I didn't do the ls vtec what would you recommend me to do to the motor ?

 

Depends on how much your trying to spend to go that little bit faster.

 

Not to much just a few hundred

 

i think your just waiting for someone to tell u what u want to hear because everyone has given u options and advice and what not and u just ignore it. then come up with a new question.

you only want to spend a few hundred bucks and expect to be that much "faster" good luck man.


u cant do much with a few hundred bucks to an ls. or any motor for that matter to make respectable power. yah maybe an intake and a axleback muffler? but then what, you just turned your car into another fart can ricer.
just save up your money and do it right.

 

Just buy bolt ons. Everything else is going to be way more than you want to spend.

 

What kind of bolt ons

 

the cheapest ones you can find because you're just wasting your money anyway

 

What do you think I should so to it ? Forget about the cheap upgrades what is your opinion on what I should do to the motor
