Can I use a LS distributor on a vtec motor? I heard of people modifying their LS dizzy to run vtec. Does anybody know how to do this? Thanks.
Forgot to say that it will be going on a B16 converted to OBD1.

anyone?

 

Um if you mean use an LS dizzy on a b16a yes, you can't make your dizzy vtec though. Motors have vtec not dizzy's.

 

so if I use the LS dizzy, vtec will still work? correct me on this one if im wrong

 

YES Vtec will still work. The distributor does not control vtec, the ECU does. Any B-series distributor (technically) should work fine...

The U.S. 90-91 Integra LS dizzy should work with modification to the mounting points. The 92+up Integra will not work since they are OBD1 or OBD2.

I say convert to OBD1 now and be done with it. Now if you ever need a distributor down the road, you could always order one from your local parts store. OBD1 DOHC VTEC distributor.

I encourage my customers to go OBD1 when I perform their swaps. But for those that dont or dont have the extra money, I warn them about the rare, and fail prone OBD0 DOHC Vtec Distributors that was not offered here in the U.S.
