Im driving a 95 Integra Special Edition...1.8 L Non V-TEC...all i have on the engine right now is an AEM Cold Air Intake...and soon ill be getting full exhaust. so im thinking of doing a B18C Head swap and staying with the Non VTEC block, and stock transmission cuz it seems to be the quickest way to make my car significantly faster without getting a turbo setup (cuz i dont have the money for a turbo)...is this a common conversion? and is it a good idea? what are some better ideas?

QUICK change ur post!! its vtec. search lsvtec. ull find everything u need to know, then realize u know not a thing, and sell ur car. u can make an ls fast...ur just not smart enough.

 

the money u spend doing the ls/vtec u can buy a turbo, and the ls motor is the best for turbo..go turbo **** ls/vtec

 

I am in a simular situation, but how is the "ls motor the best for turbo" if the head flows like ***?

ur dumb.

 

It's a very common conversion called LS/VTEC. Please properly research this topic as virtually every question you can possible ask has already been answered numerous times.

 

I found a used V-TEC Head with 80K for $450 Bucks...ive never seen a turbo kit for less than 1,000...how would it be the same money? Granted, if i was to rebuild the head once i got it, itd be significantly more money...i would still think a turbo would be more expensive.

The cost will be less than a proper turbo setup, but still more than just the price of a VTEC head. Again, research the conversion, and you'll have a better understanding of just what it involves.

**** u loser, its just my opinion, sorry i didnt add that....stupid ****

 

search...

 

I wouldnt worry about getting a GSR or ITR head.. there not much different from the B16A heads..

I would pick up B16 head, keep the extra money and buy Throttle body, or Intake Manifold.. aftermarket

Neways, yeah, I think I paid about $2000 US for my setup, 195 hp, 158whp..its definently a lot less then a turbo setup would be, Ive researched it for months..

In the end your going to probably going to look at building it, the most Ive seen out of any LS/VTEC is about 210WHP..N/A

Good luck with your setup, if you have any questions just pm me..

 

ls head flows fine if its got a p&p job on it....

 

Another question about the conversion...
With the Vtec head, what would i have to do software/computer wise?

Right on Kendall!

 

i'm also new at this honda-tech thingy. I've heard too much rumors about ls/vtec messin up the motor after 20k or so, is this true? They said something like the ls block couldn't take it so oil starts leaking all over.

 

^ maybe if they shift at 10k for 20k on stock bottom/top

Ive had mine for about 5000 miles now, and nothing yet..

 

how many miles did you have on your car before you went ls/vtec?

 

okay, the cost for everything in an ls/vtec will be very close to the price of a turbo set-up:
complete vtec head (distributor, IM,TB)=$600 USD
OBD-1 Vtec ecu $175
ARP head and rod bolts $175
ACL rod bearings $50
GSR water pump, oil pump, timing belt $175
you'll probably want high compression pistons (eg, pr3, p30) $280 with rings
gasket set $150
what am i forgetting here......I think that's most of it. good cams and valve springs (eg. ITR) would be another $500 USD used

The install, if you aren't doing it your self add $400 or so USD.

You can add it up, this set-up should be good for around 180 whp (with cams), maybe less, maybe more, depends on tuning.
