I heard that it is better preformance to put a b16a vtec head on a b18, rather than having a b16a stock. What exacly am i geting myself into if i want to put the b16a head on my non vtec b18b block? thanks

 

dont know to much about it but it is called ls vtec i think that u use a b16 wire harness for the vtec u might want to ask apexone he has a fully built bottom b18 and working on a fully built head and your going to need to convert to obd1 if your not already

 

First off. You're doing a good thing by doing this, there are a couple of risks involved though. To make the head swap simple go onto a site like inlinefour.com or golden eagles site and purchase an ls/vtec stainless steel braided line kit. This will be the only thing you will need besides the entire vtec head assembly. Instead of using the b16 head studs. spend a little money and get the ARP lsvtec head studs. you can get them off a site like optauto.com. If you arent experienced you should have a shop do the work for you or buy a high performance honda engine builders guide and have someone else tap the block for you. The reason the block has to be tapped is because one of the oil holes on the block does not exist on the head. therefore it is tapped and the stainless line is ran from the back of the block, most likely where the oil pressure sensor is, to the rightside of the back of the head. if you still need help let me know. mike
