im doing an ls-vtec swap, i have a complete b16 in my car currently, and i just bought i complete ls engine (dirt cheap). im gonna put the b18 block and the b16 head together....leaving the b16 block and b18 head. is there anyway i can mate these two so that if my ls-vtec engine is gonna have work done, or needs to be pulled, i can put this one in without having to buy another motor???

 

i am also interested, i never thought about that

edit: BTW, i think it should work.

Sounds like an interesting question I'd like to know that too.

I don't know why I keep thinking this and could be wrong LOL But I was thinking that if doing an LS/vtec swap gave you nice horsepower AND torque then wouldn't mating the opposite make you have no horsepower and no torque LOL

 

ive been thinking that too haha but i just dont wanna have to buy another motor when i've already got the pieces for one...who knows maybe the "power" won't be too bad.

 

please!! no one knows the answer to this? no one has ever thought of this? any info will be greatly appreciated

 

anyone?

 

please...anyone...anything . thanks

 

i have a B16A2 block with a B18 vtec head in my 98 GSR...

although i havent taken it to the track yet, it seems like it will do well

 

u can put LS heads n b16 blocks, but power is shitty..if ur gonna just use incase, then go for it, u need to reverse the LSvtec directions... oo, i dont know abot the oil passage though, ive seen it done before however...

 

do you guys know of anyone who has done it on honda-tech and can give details and ****? thanks alot

 

so you'll have a 1.6 ls? i'm wondering how much power that will lose from a stock b16? but at least u'll have a spare

 

its gonna be hard but u can do it..... ur gonna have to take the head and the block to a machine shop to get the dowel things the same size

IMO is a waste of time and money plus after u do the conversion and u want to make it a straight up b16 ur going to have to take it to the machine shop again and u wil never be able to sell those parts again

tru just sell the stuff

tru just sell the parts

true just sell the stuff..

 

i guess it won't turn out to be worth it, im still curious though, how much power it would produce. oh well...thanks for the input guys.

 

probly like 100WHP

 

Maybe 100wph after u work out the 5 millions bugs you are going to have

 

wouldn't it have been the same when ls-vtec had just started out? maybe if someone tried it out it'd be good for something, like turbo or something lol. who knows...oh well

 

I would assume it would be something like a ZC
