LS/Vtec Swap

Hey im wondering if anyone knows where (or if) i can get a complete LS/Vtec swap for my 91 4dr i just bought. And when i say cmoplete i mean everything i need to do this swap.

you usually cant buy an "LSVTEC swap", you have to build it yourself. try www.ebay.com for the parts, or your local import performance shop. www.hmotorsonline.com has a good reputation as an engine distributor, try them.

ohh i kinda figured that but wasnt too sure....ok i know of a few things i need ls block, vtec head, oil lines, mounts, tranny, shift linkage....is there anything esle that i need for it and does anyone know some sites i could use to get most of these parts?

if you dont know what you are doin i suggest not tempting to build one. Its a very precise process and one little mistake could blow your motor. If you are willing to try more power.

im not the one actually doing it, im just gonna buy everything i need for it....im prolly gonna get one of my friends or a shop to o it for me

oh tight, im not sure on the parts so i cant help you there but goodluck and post some pictures when you do it

i'm sure you could just pay a shop to get you all the parts and sell you an "ls vtec swap", but i meant they're usually not readily available from an engine distributor/importer

They're the best! Its gonna cost alot to buy there LS vtec motors. Check it out and email them to tell them what you want. :thumbsup:

Thats all i can think of cause im tired and bored so n e one is welcome to chime in at anytime.

Personally since you really arent sure on parts, good deals or stuff just get a 90-91JDM SiR B16 Engine compleate. They run about 1000-1200 plus shipping for everything that you will need.

you need the b16a distributor, intake manifold, head gasket, transmission, etc. etc.

basically all you need is the b18a/b block and everything else you use from the b16a

aight thanks every1 who responded helps a lot....ohh and could u use a 94 up b18b1 block instead of the 90-91

Yes. You could also use the 90-91 teg distributor. You just gotta cut off the third leg.

ARP rod and head bolts! Verrry important!

i would use

gsr distributor, water pump(ls wont work at high rpms) and itr oil pump

b16 head and new cam gears

b18 block

p72 computer (Gsr computer) OBD-II

you might need a OBD-I to OBD-II converter if your car is OBD-I

you can get a vtec conversion kit on ebay that comes with the new oil sandwich and dowel pins and head gasket

arp head and rod bolts

if your head doesnt come with it your gonna need vtec solenoid, oil pressure switch and knock senor W/ wire harnesses because who ever does it is gonna have to add wire to ur computer and if u run it straight its is gonna be really hard for anyone to work on ur car in the future

aight thanks every1 who responded helps a lot....ohh and could u use a 94 up b18b1 block instead of the 90-91

theres no difference in the blocks....the only difference is the head.
