ok cool info in this thread but all stuff that has been said many times over. first off lsvtec is not a bad idea. i had it for a while and so do quite a few of my friends with absolutely no problems. let me teach you something. you said the b18c has what r/s ratio? 1.58:1? thats not great in my opinion, and when compared to lsvtec swaps its not very much worse. and nobody said anything about the b20a motor. the only good thing to come out of that was the crank but thats a side note. hes talking about either the b20b or b20z which came in the crv. the b20a would never work in a civic without serious engine mount reconfiguration.

now back to r/s ratio. im so sick and tired of people using this as a reason why lsvtec is bad. how many engine out there do you think have r/s ratios any better then an ls motor? not many at all. yah the b16 is good woohoo so i can rev to 11000rpm and you cant, big friggin deal. while youre getting there ill be halfway down the track with gobs of torque so whats your point? torque wins dragraces, not hp.

it is very possible to pull 240hp all motor out of this setup. but it will be a little more difficult considering you are keeping it a 1.8liter. you will definitely need higher compression then ctr pistons will give you thats for sure. and youd need like jun stage 3 cams with some good tuning but its very possible. in fact jun has their own gsr with 240hp all motor on their website im pretty sure and its in the 12's.

so heres the setup:
b18c5 head
jun stage 3
HD valve springs
heavy port and polish
b18b/a block
je 12-12.5:1 comp pistons
crower rods
block guard
EG civic cx
CTR or ITR tranny WITH LSD!!!!

very possible in the 12's if you do it right. might not be great daily driver cause youll need race gas and it will idle like crap but it will get the job done and do it well.
