Looking for info on a LS/VTEC swap

[Hatchin]

Hey guys,

it has been awhile since i posted on here, anyway i decided to keep my civic hatch and not go DSM. My friend has a b16 head that he is giving to me so i need a LS block. I am trying to research as much info as i can about this swap, if you know of any good sites with basic info could u please post them up. Also, post up any sites that have a "how-to guide" (might not exist). If the swap goes as planned i will be adding a turbo set-up also....


thanx guys

IMO you should just try to find a B16 or GSR block.

now im not here to dog on LS/VTEC, it just seems to me that the numbers are far exagerated. think about it. Lower revving capability, a lot lower compression, weaker bottom end, and yet its rated at MORE horsepower than a stock B18C1? i highly doubt it.

lsvtec info 001

Diy Racin

dyno charts

Try that i can't find alot of my old links that or they don't work any more hahah

google search it im shure you'll find good info out there

As far as building one if you got the know how or the place to make it for you go for it or a Crvtec motor

Ls bolck is stronger though

im going with a b16 head, ls block..........im going with a 12:1 compression, i gaurentee with that swap and the upgraded cam, rods, pistons i will be running that could take a 4th gen with a b16a swapped into it with upgraded internals

Plus i have my car gutted from the driver seat back, i am predicting low 14's high 13's on street tires
