have you tried a search = im sure you'll find info you need. here's a start:

http://www.4thgenerationcivic.com/engines/engines1.htm

and i quote them "One word.......Monster. That's the only way to describe this engine. As you may already have noticed this isn't a stock Honda motor. It's actually a hybrid between an Integra LS block and either an Integra GSR head or a Civic B16a head. This combination creates incredible power on both the top and bottom ends. By no means is this an "easy" swap. You will have to wire in the VTEC, mate the head and block together and fabricate some special parts. But any lengths you go to in order to get this engine will be paid off 3 fold in the end. The LS block is extremely torquey, in fact, produces the most torque out of all the B-series engines. Combine that with the peppy, high horsepower VTEC head and you have a strong motor that pulls hard from 2000 to redline. If you want to go fast, this is definitely one way to go. New products show up specifically for this motor every day, and many tuning companies have them in their own cars, like 5zigen for example. You can expect 1/4 mile times in the low 14, high 13 range stock. With mods who knows, but this engine earns the name FRANKENSTEIN!" = un quote of course!

Cost? hard to say....I've been changing parts here and there like cams, header, injectors etc...can't even tell you a ballpark figure (sorry)...plus it hurts to add up the cost and find out how much I spent

1/4 mile? last year, borrowed a pair of slicks, motor had less hp (198whp), 12.6 (full interior except for rear seats)

sounds sweet man. i wanna rebuild my ls block in the future. it would be cool to have a set up like that. well i had better start saving up lolol
thanks for the info

hey whats the compression on your lsvtec motor EF?

EF_LSVtec · #11 08-05-2004, 11:33 AM

11.7

itechengineers · #12 08-05-2004, 12:53 PM

wow, its a little up there. I asked because i thought of (for a sec of course) a superscahger, boost and nos on that motor.

EF_LSVtec · #13 08-05-2004, 01:31 PM

You normally can but I didn't plan on using either (boost or Nos) so I raised my compression up by shaving head, port & polish, etc....I daily drive and use my car for AutoX and all motor is the best set up (i think).
Plus main reason peeps do lsvtec set up is because of the extra torque the ls crank/rod (stroke) creates...if you plan on doing boost or other forced induction on your motor...I suggest just building a stock motor to withstand the boost you plan on doing...i.e. forged pistons, sleeved block etc...
