B18B1 DOHC nonvtec to vtec?

[girraffelll]

hi. im new. i just bought a 95 INTEGRA LS. is there any way to convert it to vtec? is it worth converting if possible?

[V T E C H]

the LS/vtec convertion is well liked. I would say it is worth the convertion, should add some good hp.

[girraffelll]

How much hp should it produce. i have done some research and all know for sure that needs to be replaced for that is the head solenoid and the ecu needs to be reprogrammed. is there anything else that i need to do for the conversion????

[Greenblurr93]

yes, you need to enlarge the oil ports on the block, if youre not sure about doing this, bring it to a shop because the LS/VTEC isnt very stable unless built perfect.

is that all that needs to be done for the conversion?

[Greenblurr93]

well. u also need to wire your car for vtec, get a vtec ecu, enlarge the oil ports, run a couple oil line (i forget where), vtec solenoid, and i cant remember what else.

[girraffelll]

there's more???

[Greenblurr93]

you thought it would be easy??

Man, do a google search on lsvtec. If it was reliable to just throw on the head and use the ECU, everyone would do it. A good general rule to modifying a car is to do research before you even consider doing anything; whether it be suspension, tires, bolt-ons, engine swaps, etc. So spend a few weeks or month searching on the topic and get as much info that's out there.

enlarge oil ports ?

[Greenblurr93]

ya, i read somewhere you need to enlarge some port that oil flows throught to go to the head.. or im just sick in the head...

[girraffelll]

so, if i was to get a gsr head and components how much horse power gain will i get? and how much horsepower if it is port and polished?
