jdoggydog567.... The rough sound I think it comes to the fact that the car was started at open header. :-)

[Joedrt]

Thanks buddy! The engine is out of the car and a K20 is on its way to the engine bay.:-)

Should be up in a few months!

You can put a 16 head on a 18 block? I am bout to rebuild a B18B1 engine myself,

[Joedrt]

HondaBender... Short answer! Yes! That is called a LS/VTEC build. I made 200 WHP with two broken piston tops. The car was still making compression even thou pistons 2 and 3 were chipped.

Please read a lot before doing the VTEC head swap for the correct parts and modifications. You will love the performance this hybrid provides if done correctly. Good luck!

[Joedrt]

Nope! The car was already primed.... the driver was messing around with the TB because the flapper was getting stucked when the pedal was not pressed. I was mad as hell when my buddy started to do that. LMAO

@adriandagangster not true if ur turbo u want longer LS gears to ride out the boost!

[adriandagangster]

@Odetoxo

U don't have to switch your tranny, unless u have the stock ls tranny, because it's gears are too long, so it's not good for "racing"

@Joedrt so i have a b18b1 block with a ys1 tranny... saying i can take a b16 head and that will give my car vtec??? i know ill have to do alot more than just that, but give me the simple answer. will my tranny need swapped?? ive heard that my ys1 tranny is good and rare...

does anyone know how much a K20a2 ENGINE WITH A TURBO AND SKUNK 2 COLD AIR INTAKE WOULD COST IM GOING TO PUT IT ON MY ACURA INTEGRA BUT I NEED A NEW ENGINE SO MY CAR DOESNT DIE BECAUSE RIGH NOW I ONLY HAVE A b18b1

[ShawnTheMenace]

@HondaBender -as long as its a b-series itll match up! i have a B18A1 w/ B17A1 Transmission. My buddy has a B20 Block w/ a B16A Head & a B18C1 Tranny..

-FRANKENSTIEN!!!

[evoknight]

I totally agree man. I compleletly believe that!

[mathewtsab]

@evoknight my LS/vtec has been running in my eg hatch for the past 11 years, no problem. no oil leaks what so ever. runs like a champ still. like any motor it has its wear and tear. too much road trips up and down cali. imma drop in a fresh set of CTR pistons. this will boost the performance up again. build it right and it will do you good.

[jdoggydog567]

ah ok still awesome though i have a b18b1 in my 93 intgra with headers,cold air intake, and everything, the only i dont like is its an automatic :( but it still keeps up with the turbo hondas in town :) i have the same color head too lol

[jdoggydog567]

nice but sounds a little rough though
