i've never heard this before, but my friend jsut told me that 98 and up ls's were changed, they supposedly had cams wit different profiles and stuff too, i've never heard this before, i just thought that every b18b1 from all those years were all that same. Does anyone have info on this at all?

from what i have seen the engine from 98-01 on the gs/ls are the same...might be slight differences but all of them were rated at 140 hp from 98-01...from what ive seen and read about..other then that i dont know

gradebg96

same here, but someone told me swapping in 98 cams and some other stuff would help out some, not because they are newer, but because they got a diff profile

the engines were the same. the only thing that changed in 98 were a few exterior and interior things. and all integra's got those changes.

MahoneyL80

the biggest interior thing i see that changed was that the gs came standard with leather in 01...and the ls didnt come standard with leather

and to let you know the gs is basically a gsr without the engine

i know this is probably a stupid question...is it possible to do a mini-me swap with the GS and GS-R like you can do with the d16y7 and y8? or should i just shut up now?

its called an lsvtec. you can use a b18a/b or b20b/z block and put any b series vtec head on it. its not that simple though. do a search on lsvtec and you'll get more than enough info.

they got kits for make it easier tho www.lightningmotorsports.com , ud still have to get the ecu, the head, distributor, n prolly a the water pump, and other stuff too.

that kit will make it somewhat easier but to make a reliable lsvtec you'll have to dig into the internals.
