Hello,just signed up. I am in the market to buy and install some type of engine swap into my 94 civic ex. I have looked into alot of motors and can't make up my mind. I don't need anything extreme because its mainly a show car but,want to concetrate on doing something unique. I would like to do the ls/v-tec motor with auto tranny but have some questions. I was reading on another site that when building this motor you should take all the stock jdm b16a2 internals and put them into the ls block, since the ls block isn't made for high reving. With a stock jdm b16a2 I'm looking at 160hp,with the b16a2 head on an ls block I'm looking at 190hp. I can't see taking an ls block apart,building with v-tec engine internals for just 30 more hp. wouldn't it be wiser to just take the b16a2 motor do some port/polish work to the intake and head,then add some aftermarket bolt-ons to give me that 190hp? let me know what you guys think?? has anyone else done an ls/v-tec with auto tranny?? also,I'm trying to stay with all motor because the auto tranny/turbo combo doesn't seem to lke each other,plus,it would be less problems
