VTEC'ing my LS engine in my Civic
 

I have a 92 civic Hatch and I have already done the LS swap in it. The engine has 90k on it and runs great! I have been thinking about getting it Vtec'd but of course I def wouldnt do it myself as Im not to good with engines. What parts will I need to do the swap? About how much will all the parts cost me? and wats the best route to go for the semi least money??? Or should I go the route of finding a prebuilt LS/Vtec??? :confused:Thanks....your guys help would be great!:D

you just need to add the vtec wires and add a vtec head

Get a B16A head
Golden Eagle VTEC conversion kit (oil lines/adapter/headgasket)
P28 ECU

and find somebody who has built this conversion before.

how much would all that run for about???

Just remember to find someone good to do it. It's not just a simple head slap on. But as stated before make sure you get all the parts for the oil lines, etc. There is a little more machine work to get that head on the ls.

what about the crank does that need to be balanced or can you rev it past 8 grand stock and be ok?

good question....cuz I have heard that you shouldnt rev it pas 8k if u dont do anything to it...the block stock cant handle it suposedly....ugg...soo many dang choices for this motor! lol

if you want to rev to 8k you'll need to get arp rod bolts. higher than 8k you'll want to think about getting the crank balanced, adding a girdle, and stepping up to forged rods.

fun stuff....cant wait for the extra HP tho....u guys recommend any other roads besides goin vtech?

It's Vtec...

And a Turbo B18B is killer...

BTW the HP gain by going LS/Vtec is somewhat minimal and you do lose a bit of torque...

Just something to thing about... but good luck on the build :)
