Search. There is a good LS/VTEC discussion going on in one of the other sections. This is the thread discussing B16 and B18C heads on B18A/B blocks: https://www.honda-acura.net/forums/s...threadid=84793

Why is the D16Y8 being overlooked? SOHC Vtec doesn't sound bad to me, shouldn't it just drop in? And the possibility of a turbo or supercharger isn't unreal.

Osaka sucks. Heard enough bad stories about them on Honda-Tech.

Get an LS and turbo it. VTEC is over rated but by using an LS you can swap a vtec head later if you want.

I can't wait to do my LS/Turbo set up.
