Head Swap For A 96 Integra LS
trying to figure out what else i would need to put a GSR DOHC Vtec head on a 96 integra LS. Cause its only a DOHC but i want to convert it to a DOHC Vtec motor... i love the sound of a vtec so i want to know what else i need to complete it and make it run right when i do this.

Go over to the Integra forum... Not many Accords have a B18C engine.
Search for "LS-VTEC" because that's what this conversion is usually called.
You'll need at least this stuff:
VTEC solenoid with it's oil pressure switch
Intake manifold with IAB, along with the vacuum canister, solenoid, etc.
A B18C1 engine wiring harness.
An ECU from a GSR to make it all work.
The reason you want the intake manifold is the IAB butterflys are what makes that "SOUND of a VTEC". It's not actually the vtec.
