Ls Vtec
I've never done much in the way of engine work. I've always been more of an electrical, audio type person. But, I've been hearing about how great the LS-VTEC combination works. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but this is what I know. I want to know what the rest of you honda-acura people know.
First of all, I drive a 1996 Acura Integra LS with 100K miles on it. It runs fine, no leaks. No engine work whatsoever yet.
From what I hear, you can buy a VTEC head and put this on my LS block. I know this also involves a new computer and that there are certain heads which will be a "direct bolt on". The advantages being that the LS has a better bottom end for torque and low end horsepower while the VTEC has more top end power? I know this will involve the buying of gaskets, but is this a possible job for me to do? Assuming I get the correct parts? Thanks. ANY links, pics, suggestions, are welcome. THanks.
