allright so where would i get one of these pre built ls/vtec blocks?
i just bought a b18b with less than 35,000km on it so could i use that
yes i do want the ls/vtec
what is some of the most frequent complications that people face when doing this conversion
i basically want to get my car to about 175-180 hp NA for a daily driver with a setup that will be ok with boost if i want to go faster later on
should i be able to do the ls/vtec setup with 3-4k on top of what i spent on the engine
thanks

i was hoping to build my whole setup off ebay, that way im getting the lowest price possible
i just need help so i know what i should be looking to buy
im looking for the best quality parts so my engine will be able to take quite a beating
in your opinion snoopy what would be the best head and transmission for the b18b
would this be one of the best heads?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WDVW
and for the transmission would the gsr be the best?
the new engine be out of the car untill my current engine dies so im guessing now would be the best time to do the head and bottom end
sorry if i ask 2many questions

you can use any b series vtec head you want. try to find a complete head with valvetrain, cams, etc. so you dont have to hunt those parts down. a b16 or gsr tranny would be the best bet. the b16 has shorter gears and better acceleration than the gsr.

Think of it like trying to make a mink coat from thrift store scraps... it's impossible.
