hey guys i was wonderin is it better to get the new ls vtec conversion or get the b16 head? Cuz if anyone had the new ls vtec conversion kit i was wondering if they thought the b16 head had better results than the conversion kit?

 

wait wat do u want? ur gettin a ls/vtec conversion and want to know wat head to get?

 

Ya.. this makes no sense at all...

 

You need the head for the conversion.

 

my advice: leave your engine just how it is, because it seems like you have no idea what your talking about or doing.

Welcome to HAN though

 

no guys if you look on the net there is something new called the ls vtec conversion....so i was wondering if anybody knew how it was if they had it...

 

you are talking about the golden eagle ls/vtec conversion kit. all that is are a gasket, some dowel pins, and some oil lines. you still need a vtec head and other hardware to do the conversion.

 

And the oil sandwich plate adaptor for where the oil filter goes.

 

:lmfao:

i suggest you do more research and don't attemp to do ls/vtec at home. Where is theotherdave so he can explain this because his explanations always seem to be understood

 

Someone called? h:

Alright, I'll try to package this up neatly.

1) The "LS/VTEC Conversion Kit" is nothing more than a box with parts needed to place a VTEC head on a non-VTEC block. The kit does not modify your stock head to retrofit the VTEC valvetrain (cams, rocker arms, solenoid, etc.)

2) In addition to the kit, you still need a VTEC cylinder head from a B-series motor. That means one from a B16A, B16A2, B18C, B18C1, or B18C5. In addition, you'll need a VTEC ECU, a "sandwich" type oil-line adapter, the correct head gasket for your cylinder head and possible some shielded wiring of the correct gauge. Oh, and a knock sensor from a GSR.

3) Before you go crazy tearing into your stock motor, read up on the conversion process. There are limitations to the LS block that need to be addressed before you slap on that head and start revving to 8500 rpm. Oiling and cooling capacity can be upgraded with the GSR pumps, and IMO, it's mandatory.

So, spend a bit more time researching the process and make the call based on your budget and level of expertise. It sounds like a shop will be turning the wrenches most of the time, so factor in extra funds for their time.
