Im selling the ls to a friend and he wanted to know what could be done to make it faster and im getting a c5 for my gsr so i was trying to make use of the old motor.

All B16 motors are vtec motors.

The Type R motor is insanely overhyped. Rebuild the GSR motor stronger and better and you will save money and be faster than the Type R motor would.

If the motor has 160 hp like you claim, it has vtec. There no stock B series motor without vtec that has that kind of horsepower.

Trust me, all B16 motors have vtec.

it's a zc, the headswap wont work, and it only has 129 hp (if DOHC) or 120 (if SOHC)

its dohc and it seems like it has more pull than my gsr up to about 100 then it starts to die off slowly and the accelaration is really great.
