i was looking around for an engine and i decided to look on ebay to see what they had but on there i saw blocks and heads for so cheap so im now thinking of getting this block and head and then building the motor what you guys think. also would this be a good setup if i did LS/Vtec instaed but i want to still boost i want to know if there will be any problems thanks

ur looking at spending a couple hundred to have those parts ready... LS-V is a huge build and honestly i dont think your ready to go into it.. research it ... check out "G2ic.com > teg tips > engine > LSVTEC build" read that... and if you fully understand everything they say... feel free just be careful

That is a regular B18 head. I don't know if you're either unaware or don't plan put together an lsvtec anytime soon but you will need a head with vtec in order for it to be lsvtec. And If you knew that already... well... my apologies.

as of boosting... i dont know. never even had a turbo car.

haha good catch... i just glanced at the page... saw the price... didn't bother looking beyond that...

yeah... like he said... u would need a GSR/type r/b16 head to be able to make it work. and like i said... read and learn everything u need to know to do it and be SURE that u know what you are doing before attempting such a difficult build

lol tegbooster is always gets nervous about the ls-v build

i know that head isnt a vtec head and when i do it i am prolly going to get the LS-vtec kit online

tegbooster

haha it's just because i've done full research into it... and i was literally ready to do it... then i realized it's not a "weekend" job.... so i just wanna give warning to everyone who wants to attempt.... fair enough right?

aboobybobpleez

fair enough for me

im assuming your talking about the golden eagle vtec conversion kit. All that does is reroute the oil lines so you don't have to tap the block for a new oil line. That just makes it easier to do an LS-Vtec. The basics of an LS-Vtec are still

-Vtec head (gsr/type-r/b16)
-Non Vtec block (CRV:b20 LS/RS/GS:B18)
-lots of fun stuff (new oil lines, cams if needed, valvetrain if needed)
-a few days of back breaking labor

what the LS-Vtec kit you've seen is, is probably just the head gasket replacement that will reroute the oil to the Vtec selenoid which comes on the VTEC heads.... search "howstuffworks:vtec" to really understand how a NON-Vtec head can never produce Vtec...ever

What tegbooster said + 1. It probably took me a week to build my setup and about 4 months of research, reading everything I could get my hands on ls-vtec builds before I even decided to start my build, I also asked questions to make sure I was going in the right direction with it.

Do as much research as you can and make sure your confident in what you are doing before you attempt this build. I used the GE LS-VTEC kit on my engine, it's a nice kit.
