Golden eagle makes quality products. I have their oil block adapter and vacuum manifold, good stuff.

Default Vtec

I apologize for the spelling. This is my 1st integra. Is there a noticeable difference in power w/ the kit(5 or more hp)?

The cost of the vtec conversion kit, usually does not include the head.

Long story short, Yes you will gain a few HP. No it wouldn't be the best for your $$. Find out how much of an end HP goal you have before you decide on this mod. It will cost you near the price of a turbo if done properly.

the lsvtec conversion kit is nothing more than a few dowel pins, oil lines, oil filter sandwhich plate, and headgasket. you would still need a vtec head, and refurbish the bottom end to have a decent lsvtec. if you dont know what you're getting into, research more.

1. It's spelled know-how, for God's sake. :a:

2. A properly built LS-VTEC goes far far beyond the conversion kit and the VTEC cylinder head. If your ultimate goal is turbocharging, save your money.

3. Use of our search engine will fill you in on the bottom-end build needed to rev your B20* internals past 6800 rpm on a daily basis.
