lsvtec and crvtec are both reliable if they are built properly.

look at my sig for which one i perfer

 

Thank you!!! I have an ls vtec and its just as reliable as a b18 vtec

 

hey i'm glad to hear your swap was a success. i currently have a b18b in my civic sedan, with a manual conversion, i'm undecided on cheap nos, or a custom turbo, but i have been looking more into lsvtec. did you research all the information yourself and had help doing it or did you pay to have it done by someone? what are the lsvtec's limitations? what do you have to beef up before throwing on the head? what intake manifold did you use? and have you heard the rod/stroke ratio dilemma with lsvtecs?

 

There is alot of info on the swap. You talk to one tech after another and you hear differnt things. The head I used was an 1st gen B16 vtec head. I had to bring pics of what I needed done to the head and **** due to the fact I live in Vermont. The import scene hasnt hit here real big yet. Well there are alot of cars here but the few that due **** to there motor. I am curious to see if the head I used can bolt right up to a crv block to give me the added oil squiters ? That is one thing that is better!!I havent heard anything about the rod/stroke dilema please more info!

 

hey guys.. out of curiosity.. i heard that somehow the LS/Vtec conversion can be done to an automatic teg?? i was told to believe that it can only be done to manual tegs.... can u gimme some input on this????

 

can u explain to me how can that be done so?? i heard that the teg's auto tranny cant handle it... can u tell me how this can work exactly (not explain wat ls/vtec is but how this can actually work with auto tranny)

 

Well, first of all, ls vtec is a b18 vtec. If you are referring to b18cs... you just can't get as reliable as stock.

CRV bocks don't have oil squirters. Rod to stroke ratio is the same on b18bs and b20s. And besides, rod to stroke is not something you should worry about.

You can do it to an automatic.

 

btw the p30 ecu is from dohc del sols, not civic ex single cam cars, thats the p28

 

automatic VTEC? :squint:

 

The p28 can be burned to a p30 its the easier to burn. plus the
single cam ecu does not have knock sensor
