i just wanted to know, if you can get an ls engine and put a b16 head on it?
would it be just the same as getting a gsr and taking the head off and putting a b16 head on it? i really need to know
financial issues!!

 

yes, you can put a b16 head on a ls block. you need to do some modification or buy a golden eagle vtec conversion setup. no, it's not the same as a b16 head on a gsr block. the gsr block is stronger, has a shorter stroke and higher compression, better bearings, better crank, oil squirters and won't require plumbing for vtec.

 

if you wanna do an LS/VTEC conversion, dont do it. let someone like Mugen or Spoon do it. or in the end you will die. i mean..it will break.

 

thanx for the info
my friend told me that i would spend about 6,000 on a damn gsr swap
what kind of crap is that
i mean it doesnt cost that much does it?[sm=chairshot.gif]

 

< $3,000 for the swap itself
~ $500 (ROUGH estimate) for the install.
~ $350 (again, ROUGH estimate) for various other parts.

 

yo kappa
i went to passwordjdm.com and i looked at the prices and they werent that bad
but damn nothing is cheap when it comes to those damn engines
i still want the mfreakin gsr
they sell it in basic
stage 1
stage2
and stage 3 and all lsd
but i didnt see any warrany
hmmmm
my friend had suggested this site to me

 

warranty
(oooops)

 

i plan on doing a similar conversion myself sometime in the future, what i was thinking on doing is just go out (at like the auto auctions or something)find a GSR that was smashed in the back end and then you have all your parts you need right there still might be a pretty penny though

 

Yeah it would. You can also start shopping eBay for front clips and such, and check out www.sunrisejdmmotors.com. They're cheaper than most.

 

If all you need is a quick band-aid you can slap the b16 head on and disable (meaning not hook up) VTEC. Then there is no need to worry about plumbing up oil lines, having the block fitted for squirters, running wires to your ecu, finding a VTEC ecu, blah, blah, blah, blah. That'd be the easiest way of doing things. There is absolutely no mechanical issues with disabling VTEC.
