ls/vtec redline question
I'm talking for a friend of mine since he doesnt go on forums.
He's planning on buying a b16 head to do a ls/vtec conversion on his LS integra. He has a stock b18b block with a stock b16 head and where about to buy the Golden Eagle conversion kit but if we buy just only that, how high are you allowed to rev the motor (safely)? |
RE: ls/vtec redline question
you arent "allowed" to rev it to anything. i'de suggest keeping it to below 8200 (stock b16)
|
RE: ls/vtec redline question
actually i reccommend a little lower just because of the block
|
RE: ls/vtec redline question
if i were to do the ls/vtec swap, id spend money to build the block. the ls has a good amount of torque but isnt meant to rev as high. definitely would not take it to 8200. The b20 is even worse because of the thin walls and i wouldnt rev that past 6200rpm

RE: ls/vtec redline question
so whats the max safest redline for a stock ls/vtec? isnt it like 7k? since thats almost the same redline as a stock LS?
|
RE: ls/vtec redline question
id rev it to the stock LS redline only untill you get some rod bolts. As for the B20 thing, I have 2 friends revving their stock B20VTEC to 8500rpm daily with no problems yet (going on about 4 months for one, and almost 2 years for the other)
