You can put it in... but its not like a "drop it in a bolt it up" at least im pretty sure it is not, the price, seems good. Thats about all i feel safe saying.

 

what car is it in? what all does it come with? why put a motor in your car that wont pass inspections?

 

i say do it! but you will need a tranny as well and where do you live where the emissions will be that bad? ... o now i read your plate yeah you won't get away with it. unless you do a whole ton of stuff which i have no idea about how to do being that we don't have emissions in michigan

 

LSV = cheap vtec. Sort of. To build it correctly will actually cost more than, say, a B18C would in the long run. For example, the LS bottom end isn't meant to rev as high as a vtec b18, so if you want to build an LSV that revs as high as it should, you'd need to either re-balance your crank or get a B18C crank. But a bare-bones LSV technically costs less than a GSR/Type-R (at the expense of reliability IMO).


Also, I wouldn't recommend an LSV as you live in Cali and there's something like a 90% chance you'd have trouble passing an inspection lol

 

you can swap that engine in and still pass smog. I know tons of people with swapped engines. You just have to do it legally and get it bar`d.

 

yes its a non vtec b18 ls block with a vtec b16 head
