Good Engine Up Grade

[hotboyworm]

Alot a my club members talk about tha LS vtec. But I heard that it wasnt a good of a engine because tha vtec head doesnt go with tha LS block and it leaks oil all over tha place. I was told a B18b for a 93 civic EX was good I would greatly appreciate tha in put.

the lsvtec set up is very popular, I think a few member have that now or are planning on doing this.

Yes, the oil issue is true the head and the block dont exactly fit together without modification but but there are several companies that sell the oil line fix. I think this is one of them in action:

I am sure its just a matter of time before one of our more knowledgeable members comes around to give you more help.

Well from what I hear that set up can be very powerful and rewarding if done right. Yes it is comonly said to be a shitty set up mainly because people do it wrong. I have seen cars that have had the swap done right and it is a beautiful thing. Especially under boost. Well just a few thoughts.

Ls vtec is a great way of getting power with out spending a ton of money. It depends on how much money you have to spend. Ls/vtec/turbo or just H22 is my suggestion if you have that kind of money.
