Okay as almost the whole ef squad knows i am going to throw a d series in the hatch so i have a driving vehicle and i am going to build my ls/vtec on the side now, and i hhave some questions a a list that i took the time to do i hope its right:D


Ls/Vtec

1)Which head studs do i use? the one for the head i have?

2)What Ecu?

3)Which harnass?

Ls/vtec list

1)Gsr or B16 head
2)B18b1 block(have it)
3)B16 pistons
4)Eagle ls Rods
5) Stock ls crank or should i get the eagle one?
6)eagle ls/vtec kit
7)Eagle ls/vtec head gasket
8)Type-r oil pump
9)Type-r water pump
10)B16 cable trans.....for now:ninja:(Gsr later)
11)Type-r valvetrain
12)B16 flywheel lightened by 3lbs to 15lbs(type-r weight)
13) What clutch do you recommend for All moter ls/vtec?
14)Arp head studs
15)Arp rod bolts
16)ITR cams/maybe which are good aftermarket 4 all mota
17)harnass?
18)ecu?

ALC rod & main bearings
new thrust washers (use OEM)
new valve seals (use OEM)
good after market cams are skunk2 pro 1's
ferra valve guides (installed by machine shop)

im probably forgetting some stuff, but ill up date as i remember:goodjob:

as far as head studs go! use head studs to match the head u buy!

here read this, u might even want to join... this fourm helped me alot with my LS/VTEC build, pretty much answered all my questions.

this even goes into detail about wat oil to use when breaking in a freshly rebuilt motor.

Hope this helps. Double check on your ECU/motor codes. I can't remember. I remember Pr4 is LS, though...

Oh, yeah, and use BNIB ACL or OEM bearings ALL AROUND. Make sure you remember the color codes from the bearings you removed. If you can't, toss them, and get ACLs. Either one is just as good of quality as the other.


Okay as almost the whole ef squad knows i am going to throw a d series in the hatch so i have a driving vehicle and i am going to build my ls/vtec on the side now, and i hhave some questions a a list that i took the time to do i hope its right:D


Ls/Vtec

1)Which head studs do i use? the one for the head i have? ARP studs for the head. ARP rod bolts for...the rod bolts.

2)What Ecu? I think either the GSR or Si (P72?) OBD1. DO THE OBD1 SWITCH! It'll be chipped.

3)Which harnass? If you wanna spend bank, get the hasport OBD0-1 harness. If you wanna get a little crafty and save some money get the Boomslang harness. For your motor, I don't recall which harness you're supposed to use.

Ls/vtec list

1)Gsr or B16 head IA or HT. Check with some local shops, too, as they may have it laying around.
2)B18b1 block(have it)
3)B16 pistons IA/HT. Use ONLY OEM honda pistons. Don't try to save money by buying some afternarket ones. You can sometimes find BNIB ones for sale on HT.
4)Eagle ls Rods HT, but a good set of LS rods will hold up just find.
5) Stock ls crank or should i get the eagle one? K.I.S.S. Use the LS one.
6)eagle ls/vtec kit Check HT, but Ebay is more likely.
7)Eagle ls/vtec head gasket Check HT, but Ebay is more likely
8)Type-r oil pump You can use GSR, or ITR. Just has to be VTEC. Get a NEW one. Direct from Honda, or sometimes Napa (look for stamped logos). Check HT, first.
9)Type-r water pump Same answer as above as far as where to get. But you can also use an Si.
10)B16 cable trans.....for now:ninja:(Gsr later)
11)Type-r valvetrain Save time and money. Do it once, do it right.
12)B16 flywheel lightened by 3lbs to 15lbs(type-r weight) It's easier/better to just buy an aftermarket one that's new or fairly new. Resurface it if it needs it
13) What clutch do you recommend for All moter ls/vtec?
14)Arp head studs You can get these used, and sometimes it's better to. That way, any stretching has already been done. Check HT.
15)Arp rod bolts Same as above. Consider a used set. Check HT.
16)ITR cams/maybe which are good aftermarket 4 all mota
17)harnass? ECU Harness; Boomslang. Motor...I can't recall which you're supposed to use. Check into Hasport.com
18)ecu? Again, check HT, and again, I think it's P72...
19)hytech headers. Check password, as well. Mugen is pretty good. Just don't go egay or DC Sports. Keep in mind the clearance of the front crossmember, under the oil pan, your O2 sensor port location/clearance, and under-car clearance.
Add more to what you think this setup needs... i know it sucks:D

my mistake on this part. here is the correct answer for ur head studs, i had to do a little research.

The ones you need for this hybrid setup are the GSR/ITR studs/bolts. Do NOT use the B16or B18a/b studs. They are the incorrect length.

no reps= IA penis size... and im trailing:lmfao:

look @ it this way saka, u can build it right the first time or.... u can build it half ass and then build it again when u blow it up.

u have the D series in the hatch now, which is good cuz ur not without a car anymore... now u can take your time and build it right. i have been planning, researching my build since march. i have been collecting parts since day 1 and now i am almost done. these things take time... unless ur balling!

ben is right not everything has to be new, this build is not going to be cheap. so cut cost when u can, i can get parts @ cost thats why i chose to replace old parts with new ones. i also if im going to build something im going to do it right and not half ass it!

the threades they posted for you on there are the ones i went along with when i built my ls vtec...great thread

get the golden eagle ls vtec kit.

i have a b16 ecu in mine (pr3) but a chipped ecu would work best...i would convert to obd1 as well if you already havent...lots of companies make jumper harnesses...phearable is a good place to get an ecu from, just call them and tell them wat you got and they will send you an ecu with no problems


if i was you i will go ahead and build the bottom end, get eagle rods...get the ones that already come with the arp rod bolts so you dont have to get shotpeen them

i would run a stock ls crank...if your going all motor then get some high compression pistons...i dont think you can run b16 pistons on a 1.8 block.

with that you can rev your motor all day no problem...unlike me i got stock rods and pistons with arp rod bolts, acl bearings and thrust washers...stock b16 ecu, im preety scared to revv past 7500 seeing as how ls redline is like 6500 lol

Unless you go to oversized then you will have to get oversized b16 pistons..25,.50 over from stock bore which is 81mm.Eagle rods are a good way to reliability.But if your el cheapo then arp rod bolts would help you rev safely.The weak part of ls motors is the rod bolts not the rods.Stock ls rods will rev safely to 8k max.Any higher and boom only reason it seems weird is because you dont trust Ls bottom ends due to the fact of people building them wrong and them blowing.Then they blame honda saying they have weak product.When really dumb dumbs try to rev stock ls to 9k 24/7

10-21-2008, 11:20 PM
i forgot... if ur going N/A i would use a GSR head due to the smaller combustion chambers, which will give u higher compression.

PTY REX wat head r u using? i have a GSR w/ brand new Type R valve train, and all new seals

lol dude, who gives a fuk about who knows more about honda knowledge, if your on a budget and have a stock ls vtec then you would go with a chipped ecu... i can see if you were boosting then get like hondata or some type of engine managment...but thats money, plus 140 would just be for some dyno tuning, you still need some kinda shit hooked up that you can tune...you really dont need all that for an ls/vtec to be realiabe...i said in my post that phearable makes very good ecu's...they are safe to run. on the other hand i agree with you about the rod bolts...i have stock ls rods on mine with arp rod bolts and i rev to 8k...dont do it normally but its been done.

i have a stock b16 head...i want some cams tho!...maybe some stage 2 bc cams.

A chipped ECU is nothing without tuning. Do you want your car to run ok, or do you want it to run great? Tuning is mandatory!

lmao...so if you got a stock ass motor you think tuning is mandatory? wat is there to tune?

i will say it again, phearable makes good ecu's, they just dont take your ecu and chip it, they send you a brand new ecu made for your setup in your car.


i agree with both of you that tuning is necesary but for a stock ls/vtec it really isnt...i can see if you running an all motor set up and you got cams and all that then yes tuning is mandatory

Gotta realize a hybrid motor is not a stock motor. Honda didn't make an ECU for a LS/Vtec or B20/Vtec...

did i mention honda making ecu's for ls/v b20/v?

if you got a stock ls/vtec i beleive it is safe to run a chipped ecu...if you are on a budget it will save you a couple of dollars to run a chipped ecu instead of getting a bunch of shit to get tuned.

thats all i was trying to say. i wanst trying to say that tuning is useless...if you go back and read the post i never said anythign bad about tuning.

yeah they came tuned from the factory 16 to 20 years ago noob. Plus when you build a motor like i want to build you should tune it, to make it run the right, like jfro said "Its not a stock motor" and I you need to think before you type.:doh:

i admited when i bought my first civic that i knew nothing about these cars what so ever, i have learned so much since then, And if it wasn't for EvasiveEF9, Bigdare23,JDMJAY.Jfro,00celica,90_zc_hatch, and numerous others i wouldn,t know half the shit i know now and if you want to tell me i m a noob then do it. if it makes you feel better about your self then fine i am hear to learn and have fun not to deal with your FUCKING BULLSHIT

You always talk big about your shit that's not even done.

:lmfao: :lmfao: :lmfao: dude stop being a bit.ch and do a dig since your so fast.And if you beat me ill just get my friend to bring his stock b16 back out for you:chuckles:

Prove

Please stop homie!

This was what I'm talking about. Get your car DONE, then start making callouts. **** talking is worthless if you dont have anything to drive! Also, get off your homie's nuts. Those tactics are very childlish! Get you car finished FIRST, then run your mouth after your car is PROVEN. When you start draggin people by car lengths run your month how much you want, but until then, you're keep quiet and stop diss'n people.

Don't take this the wrong way, cuz you're cool lil homie, but you talk alot!

Boy you are like a younger version of TANK :lmfao:


i Dont pull that bullshit cause if idk what im talking about i try to keep my mouth shut and ask for help. i ask for help so i can learn which is another reason of why this forum is here for.

i understand that too, honda did not make an ls/vtec or b20/vtec for a reason, so if your running that setup then its not stock...right?

wat i meant by stock ls vtec was stock block and head...i know its not stock but you have everything stock for it so you can say is just a stock ls vtec...i mean everyone should know that an ls/vtec didnt come from factory, if you dont then your stupid...so dont think i dont know wat an ls/vtec is...i built one lol.

Gotta realize a hybrid motor is not a stock motor. Honda didn't make an ECU for a LS/Vtec or B20/Vtec...

Ant were did you go to have your Oil alley plugged or Welded shut?

and i am thinking...

B16b

OR

B18c5

with CTR intake came
_______exhaust cam
ITR valve train
CTR pistons on LS rods
LS crank
ARP main rod bolts
ARP head studs
B16 Flywheel ( lighted to 15lbs) ITR weight
B16 trans (what i got now)

This is just what i've been thinking about tell me what you think or what would make my setup better?

jfrolang
12-27-2008, 04:25 AM
The best OEM exhaust cam is a B17, CTR gets a close second. Unless you're hard up for cash though, or just want to build an all-OEM engine, you should really get some aftermarket cams. Skunk2 Pro-series FTW.

I would like to go after aftermarket but i want to see how much power i can make from OEM parts, i will probably upgrade later but for now its OEM.

00CelicaGT
12-27-2008, 02:51 PM
u can run a P28 u just have to get it chipped and tuned. u can also use a P72 aswell.

i have a P28 that im going to have it chipped with Hondata S300.

i would suggest u use ITR pistons, if u use CTR u are going to have to clay the motor to check for valve to piston clearence. with the ITR pistion u will be somewhere around 12-12.5:1, which is plenty. if u use the CTR u will have really high compression (almost 13+:1) which will not live off of pump gas, and will cost an arm and a leg to tune the engine properly so that u wont have any detenation.

but it might work in ur favor since ur using a B16 head which has larger combustion chanbers compared to the GSR and might bring down the compression some. but u would still have to clay the motor which is a very hard process which alot of people dont know how to do properly.

i also suggest that u add ACL main and rod bearings and the Golden Eagle LS/VTEC kit with the their head gasket.

also why dony u just buy a ITR flywheel instead if getting the B16 machined

jfrolang
12-28-2008, 02:32 AM
I would suggest measuring and ordering the appropriate sized Honda bearings, instead of ACL. ACL bearings are fine for a stock rebuild, but I wouldn't use them for a high-revving custom build.

Also, get an aftermarket flywheel, unless of course you're still stuck on OEM parts.

If I'm not mistaking, ACL race bearings don't last longer, but they do allow higher revvs due to a lower frictions.

I'd still take properly-sized OEM bearings over ACL "Race." I'd also argue that perfect clearances are more important at high RPM than the bearing material. The crank and rod journals should be riding on a thin film of oil after all.

00CelicaGT
12-29-2008, 09:11 AM
well if u decide to use OEM or ACL u still need to add the bearings to ur list.

the best thingto do is... first do all ur research on the different types of setup's the make a list off all the parts u want to run for that setup. after the list is complete then u can begin to bu parts. but do ur research otherwise u will end up buying usless parts. (i.e. using a B16 flywheel and machining it to 15lbs)

also start to price out the work u will need to have a michine shop do, be perpared cuz they're not cheap.

Well there are alternatives, acid bath solutions are available that are safe to aluminum for example. A traditional "hot tanking" though, is corrosive to aluminum and may even warp it.

Wagos are not hard to come by -- but they are a test of patience. Took my 6 years to get a 510 coupe, 4 to get a 1st gen civic --- and 2 to get the right Wago. Just be patient and be ready to buy.

*i would get the pistons from H-motors cuz out of all the places i looked, H-motors was the cheapest. i bought USDM ITR pistons cuz i get OEM parts soo cheap.:D

*personaly i think the crank pully is a waste and u gotta save $$ where u can, from wat i have read it doesn't do anything asfar as HP... it's just for looks, was going to run an AM pully, but after Dare's ordeal i changed my mind. i would run an OEM just incase u run into a situation like Dare's or any other problem instead of possibly be stuck on the side of the road and having to tow the car home.

*ctr cams are probably the best bang for ur buck if ur going wit OEM cams. :thinking: i believe the best cam setup for a B series is a CTR exhaust and a GSR(B17) intake cam, they are the most arrgessive cams of the B series motors.

Ryan ur going in the right direction now!!! just keep doing ur research and crunching number's while u save $. that way when ur done doing research u can start buying parts, then all the time and effort u have put in will start to pay off.:goodjob:

LOLAnd Rev If I got it sorry but I wouldnt be part of your Dseries wago click for long.I was trying to get my brother and cousins opinion and they was into it until they found out it was auto.Pretty much I'd be stripping the hatch of everything including brakes,motor,transmission,interior that I can spare,suspension.Its just alot of stuff to do with code inforcement on my ass already.

You have it backwards, CTR Intake and B17 exhaust is the best OEM combo. Unless you get a great deal though, I still recommend aftermarket cams.

Why would you buy the 4wd then? You wouldn't be able to use it. Unless you're skilled enough to custom fab enough stuff to make it work with a b series. Only one person has mounts for them and they're one off prototypes from Hasport for the b series. Sorry, but I don't think you're that skilled if you can't even get a car with all the parts running. And what D series wagon click are you referring to? The EE Squad has multiple people with b swaps and I believe two H swaps. Dr. Charles had a K swap, even. My two wagons are d series, but only until I sell one of my four cars. :lmao::lmao:

i thought i had it backwards but wasn't sure, thanx for the correction.

i think i may got that route since i cant find any ITR cams. i can get the CTR cam off H-motors and get the B17 from a friend that has a set laying around. then i could finish this damn motor.:bump:

I was thinking about doing a K or H,in there but my friends keep telling me racing isnt as fun as it used to.So they kept telling me just get the Rsx,I was planning on buying in May.88-91 Wagovan Or A 03-06 Rsx:thinking: If I got the Rsx I would already have a K Lol no hassle with mounts and other stuff.And could still ride comfy with a/c blasting.So I really dont know I'll have to see how it goes by May.

At the end of the day, it's a car --- gets you from point A to B --- and spends most of it's life outside. I'd rather buy a solid used car that I own outright and then hav emoney left over for crack and Steak N Shake.
