LS/Vtec discussion & Questions

[SlamminCRX]

No, you're still missing it. It doesn't matter that you're using all stock parts, you're not using a stock configuration.

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.

[jfrolang]

Ugh.. I'm not arguing over that. I'm saying that you NEED tuning. End of story.

[SlamminCRX]

i agree.

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

Quoted for smarts.

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 Bigdare23,JDMJAY.Jfro,00celica,90_zc_hatch,[/B] 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

ARE YOU FRIGGIN' KIDDIN' ME!?!?

lol tony

[sakasaku]

SO anyways back on topic... i am wantin to build this motor balls to the walls crazy, like barley streetable, cause when i finish this i have a new job and where i make more than 7.28 an hour(soon to bee 8.00)!
i can just by a beater and have this as a weekend car !

this is one additon id like to do!

[00CelicaGT]

not a bad idea, but i would look into there shit, see wat other people think also people who have bought the product aswell. obx is known for knock off items, so buyer beware.

[southside]

I have heard alot of bad things about obx,So I would check around I havent seen anyone with that setup yet...though

[sakasaku]

i have been researching HT

[SlamminCRX]

haha, kind of subject but i got an obx manifold for free,put it on my eg, turbonetics t3 turbo, worked great, changed the turbo to a Precision SC61 on 10 pounds and it blew the welds of the manifold the first time i got on it

LOL, that kinda explains how good obx is. it was free tho so yea

[bigdare23]

FUCK OBX!!!

[EvasiveEF9]

Thank you, peanut gallery...

[sakasaku]

i was just stating i wanted ITBs thats the only company i know of that makes them
if you know any can i have a link to them pls?

ITB's seriously


Well if you have the money for all that and then the tuning, there's no half assing around on that.

[southside]

Yea I heard tuning ITB's is no joke and is expensive...

[sakasaku]

There not a definate yet just a thought

[Grimm Reeper]

There not a definate yet just a thought

A thought huh There's nothing wrong with being optimistic, it's if it's within your reach homie. Don't go broke building a Honda You'll possibly regret it down the road when you think of what else of a higher priority that you could of had. Some more of my

My car would be paid off, or my monthly payments would at LEAST be cut in half...

[slow_hatch]

Scrap all of this if you are wanting to go big.

Your current build < K20

i am going to build the b series

so any ways ummm......

[southside]

I say you build Poor Man Type-R haha my friend has one and he walks on Ks and H22 hatches....

[colelsvtec]

i have 96 ls itr i plan on slowly building an ls v-tec i just here so much different shit from all my buddies trying to tell me the right way to build it any suggestions and a part list with est. cost

[00CelicaGT]

check the link i posted on page 1, post #5

[sakasaku]

ant, your sig is disgusting,

[00CelicaGT]

lol thanx thats wat i was going for.

[sakasaku]

Okay so i Hear that CTR is an aggressive intake cam so whats an aggressive Exhaust cam?

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]

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.

For this with a B16b head what ECU should i use?

p28

[sakasaku]

Civic Type R ECU? i don't think that's right

[00CelicaGT]

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]

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.

on that flywheel i am considering that.... it all depends on wear i am with money then, but if i am short on money i know a guy that will resurface for 25 and lighten for a few extra bucks!

ACL research now

i though u were going to take ur time and do it right the first time. money should not be an issue if ur taking ur time to do it right, cuz when i dont have the funds to get wat i want im not going to settle for something less to save some pennies.

[00CelicaGT]

why not use ACL race bearings? they're designed for high rev's and last longer aslong as they're lubericated properly.

I havent seen anyone complain about acl race bearings.But Oem is nice if you have the cash.

[bigdare23]

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

How much are Oem bearings?Compared to Acl
