LS/Vtec discussion & Questions

[southside]

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

Seems like you are lacking Honda knowledge buddy,Chipped ecu is good and all but tuned is the best way to go.Paying 140$ for a chipped ecu instead of spending another 140$ and getting your car tuned to run safely.Its up to you to protect your investment.Also you can run b16 pistons in a ls block. 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

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.
