OK, I asked this question in a pervious thread and got mixed answers...

Whats the point of doing LS/VTEC on a car that already has a B16A? It seems retarded to me to pull a perfectly good block and replace it with a non-VTEC block.

I still don't see how that makes it better then a B16A. I know it drops the compression three-tenths of a point, but that seems to be it. If displacement is what he wants, he should have just bought a GSR swapped car.

true, but if you have a car with a b16 already its cheaper to buy a b18a/b then do a LS/VTEC. You do loose your upper RPM range which does kind of suck considering thats where vtec is designed to work.

You want 160hp or 180hp? You buy what you find. If he found a car as clean for the same price with a gsr he probably would of bought it but thats not what he has. You work with what you got. You seem to have a real attitude lately & it's getting annoying.

WTF. I asked a simple question that know no one on the board can answer. If thats annoying, get the fuck over it. I understand that you have to work with what you've got, but fuck, going from a really, really nice FG to your typical B16 EJ that has a title thats "In the mail" seems really dumb to me. And doing LS/VTEC in a car with a B16A sounds dumb too, but no one can answer my question.

i just figured this peice of shit civic i got from a guy who might and might not send me a title needs a bottom end. hell it needs much more then that but i figured i found one i can get it till i get the ecu probs fixed now. the peice of shit wont hardly go over 7 grand and the cel shift light comes ona round 6 now. hmmmmmm

and yes a nice fg to a basic ej guess what this peice of shits paid off the fg wouldnt of been for a long time and they didnt make shit for it it was a auto ummmmm cops loved it it was having probs of its own. basicly i got rid of it and got something paid off and different probs

OK, that makes sence why your wanting to do LS/VTEC now. Yeah, it is nice to have a car thats payed off, but all that money that you were putting towards car payments is now going towards fixing/modding this car. It kinda sucks.
