VWeater Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 How much work is required internally for the LS VTEC? is it really better to run with gsr parts llike water pump and such? last thing how much torque behind that? Hp should be aboout 190 195 if im not mistaken but nobody says anything about torque Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drainedbycrx Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 most people arent quick to answer specs on vtec ls..1 reason..theres so many variables when its being built. you dont know what young frankenstien is going to be capable of..sorry im no help.hahaha.....anyone wanna buy an H23a1..what can i get about..is it worth anything...i got it for free!! java script:emoticon(' ', 'smid_8') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountaindewguy Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 standard bottom end that SHOULD be put into an LSVTEC: arp rod bolts, and get the rods resized b16 or gsr pistons, or your compression will sucks. gsr oil pump (or type r) match the water pump with the head that you use. cant remember TQ numbers, but your HP will be in the 174-185 range. thats with bolt ons and such. get some head gear (cams, valvetrain upgrade) and the like and you might tough 190 or a little over.

mountaindewguy Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 what i dont think you understand is that when you do an LSVTEC, you're not getting the TQ or HP numbers from any single car. this engine is pieced together, and in turn, the actualy dyno numbers are different. with a slightly built bottom end (new bolts, pistons, etc) and a GSR or b16 head, and lets say GSR tranny, some bolt ons (intake manifold, header, exhaust, intake) you wont touch 190. where the hell did you get that i was confused with the SIR???

mountaindewguy Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 b series pistons are interchangeable, at least most of them. stock ls pistons = low crapty compression GSR or b16 = higher compression Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSR and myself both schooled Mt.Dewguy on how to build an LS-VTEC. I'm sorry if I come off as an butthead, but if you don't know how to do something, why question them on their advice?

SolLesHonda Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I'm one step further now as far as building goes, since I ahve successfully built mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBirdSucks Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I'm one step further now as far as building goes, since I ahve successfully built mine. that...and I also told you how to build a CR-VTEC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SolLesHonda Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Oh and BBS, so far so good. The motor is running strong. It pulls too ... I love the turbo, but still kind of wish I went NA with the CRVTEC, but that will be later one day. Thanks man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And some people on here really dont know what theyre talking about. Pardon my curiousity but whats the point on having a forum if all you do is argue nobody helps with peoples questions they just have some smart ass remark.

Pardon ME if i sound like an butthead who's arguing? I'm not the one asking technical questions, I'm the one helping to answer them. the pistons in a B16 and B18 are the same size. the stroke is different between the two motors.
