it seems simple on paper but is a little complicated but with basic mechanical skills its possible.

Yes you can. You can either use your LS block and put a Vtec head on it or you can just swap it out with a GSR or Type-R motor.
a vtec head, and a vtec enabled computer
LS vTec
No, the only 92-93 GS-R models have the 1.7L VTEC engine; the RS/LS/GS models have the non-VTEC 1.8L. It will say on the Engine if its a Vtec
b18. Acura offered a vtec and non-vtec. the LS, GS, RS came with a ba8a or b18b. These are both non vtec. the GS-R came with b17a. This was the VTEC. both are DOHC.
It is a integra ls block b18a1 or b18b with a vtec b series head
In short Yes, however if its a non-vtec b18 block you will have to do and ls-vtec conversion to it (kits available online).
no you cant the bolt patern on the vtec heads are different then the non vtec heads
You have to acquire a vtec head either from a b16 or a b18 (gsr)
The LS motor for Honda is all NON-Vtec motors.. The block stamps usually read b18a or b18b. The difference is that they don't have the extra intake lobe on the camshafts like the vtec motors. They turn less RPMs. The non-vtec cylnder heads flow crappy compared to the other heads. They make less hp. These are the engines in the late 90's Integras. B18a / B18b = LS 140 HP B18c1 = GSR 180hp B18c5 = Type R 200hp
No..., 92 Acura Integra Engine, Yes.... A couple actually, 1.8liter b18 non vtec from ls gs rs and so on 1.7liter B17a1 VTEC from GSR Hope that helps...? maybe
Its called an ls-vtec conversion, there are tons of write-ups online (honda forums) about it. However it basically involves buying an ls-vtec conversion kit and drilling/running some oil passages in order for vtec to engage.
