It is a integra ls block b18a1 or b18b with a vtec b series head
LS vTec
a vtec head, and a vtec enabled computer
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.
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
it seems simple on paper but is a little complicated but with basic mechanical skills its possible. http://www.sportcompactcarweb.com/tech/0411scc_ls_vtech_engine/index.html
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.
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.
answer not for free.lol
no you cant the bolt patern on the vtec heads are different then the non vtec heads
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).
The sale price for the ls b18 ranges drastically, some of the variables are: Mileage, Location(where you live), Motor Condition, and if you are selling the whole thing(block, head, tranny, ECU, axles and so forth.... You have one thing working FOR you and one thing working AGAINST you..... FOR YOU: The LS/VTEC connversion swap is becoming increasingly popular... (putting a vtec head on the LS block and wiring it for vtec) AGAINST YOU: The LS is the easiest to find of all integra motors, so is the LS tranny.... So if there is not a lot of LS in your area and sold it locally you should take no less than 1100.00 for the engine as a swap, your head will not sell for much, you can get about 500-700 for the block depending on location and condition
Yes you can, but makes sure you get the oil lines as well as the new head, I recommend getting a b16 vtec head off a 2000 civic si
