i think i can be a lil more patient than ive described before.. a week or 2 ago i wanted it done soon but now with the way gas prices are i realized that ill have to waitegfanatic said:just dont take any short cuts and the motor will last as long as you want it to.
thats another thing..egfanatic said:if your serious about wanting to do it, Duncan already has one built correctly for sale with 0 miles on it, im sure you could probably get it at a pretty good price if you talk to him.
money's a hard thing to come by these days when it all goes to gas..
i dont doubt thategfanatic said:you could probably buy it cheaper than you could build one just saying.
its just that it'd take me about 4 months to save up a grand.. so idk..
well shit if he's sellin it for 200 wheres he at.. ill meet him tonightT3AM SPOTLIT3 said:just say he got his block for $50 and his head $250,if your boy sale his complet lsvtec,for $200 i take itegfanatic said:you could probably buy it cheaper than you could build one just saying.
i no its not gonna be just puttin the head and block together.. thats why im gonna need as much help as i can getduncan said:wow, math puts your build there at about 300. not 200. and obviously, if you think that you can just slap a head on an ls block and call it lsvtec, you have never built one. theres a lot more headache involved than just that.T3AM SPOTLIT3 said:just say he got his block for $50 and his head $250,if your boy sale his complet lsvtec,for $200 i take itegfanatic said:you could probably buy it cheaper than you could build one just saying.

everyones got a gsrtimmy tegra said:why go through all the trouble and money to do a ls/vtec when you can just do a gsr swap??
i dont personally know anyone with an lsvtec
i can already imagine.. but itll be worth it in the endtimmy tegra said:true.Deentwon said:everyones got a gsrtimmy tegra said:why go through all the trouble and money to do a ls/vtec when you can just do a gsr swap??

its different.
sounds like it's gonna be a pain but g/l with it man.
thanks
im definitely rememberin all thischromesilver6 said:Just make sure you have the distrubutor that goes along with the Vtec head you chose to use along with the intake manifold. Along with what you have listed above about the only thing you would be missing is a Vtec ecu. Del sol vtec would be a nice ecu to go with so you dont have to run some generic bullshit chip on a P28. You should be able to put it all together for cheaper than a GSR swap and then you also need a trans. I would go with B16 or a GSR trans. Ls trans will just be slow. And lastly i wouldnt spend money on the girdle that is highlighted in the previous posted pic unless you were planning on revving past 8500k rpm. I mean its kinda cheap insurance but its not a have to. Ive seen tons hold together great with just the rod bolts. Up to you on how much money you wanna spend and how much power you wanna make.
now the problem is whether to buy the block sittin at my friends house.. or the head that this dude might have sold soon.. i think im gonna go for the head.
also.. my friend says one of the pistons is outta line or somethin like that.. we looked at it and the 2 on the outside are about 4mm different give or take a few.. (it was last week when i looked at it)
lol
the funny thing about that is.. my friend thats sellin the ls block.. has a b20 complete motor sittin in his garage lol

will parts be more expensive than for ls?..chromesilver6 said:Well get that shit man. Putting together a B20 vtec isnt any different than a LSvtec. B20 vtec with some forged high compression pistons and some nice cams and valve train will make great power.Deentwon said:lol
