lol, if you think you can build a lsvtec correctly with quality parts for that much then try, lol, i believe he is asking 1500 for the motor and its basically brand new with ALL new gaskets, seats, bearings, everything.
back on topic,make sure your block is good,and try to keep it under 8k rpmegfanatic said:lol, if you think you can build a lsvtec correctly with quality parts for that much then try, lol, i believe he is asking 1500 for the motor and its basically brand new with ALL new gaskets, seats, bearings, everything.

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.

ls/vtec= unreliable!

This whole unreliable thing is silly. Only way it will be unreliable is if you cut corners and dont put it together right. If you dont have alot of money dont even think about trying to put a lsvtec together to quickly. Just save up and by parts one at a time. Get a clean complete LS block and then buy a nice lsvtec oil line kit for the conversion. Use a oem honda headgasket and some nice arp headstuds to bolt the head to the block. Also you wanna use arp rod bolts so that you wont have any trouble when revving to 8000k rpms. You will also need the vtec water pump and timing belt and i would go ahead and use a vtec oil pump just to be safe. Do all this and it will last forever.
dam man shit you miss one thing if you want to go over 8k rpmchromesilver6 said:This whole unreliable thing is silly.

i no itll take a while but if i can get it done right and reliable and powerful.. ill spend months on it
Do what?? I dont understand what youre trying to say. A stock b18c or b16 redlines at 8200k rpm. The stock LS blocks rev out about 6500 to 7k max. To be safe at 8k you need to do the 10mm Arp road bolts to hold it all together..T3AM SPOTLIT3 said:dam man shit you miss one thing if you want to go over 8k rpmchromesilver6 said:This whole unreliable thing is silly.
