This is my first post! I have a 1996 Integra LS and I'm wanting to do an LS/vtec build. Any suggestions? What else will I need besides the vtec head? sensors, pcm, etc...? Just curious cause I want to know what I'm getting myself into.

If you google how to ls/vtec there are many builds..you need head, ecu, theres an ls vtec kit. Many on here will advise against it because there are many issues with the reliability of that build. Good luck whichever route you take.

Im currently doing a b20 vtec build. Its not as easy as people think. you cant just slap a head on a non vtec block and hope its reliable you need a lot of stuff dont expect to spend less than 1k for a lsvtec, b20vtec build.

Its your choice and ls/v can make good power, its just easier to go with a full gsr or b16 build.

why are people doing these swaps when these swaps will never run right?? vtec was never meant for a b20 or ls... give it 3 month and you'll have a hole in your block.. yes although i do understand that it's fast and alll but it wont run right.. get it? save ur money and just do something legit...

if you poor enough time and money and is done right i bet its ok but since the b18b1 block isnt good with high rpms and you put a head that is good with high rpms then youd want to poor money into internals for your block.
personally i think its dumb to do ls-vtec
makes more sence to buy a complete b18c1 engine

you can make a reliable one if you put money into it, ie block guards, rod bolts etc.
