First i know this has been asked a million times. I have a b18a1 motor and i want to make it vtec. It has high compression pistons when it was rebuilt. What else do i need? What type of vtec heads will fit on my b18a1?
Ls vtec, what do I need?

you can use any b series vtec head. Get a vtec head kit, should include your fittings, arp headstuds, headgasket, etc. You'll need an ecu that you can run your vtec from so you might need to convert to obd1 for that, which isnt very hard. I would actually suggest getting a shorter geared trans as well

the b16's have a shorter deck so you're gonna need a b16 timing belt if you go that route.

Huh? You're saying if he uses a b16 head for LSV he needs a b16 timing belt??the b16's have a shorter deck so you're gonna need a b16 timing belt if you go that route.
Get a GSR timing belt for LSV.

Fuck that rule. If it's a legit question they have that isn't covered 600 times a week, I can understand.You beat me to it!

People act like the SEARCH button doesn't appear on the screen for 500 posts or 6 months, which ever comes first.:roll:

I totally 100% agree..whoever made that stupid rule anyways? I disagree with it but I don't want to disrespect our rules and piss off the mods.Fuck that rule. If it's a legit question they have that isn't covered 600 times a week, I can understand.

Anyways, like what's his^^ name said, for LS/V a GSR timing belt should be used. Along with the GSR water pump. The stock LS pieces can be used, but the belt would be a little too loose and it's deflection would be way out of spec.
If you're cheap or on a super SUPER tight budget, you can get away with the LS pieces, and I wouldn't recommend it,the motor would be much more reliable with the GSR parts.
