IT'S DONE! (almost) - LS-VTEC Build Part 2

- čas přidán 3. 06. 2024
- Hey guys, today I am finishing the second half of my LS-VTEC engine build. In this part, I am putting the head on the block, getting the timing components set up as well as the vtec conversion kit. Then I try to put as many of the little things together as I can before getting the engine in the car.
Placing the engine in the car, and getting the engine bay ready for it will take place in a future video!

Thanks for the content! Glad to see people still messing with B series. I have b18c jdm and 1 b18a1 usdm non vtec and am alway happy to see young generations wrenching on old motors
I've found the B series to still be very popular, and I have had a great time working on this one. This is my first opportunity to mess with one. Thanks for the comment!
Thank you so much for keeping this Frank alive🔥🔥
It's an interesting swap for sure!
ARP head studs/nuts torque to 80 lbs ft. The spec you used is for OEM bolts. Built quite a few and no problems. Currently running 20 lbs of boost with no lifting. Just some info for ya.
Nice I'm excited to see where I can push this engine! Thank you

Nice job on the video. Keep it up!
Thank you!
Great video! Just subscribed 👌🏽!
Thanks man!
Tip on installing the headstud washers.. slide them over a long phillips screwdriver, hold finger on washer until tip of screwdriver is on top of stud and release.
*When you Torque the head bolts and it goes Green/Beeps/Clicks..STOP
*Spray brake parts cleaner on head and block surface before HG install. *Don't* spray anything on MLS head gaskets and be careful not to drop the head onto the block, they're a crush once gasket.
⭐ Congratulations on your first motor assembly ✌️
Thanks for the info. I'll definitely use it on my next build in the future 👍
Nice🔥💪👍💯
Thank you 🙏
Can you run stock cam gear on a stock b18a1 with b16 head and having perfect timing and performance?
Epic
It's pretty cool I have to admit
Nice video. Next time it is easier to sit head on block first then install studs.
Good to know. I never thought about that
do you have the build list for both bottom end and top end? I'm also interested in doing LSVtec
I don't yet but I can get it for you
Which hole did you plug on the head?
Sorry for being late, here is a forum post with a picture a few replies down on the hole that needs plugged. honda-tech.com/forums/honda-crx-ef-civic-1988-1991-3/ls-vtec-help-3047946/
Hi bro may i know what kind you spray for head gasket
The spray is something like head gasket copper coat or copper spray a gasket
Take a look at Burton racing or BTO (better tuning option) coil on plug it's ur absolute best reliability mod especially with an aftermarket distributor ask me how I know lol I absolutely love my b series I've got 4 currently I will say the only other thing is make sure to get a newer ecu like link or haltech or fuel tech bc even after going through a 23yr plus stock ecu it can give u issues like loosing the tune spots in the tune u can't fix.
I have had tons of bad experience with aftermarket dizzys on multiple different engines, I feel you there. As for ECU I agree unfortunately. The old ones just seen to die or degree overtime. I'm planning to run a hondata I have and just pray it didn't break
@@evolvinginterests so the BTO cop kit is 200$ without coils and the burton-racing cop kit is 335$ coils are 90$ or under so you should move that direction after you get it in the car as for tuning the hondata will be fine just be prepared for odd tune issues ect I've only recently gone to a stand alone simply bc of the safety features that can be used to help from destroying your hard work like failling wide bands and coolant temp sensors ect while also allowing you to utilize multiple engines and combos ect but I get it 1000 to 2000 for an ecu seems like a big deal and it is but definitely something to consider in your future again once it's running ect anyway love to see the build bud excited for the rest to come
I'll have to look into that then and see what I can do. Thanks for the support, I'm planning on dropping the engine in this weekend
What size for valve adjustment intake exhaust
I don't remember off the top of my head but if you Google the engine you're doing and the procedure there will be a good post or website on how and what measurements
Your fine on head stud. I have done the same thing on all 3 B series I builds head bolts . Same on the ford 3.7 cyclone I just built for my 12 Mustang. Great video looking forward to hearing it run
I figured it wouldn't be a big deal because I wasn't really putting too much load on them. I'm trying to get it back in the car and ready to go within the next month!
Your not suppoded to use yhere lube on the bottom ofvthe headstud it can crack your block only supposed to use it if the stud holes are in thr water jacket's
I'm sorry.....but I'd really like to know who gave you a mechanic certificate.as soon as I see that freaking orange can of blown head gasket in a bottle I'd be taking my car somewhere else.holy shit😂
🤪
Yoo how much did this project cost you?
I'm going to ball park it around ~2.5k for all parts and machine work. I can do a better prices break down on video later if you'd like.
Bice video I'm in the same process but using boost it's kind off tricky but the best way to do engine its doing notes and videos you got it bro the second one its more easy 👍 👌🫱🙏✍️🧠💪
For sure man thanks for the comment!
