Re: ls/vtec
 

I went to NOPI this past weekend and I talked to this one guy and he said ---- all b-series get a k20 and turbo it.

Re: ls/vtec
 

I don't suppose there was any reasoning behind this?

Unless his goal was to spend alot of money, in that case...... good job.

Re: ls/vtec
 

Oh, my. Massive VTEC.

Re: ls/vtec
 

just buy the head off him, and use ur b18b bottom end, throw in some forged pistons and rods, slap on the b16 head and turbo that bitch

Re: ls/vtec
 

I have heard that the K series ports are larger stock than the B series will ever be ported to the extreme, but due to the fact that everything about a K costs 3x more than a B, go with the B ;). Turbo the existing Ls, then when your ready to move up in the turbo world(or blow that setup, which ever comes first), save up the $$$.$$ and when you pull it all apart to put the Ls/Vtec setup together put in the Forged Internals as well ;).

I got bad news.............that guy that was selling me the ls/vtec passed away :'( . He was working on his 97 coupe that was converted to SI. He has a B16a in it. Well anyway he was taking out the block to get it tapped because the motor mount was stripped. So he had to get under his car to take a bolt loose and when he did it fell on him. I wasn't their to help because I was at nopi. He already dropped the LS/VTEC off at my house and everything, he didn't have any family or anything so I don't know what to do with the money that I was going to buy the motor with. I'm thanking about giving it to his g/f but idk. What do you think I should do??????? :-\

Re: ls/vtec
 

I'd give it to his g/f.

Re: ls/vtec
 

poor guy

give the girl something else, like......have u seen wedding crashers

Re: ls/vtec
 

this is the worst ---- i ever heard man. i always wondered what it would feel like if the car tipped n fell =x i thought maybe hurt a grip with broken bonez but not dying. wonder who found him n what that persons reaction was like :o

Re: ls/vtec
 

His g/f was under the car first and she couldn't get the bolt loose. So he had to get under there and when he did (he was in a bad mood because he didn't get to go to nopi) he said i hope this car falls on me and i die........then he ask his g/f to get him a wrench so while she was looking for one thats when the car fell. She heard the car fall so she turned around and he was kicking and trying to get the car off of him self but he couldn't so she ran out to the road and and flagged someone down but it took like 2 or 3 min. because he lives in the middle of no where. any way they get the car off of him and give him cpr (he was blue from the chest up) while the ambulance was on there way. but it was to late. When the car fell on him it crushed his chest and he couldn't breath, but when they took the car off of him his lungs started filling up with blood so there was really nothing they could do. I found out that he was using a honda car jack and it wasn't all the way on the ground and also he was in gravels. There was like 50 or 60 imports that came to his funeral and we all burnt the tires leaving (thats what he would have wanted). A week before all this happened we where talking about our biggest fears and he told me that his biggest fear is being under a car and that he wouldn't care of dying any way but suffication :'(
