Thinkin about doin the LS/VTEC swap
 

Well Im not going to be selling my 99EX now...personal choice. Anyways, would it be smart to do an LS/VTEC and swap out my Y8? I seen alot of poeple doing it and wanted some input. I would go with a B16, but a long block is hella $$$$. My PLAN was to assemble the engine gradually and once I have it all together , swap it in. But I would need to convert to manual trans and ---- too, and any input on the ECU since Im OBDII...

Just get a conversion harness for the ECU to OBDI, the manual swap isn't all that hard at all. A monkey with a flashlight could do it in an afternoon.

I'd just start collecting parts, its a pretty easy swap and once you felt a boosted B-series, your will never want to ---- around with a D again. The auto-manual swap is pretty straight forward, and your definatly going to need to get a jumper harness to go to obd1 =)

i'll need to get different motor mounts tho, correct?

Re: Thinkin about doin the LS/VTEC swap
 

Yes, Paul, you'll need different mounts.

I'd offer to go to wagner's with you to help you look for parts, but I'm banned for life from there. haha

I'm going to be building an N/A LS/Vtec for my fiance for next season. I may put it into my car, give her the ZC and do a full out 450hp build, but probably not!

Did they ban you from the ---- I did, or did you go back adn do something else? That guys a fucktard anyway.
