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...

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