LS/Vtec swap

[KA-T_240]

i am not a honda person by anymeans, i am trying to help a friend do a ls/vtec swap in to his 91 civic SI. Is there any good how to articles anywhere on how to do this?

Thanks

should be just like putting in any B-series if i'm not mistaking... honda-tech is prolly your best bet as far as how-to's go

just pay me the money and it will be done right not ghetto at all... i can have it done in 2 days.. maybe even 1 day

but if the guy is on a tight budget it makes it hard to fork out money for something like putting a motor in...(or several just normal labor things)...I know it first hand.

Honda tech has like, any and all info for like, every honduh thing that's ever been done and even more. I mean look at half the people on here, they look at honda tech, and instantly have a 8 second, totally legal, fwd street car Honda. Woot! Vtech FTMFW!

Cliff notes: www.honda-tech.com, and search for LS/VTECH.

Hmm I've probably done more swaps on here than most and last I checked the LS/VTEC swap isn't really like any other B series swap being the block is missing a certain oil passage to the head....

Jon didn't say this, but it has already been assembled. All he needs to do is put it in... pretty sure I can figure it out tomorrow.

^ I told him it was a better idea to call you then me, i did what i could

honda tech FTL.

he needs to wire the knock sensor, vtech, and one other thing cant remember, is it pretty much run wires from the ECU to where they go, that is my though( and do all the other junk needed with wiring)

[Joel]

No, completely wrong. He needs to get the Si harness fitted onto the motor, put it in, and then wire vtec later... I will be attempting tomorrow, we'll see how she works...

[integra_gsr98]

Haha or you could take it somewhere that's done it!

[Joel]

I haven't heard of any Ef b series swaps coming out of anywhere other than tintmasters...

[KA-T_240]

^around here at least.

and on that subject, whats wrong with learning to do stuff your self.

[integra_gsr98]

I have put B series motors into 3 EFs and they weren't at Tintmasters...

[DrifterExtreme]

um joel wire everything on the motor then put it in.. trust me it is easier and will be more hiden... ask bryce if my wireing looks factory? and joel sence when have you become good at wireing? I remember having to rewire/fix alot of your shit on your cars..

[DrifterExtreme]

I have done 2 b series swaps in ef's and 1 in an eg...

[Joel]

I didnt say I was good, I said I was going to attempt...

[SPANISH-RICE]

i wouldnt want someone to "attempt" anything on my motor... this person is ok with you teaching yourself how to do this on his car? experience owns...

TPS and MAP sensor backward FTW!

Pretty sure EVERYONE does that heath... Simple mistake... How can I really fuck something up putting a wiring harness on... Pretty sure I got it on just fine...
