I know but sarcasm can go too far, it was just a simple question by someone who really…didnt know the answer i was just as confused by it so i figured someone here could clear it up for me. didnt say " please be an ass and make sarcastic commments , that will help me so much, thanks !
maybe he is helpful but saying " search " doesnt do me alot of good because ive read alot of threads and none answered my question.
I dont have to justify how helpful I am to you or anyone else. The original poster is obviously in way too deep. Many many years ago (like 1999) before most of you were around I spent many a night , lunchbreak , or free time searching and reading g2ic before posting anything. You can literally fit what I know about certain aspects of this car into a thimble compared to what others know BUT I do know that you learn a world of things by searching the boards here and elsewhere online. If you were to search for turning vtec off and NOTHING came up then it might be safe to assume that vtec engines in most cases can be turbo charged. I said 3 fucking words , my trademarked WOW JUST WOW and I’m public enemy #1. 99% of people on this site cant fucking stand me and to them I say go fuck yourselves. To 1% of people that actually understand that this is the internet I am honored to call you friends.

I think I can safely say that I understand you. It’s true though, at first glance you kind of come off as a dick, but after reading TONS of threads containing information from you, I realized you are quite knowledgeable AND have a pretty funny sense of humor! I respect you very much, and when I see the famous “wow just wow” it cracks me up. This guy getting mad is kind of my fault. Without me, he might not have known the significance of wow just wow and simply disregaurded it.
forget ls vtec turbo, just lower it and get 1 pieces!!! no jk though, it seems that you don’t know so i wouldnt do turbo or ls vtec, you might blow something and wont be able to drive.
heheh dont worry I have no issue with you , as I noticed you obviously got the joke when you quoted my wow just wow lol. If I was worried about every noob I ever pissed off I’d spend all day online typing replies and sending out autographed pictures hehehe

First of all… no matter how well done, LS/Vtec will never be as reliable as the LS. The longest ive ever heard an LS/V lasting is 40k. that was on a boosted and sleeved car btw.
If u want vtec, buy a vtec motor.
LSv does not equal reliablility
wow just wow
mattv - I don’t know very much about motors, but my advice to you is this: Before you spend any of that money, do a lot of reading. Educate yourself on the project you are about to undertake. You will inevidably save yourself a lot of money and some headaches if you go into it with knowledge on your side.
Junkman - two in one thread?? C’mon man, you can’t just hand those things out like candy on halloween. If you do inflation will rise
If built right, and driven half way sane a good amount of the time, a LSVtec will be just as reliable as any honda motor. The key there beying BUILT RIGHT and DRIVEN HALF WAY SANE. No ebay junk rings or ACL bearings, and you don’t need a 9k redline that you hit every shift on your way to 7-11 to get eggs.
junkman… U say that… and? what is ur counter-attack i would like to hear it. I have had experience with them. i have seen a lot that are done. Some are nicer than others. No matter how well it is done Golden eagle will never be as reliable as OEM Honda. this is my PERSONAL expereince. Soo… Fuck u buddy!
I’m not your buddy asshole. You’re the idiot that claims to build engines but you dont know what detonation is (please dear god dont make me quote you this could get ugly) or what the finned lines infront of the radiator are for (again for your own good I wont dig anything up just so you can leave this thread with a SHREAD of dignity). I also have experience with LS/vtecs. OMG thEjUnKmAn speaks of something honda related??? Yes I do. Many years ago before there was such thing as LS/Vtec kits, a buddy of mine picked up an issue of sport compact car (white 96-00 civic on the cover if I’m not mistaken top fuel turbo vtec , it also had the biggest swap guide ever compiled I want to say late 99 early 00) that had an article about the “Frankenstien B series engine”. The article gave quick run through of how to build a basic LS/Vtec. Essentially what you need to machine and where to add the oil line and what size. My friend took the b18c1 out of his 92 civic hatch , took the head off . I sourced him a block from one of my local junkyard hookups. He sent the block out to be hot tanked and inspected. Got the block back and took the block , head and magazine to a machine shop so they could follow the instructions in the magazine. A day later he had everything he needed , done correctly by machine shop again before there were any 'Kits" on the market. The engine then found its way back into the 92 hatch. After the hatch was totaled in a rear hit 5 months later , it was swapped into a crx , a year later into a 94 civic sedan and its final resting place was into yet another 92 civic hatchback. The engine wasnt raced but it did spend many of its miles delivering chinese food and driving from NJ to Queens , NY almost daily. When my friend sold the hatch in 2004 he had clocked roughly 80k miles on the engine, mind you he bought the b18c1 6 years earlier and it had an “estimated” :roll: 35k miles on it. So lets do the math unknown block miles + unknown head miles + not abusing your car + doing it right the first time + properly maintaining a car + the engine was running strong when he sold the car - your stupidty - the fact that you keep records on every LS/vtec ever built = You dont know what the fuck you’re talking about as usual.
This is more than worthy. Little bitches who want to come onto the playground and talk shit need to be reminded who’s mother fucking sandbox they’re sitting in.

BLASPHEMY!
and fuck you junky :giggle:
lemme throw two nuts
I agree that if you build the motor properly, tune properly, and drive without the insane need of speed, then the engine will see a long life. Keep in mind that when you turbocharge, you will have to maintain it a bit more than you would a NA setup (correct me if i’m wrong).

Keep in mind that the tuning of the ECU plays a big and important role in the reliability of an engine setup - be it OEM or aftermarket equipped.
“Tepid1” from Team-Integra.net is testing the stock sleeves of a b18c1 with the goal of 600+hp. This guy gives incredible information on tuning methods; I believe he’ll achieve the goal of holding his sleeves up while producing insane power.
It’s all in the tuning, mindset, and build.

Yes when you turbocharge an engine its an “ongoing project” especially on an engine that didnt come turbocharged from the factory ,and in the case of an LS/vtec, an engine that wasnt orginally designed by the manufacturer. Making blanket statements about ls/vtecs , unless you have data on every single one ever built, is pretty pointless as there is no way to account for every single one. Its safe to say that is possible that someone on this planet has a turbo charged ls/vtec with some decent miles under its belt. Maybe this person isnt a member of his board or has no internet access. It a question that cant be answered.

my friend had the same issue (it was december of 2000) i believe. it had everything from like 81 preludes all the way up to the 2000 integra type-r and damn near LITERALLY everything in between. he copied the couple of pages that covered and gave it to me, but i have since lost it. i’ve been looking for it for some time now. he gave that to me like 5 years ago, it was the first time i had ever heard of a b17.
ive never claimed to build an engine. LOL if i did. I have replaced a head gasket once, parted out a car, built my own turbo kit, and ridden in a few cars.
i have been in the “scene” for about a year. Yea i am a noob. Yea i’ve gone to HT meets and seen LS/v’s that shouldnt even be able to run. I have ridden in 476whp Ls/v Regardless of what i have said i Know that i dont know everything.
u say----My friend took the b18c1 out of his 92 civic hatch , took the head off . I sourced him a block from one of my local junkyard hookups. He sent the block out to be hot tanked and inspected. Got the block back and took the block , head and magazine to a machine shop so they could follow the instructions in the magazine. A day later he had everything he needed , done correctly by machine shop
Im sure that everyone has the $ to sent the head out to get it machined. Most LS/v’s are garage jobs nothing machined or anything at all. And how many miles did it last?
Like i said. LS/v will never be as reliable than OEM vtec. How many LS/v’s last 220k. Im sure ur friend’s did.
And for the Good of the thread’s intentions…Ls/vtec+turbo is not the best idea for reliability. buy a b16 and do turbo.
omg this is gonna go on forever… b16 and turbo it? yo so whats your point man?
you know what don’t answer that
hell no those shits never last they always always blow up!!! just do the right thing and turbo the ls dont do the frankenstine vtec turbo. sell the head and have ls block sleeved and get some good rods and some dish pistons so you can run higher boost rather than putting the head on and turbo and only running max 6 pounds. you want boost do the right thing built it for boost. and yes you can run vtec with boost if its a vtec not a frankenstine!!! than you just do the same to that block! and not have to worry about throwing a rod. i hate ls vtecs!!! :mad: :gunleft:
