Building a 9 Second LS VTEC Engine for My Honda Civic

Поділитися

  • Опубліковано 22 жов 2023
  • Last winter I secretly started rebuilding my fully built LS VTEC engine for my Honda Civic hatch. Now the built B Series is finally finished and going into the turbo Civic. In todays video, I build the motor from the bare LS lock up. Then I transfer over all the parts needed from the stock GSR motor (rest in peace). Lastly, I install the newly built motor into the Honda Civic hatchback, fire it up and take it for its first VTEC rips around the block.
    Yes I kept it NA in this video, but it will be going back to turbo in the next video or two. Very excited to feel some real power again.

    Once the engine goes in, runs well and makes the power you want. AWD is next! Love the cinematography and music at the start😂

    I’m pretty sure the LS engines use a longer stroke than the GSR and ITR engines, which is is why it makes more torque

    Great to see a B16 Turbo Build ! You say a B16 LS what is that type is that? I have a B16A2.
    Where did you find what lubricants you need for what type of use and the torque numbers of the bolts?
    Witch Manley Rods did you choose -> H-Beam or Turbo tuff?
    CP Pistons -> Compression Ratio?

    it's important to check for oil clearance and tolerance on the built engine. But that being said, i've also seen these built engines last without a proper clearance checked during assembly hahaha.

    Sweet video and build. I'm wanting to build a b18 but I'm seeing builds with mixed heads and blocks and still don't really know the difference between Ls vetc and vetc on a B18 engine. I'm really looking at the b18c1 to build. I'm still learning and trying to find the best B18 setup for a 500-600whp daily/track. Does anyone have any advice?
