Can’t stress enough the importance of watching and helping others with more experience in order to get your own experience. I’ve been doing all my own work on all my cars for over 20 years. Around 1999-2000 I started hanging out with people who were building Honda’s and learned a ton. I’ve owned my Integra almost 20 years now and it has never been to a mechanic for anything, not once. I’ve pulled motors, dropped transmissions and everything in between. I learned from helping, forums, and a huge thing has been factory service manuals, which for Honda’s are quite good. And of course nowadays UA-cam itself is also invaluable.
While I didn't learn anything new watching this, I appreciate you doing this. If people are willing to spend some time, videos like this can really help!
Nice ! I built mine just with UA-cam ,google, and money 💰. A lot of reading was involved and I also purchased a lot of tools that made the job easier. Lots and lots of research. I learned hands on and UA-cam . Can’t be scared
A way I learned almost everything I know to this day is UA-cam I pulled out my motor 3 times already. The first time I pulled it out was my b20 I took it off by parts you know head , trans then the block. Then I assembled my lsvtec and I did it right the first time I can’t believe I did that. Anyone can do it just need the proper tools. Now i need to learn how to assemble the block will use your video as reference hopefully I get it right
I never went to school for auto work and I just started off with watching UA-cam I learned how to change my own oil, then progressed to changing my spark plugs and ignition coils , and brake pads and rotors , eventually I started diagnosing cel , and when my ek had a blown head gasket I removed the head and got the head resurfaced and put it all back together . Inspiring to see your knowledge and awesome eg hatch 👌🏾
Yeah I have very little to pursue this kind of career/hobby but I know when I get an opportunity it’s going to be so much fun, I’ll get there. Huge inspiration, thank you
@@boosted_john Fell in LOVE with a 2 rotor and seeing how they’ve performed and I wouldn’t mind the extra wrenching to get it to work lmao i know the notoriety associated with rotaries but that’s make me really want to get into it. So dream build is a rotary swap
Man I'm glad I came across your chanel... I've been lately looking up honda civic builds and I really want to k swap one. I'm waiting to move into a house with a garage where I can work on stuff and when that day comes I will be getting a project civic. Thank you for your insperation and your experience!
What a phenomenal video. I’ve done a lot of big car projects and I’m now realizing how much I could benefit from a notebook😂 really good idea. I’m a senior in high school saving for an Acura Integra GSR. I currently have an RSX. I want to build a track focused integra. I was searching around at lsvtec engines just in case I went for an ls integra instead. What made you choose the lsvtec engine for your build? Thanks!
I have the same hatch with a b16sir and also have a ls vetch same as yours on my garage floor gsr trans trying to boos that one my eg is a 92si Canadian model si blue original color hopefully soon I will put some vid on this channel of it, your vid was very helpful thanks 💯👍👍👍
I was kind of the same way...I am the only person in my family that is "hardcore" into Car Modding & working on cars and knowing a lot about cars!...I don't know how that happened...I too got more inspired w/ cars after taking Auto Shop in High School too...I almost went to Mechanics School to become ASE Certified BUT for some reason I went a different Life Path....BUT I wish people would use GOOGLE & Internet more since its right at your finger tips to learn about working on cars etc...I know I use to be in A LOT of Car Forums learning how to do DIYs and stuff by myself vs. taking it to someone and paying the Labor Cost...Good for you for diving in and teaching yourself car shit!
People don't realize how important taking notes and planning is. I have pages in my phone's notes detailing everything I plan to do both my cars multiple years into the future. Even a preliminary plan for the drift car I don't own yet. As well as plans for my computer and driving sim setup.
You should make a video of your notebook and all your notes...would be a huge help. I recently got myself a 99 ex coupe with a stock full LS b18b1 and want to do a LSV turbo build.
Awesome video I’m planning on lsv turbo soon, I have the gsr head with an all stock motor to put into my del sol.. if you guys are super new my suggestion would also be join a Facebook group into your type of car.. I ask so many questions on the groups and get amazing help, definitely a great tool to have
Airsoft brings back a lot. Used to drill the pistons to make them lighter and shorter gear ratios with a super strong motor to make it shoot instantly and very responsive lmao. And LIPO batteries
Yo bro so I’m buying and lsv b18 block and b16 head and I need to put that in my 96 ls do I need to get new harness and new ecu and new distributor????? Really looking for a solid answer if you see this thanks in advance
Dude i dig your vids and love the rides. Its awesome to see a guy doing it at home and keeping it realistic. No BS or filler just real. Keep it up! I am working a 96 dx that i have a b18 replacement for that is stripped down to the block. I will be seeking parts. H-beams etc. I will deffinitely be hitting you up on IG. Wanna see about some BJ swag as well.=P I plan on recording my journey as well. I dont know jack as of yet about editing or YT uploads. Not sure ill even Tube it. Food for thought. Laters for now, Keep on keeping it legit!
i have an r18 on my civic lx coupe it’s stock af but man what should i start? i was an idiot... i misfired 1,2 ,4 i changed the ignition coils and spark plugs and the engine light went away... i think while just trying be fast with it i got a coolant leak and it overheats bad... my 02 sensor heats up bad and had to disconnect iy
Hey John. Just curious what head gasket you used for this build. Im about to slap my b16 head on and theres alot of different info out there. So what one did you use? Ls or b16. Vtec or non. Thanks bud.
Good tips!! When I was growing up(13-17 years old) I use to hang out in my brother in laws garage and would just watch him wrench and I would ask questions. When it was my time to swap my motor I feel like I had done it hundred of times by then. All through watching
Lol i use to modify my airsoft guns when i was younger lol i felt like i had the best class in call of duty lmao cus we use to go to airsoft fields that were like literally warzones
You dont need to be a mechanic, and you dont need to go to school to build a fast honda, you guys gotta understand that these motors are stupid easy to work on, also that they've been around for a long time to the point where you can learn how to do mostly everything on a honda motor with a simple Google search
@@boosted_john something about expensive parts with no gain in power that doesn’t interest me🤣 when I can have a built car for close to the same price haha
If you guys need ANY aftermarket car parts, please him on Instagram @boosted_john. I started working for a performance shop 🤙🏼
I’m tryna help you, you might need to edit this comment again lol, once you do... delete this comment 😂
Can you tell the entire parts list for ls v I’m wondering if I have something left out?

I'm in the process of building an LS/V and right now im about to send my block in for css
People don't realize how important taking notes and planning is. I have pages in my phone's notes detailing everything I plan to do both my cars multiple years into the future. Even a preliminary plan for the drift car I don't own yet. As well as plans for my computer and driving sim setup.
Now you just gotta commit, execute and attain your goals 😏
Thanks for the tips. Very helpful
Awesome video man. Can't want to you and Caleb summer2021
My civic has rod knock and this video helped me know where to start when seeing if I could fix it myself. Thank you
Glad it was helpful! What was the most helpful part?
@@boosted_john probably keeping the notebook cause its impossible to remember every step that I'll need to do throughout the process
You should make a video of your notebook and all your notes...would be a huge help. I recently got myself a 99 ex coupe with a stock full LS b18b1 and want to do a LSV turbo build.
Woah, woah, woah. You can make airsoft guns shoot way differently by modding them internally. I didn't spend years teching for nothing. :P
Lol just get a polar star and say GG
@@boosted_john Hahaha classic!
Badass bro

True words and good insight! 👏Patience is key, I’m a year into my B18c Integra build and I’ve only just scratched the surface.
That’s really the right way to do it. Good luck with your build brotha 🤙🏼

Hey bro I just got a 99 civic sedan lx for 400$ no title, should I keep it?
🔥
Hey John. Just curious what head gasket you used for this build. Im about to slap my b16 head on and theres alot of different info out there. So what one did you use? Ls or b16. Vtec or non. Thanks bud.
Crap. I actually can’t remember. I’m going to be replacing my head gasket soon and I’ll include it in a video when I do.

Idk but that outro made me tear up 😂😅
Hi John! 🤗 Xoxo LY ❤️
Why ls v leak oil so much? I replace my head gasget thinking VTEC solenoid gasket and maybe oil pan gasket next , shit pissing me off lol
Yes yes yes yes
yes
Look at your dms on Instagram please
John happy holidays!
I have a Mustang and an S2000; you ever thought of trying out something in the realm of v8s again?
I’d love to. I’m planning on getting back into it in the semi near future.
Hey John, what distributor is needed for lsv turbo?
Just get whichever one is needed for your cylinder head I think.
Also yall remember 4 minute tuesdays
Wtf it’s Fogle!! Aka McLovin Great video tho✍🏼🤙🏼
Yap yap yap yap
Fuck yeah bro big inspo
Plan plan plan and get yourself a Haynes repair manual.
Oh facts. I forgot about the Haynes Manual. That was like step 0
Lol i use to modify my airsoft guns when i was younger lol i felt like i had the best class in call of duty lmao cus we use to go to airsoft fields that were like literally warzones
I used to do that too. I had legit military gear and everything. It was fun.
if you made motivational/mental health videos and talked the way you told all of this you could totally do that very well
This is an interesting comment
i feel like so many of us start because of our dads man....
Dads really do be teachin us some snazzy stuff 🤙🏼
@@boosted_john i never liked hondas but my dad always did so he had to put me on when i was 16 lol

As corny as it may seem, the internet can help with your car build process a ton if you don’t have access to a person with the knowledge as well
Yes. 100% agree. There are a ton of forums and UA-cam videos that can help.
