SWAP: b18 into 93 4dr, dx help and suggestions

[5thgen4dr]

i am puting a b18 b1 blck with grs head into my 4 door. I've never done it before. just wondering if anyone has any suggestions or heads ups for me. thanks guys.

dont do the ls/vtec if you've never done it before. do the straight ls first. if you really really need vtec afterwards, then do the head swap.

unless you build the motor LS/VTEC is useless

nice car. make sure everything is done right. my boy did an ls/vtec twice and each one only lasted a few months cuz he raced too hard and a little something always f**ked up. then he did the crv block thing (forgot the name) and he's one of the fastest sedans in town. good luck bro.

Yeah... an LS/Vtec can be completely unreliable unless you know how to build it up right. It will be a lot better if you just stuck with a complete swap instead. (more reliable, easier to build up, cheaper probably)

Either stick with the B18B or save up some more money and get a real B18C before you screw yourself in the ass because you didn't do a proper LS/VTEC swap.
