- Fri Aug 06, 2010 3:16 pm #207674 I found a b18b block at a junk yard, an i was wondering if i put a vtec head with high compression what whp would i be capable of?

I'm guessing you know it's not as simple as slapping the head on the block and bam you're making power. Based on your post count, you have probably seen the numerous LS/VTEC threads on this site, and probably across the interzweb.

- Sun Aug 08, 2010 6:06 pm #208001 LS/VTEC can be a great thing, but it has it's many headaches. I've got a dream to build a 250whp NA LS/VTEC monster, but it's going to take a lot of time and money.

Your basic LS/VTEC (stock LS bottom end, stock GSR head, header, intake, exhaust, and maybe Skunk2 intake manifold) can net around 150-170whp.

That all depends on your compression ratio, fuel, and tuning maps, of course.
