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?

See latest issue of Honda Tuning. B20/VTEC turbo'd, pushing some stupid amount of power that I don't remember off the top of my head.

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.

yea, im just wondering about the high compression ls vtec. Im doing high compression on my d an im planning on getting this block an building it the same over time.

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.

you can get 200+ whp from a good tune/built motor.

You will also find out if not built properly that a ls-v can be very unreliable especially if you get that itch to go turbo.

There just happens to be a thread on this very subject on this forum as well.
