Check the torque specifications at the bottom of our LS VTEC build page to see what you should be torquing the sensors to. Because this leg will hit the VTEC solenoid, and only one bolt will truly line up. Once you have your LS VTEC build assembled, make sure to use the proper break in techniques to ensure a long life and proper ring seating. Leave them for us below and let us know! All fuel system component been upgraded even the injectors to RCcc. Need to know what are my options are for SMOG.
Hi Musa, BAR legal Honda engine swaps are definitely pretty easy to do, and it really depends on your ref. My recommendation is to try looking for a friendly ref in your area that may be more lenient than others. Take your P75 ECU in and speak to the ref about what might be wrong with your swap if he turns you down. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. Learn how your comment data is processed.

The most reliable way is to run it straigt from the oil pump itself on the upper right where the beg hex head is.
Run the line to the 4 cylinder side of the head about cam height where the oil passage to the vtec solenoid. An oil pump is good but not necessary. Couldn't hurt to get a new one while you have it apart. The main order of business in the bottom end is the weakness of the ls bock and it not liking high rpms. If you have a vtec water pump then use a vtec timing belt, if you are using the Ls water pump then you will need the Ls belt.
Buy honda and save yourself some headaches. More money in this case will save you some heartache in the future unless you like having a ported and polished bottom end if you know what I mean. The rod bolts are also weaker in the Ls which will need to be improved upon or buy aftermarket rods. They have some good girdles on ebay If you would like to buy one. If you go the girdle route, you will need to buy Gsr main bolts for the 3 middle caps, a gsr windage tray, gsr oil pickup tube, and a gsr oil pan.
A good upgrade if you plan on spinning some rpms and making some power. If you have no engine management then stay in the Anything else will need some management and will still run off of 93 octane which most people don't usually do.
Shot peening your LS rods is one strategy you can use to strengthen them. After-market forged pistons and rods are a much better option as you only want to build this once. Paying a few hundred extra in prevention is worth thousands if a piston goes flying through your block. The stock OEM rings are perfect, and as long as you don't over-bore the motor there is no reason to use anything other than Honda OEM rings.
Others prefer to use Hastings piston rings. If you plan to use a turbo, low-compression pistons will help you make more power, however, I am writing this with the assumption you plan to stay naturally aspirated.
For an all-motor compression, you will want high-compression pistons to get the most advantage from your cams. Don't rely on what compression the piston manufactures claim the pistons will make. Instead, do the math. The actual compression can be very different in any build than the advertised compression. Replace these with ARP bolts to safely withstand the much higher rpm's your motor will be seeing. Also, have your rod ends resized to better fit your new rod bolts.
It is recommended by ARP and is worth the extra money. Many people have found ACL to work just as well as Honda bearings and they cost less. Once you have all of the parts together you will need to have them assembled. At this point, you will also want to have a machine shop balance the rotating assembly. This is also a good time to have the crankshaft polished and knife-edged. Now that you have your head and block ready, it is time to actually put it all together and have an operational motor.
After going through so much time and money to build this Frankenstein motor, you are going want to make sure it lasts a long time. A proper break-in and engine tuning are required to make sure your motor lasts.

In this article I will assume that you have read our recommended parts list , you have an understanding of engine building, you own a Helm's or equivalent manual, and you have the parts you need for the minimum in my opinion build.
An engine stand is a nice tool to have, it is not necessary but it is very helpful. Forged pistons would be better, but if you can afford them B16 pistons will work well. New piston rings. Honda rings work well, or you can use your preferred aftermarket. Cam gears brand is up to you, some folks have had trouble with AEM gears slipping, after replacing the bolts, I have had no trouble with my AEM gears.
An LS one will work with some serious modifications, but this is not a good idea. This means you have to run the GSR timing belt. ARP rod bolts. If you are using LS rods this is not a must, but it is a damn good idea. ARP head studs. They hold better than stock and you don't run the risk of destroying the threads in the block every time you pull the head. You want the studs for the B18C1.
