is it possible? my transmission is automatic will i still get the performance out of the engine.

so basicly the idea is turbo + vtec? as the kit on the orignal post mentioned from kms performance that whole thing comes with the block guard.and as for engine life.. how long has your 18psi friend been running that engine.as for the vtec turbo setup, would the best bet on thoes tunes, generally to have the vtec point switch over during turbo spool?If the turbo spools at 3k would you want vtec to come on shortly after that?ive just heard that having vtec along with a turbo is just another bag of worms to tune.I think your going a little too fast for yourself right now. The whole cam thing is your choice and depending on where you stand with vtec or not u can go from there. A few good cam choices for boost include gsr cams or typer or aftermarket of your choice. Crower seems to be popular and shows great results for the ls guys builds ive read. The whole boring thing is fine but you dont need the service manual for the b18a to have someone bore the block for you. As for bore sizes anything from stock 81mm to 84 seems to be a good choice and you could go more if you really desire. I dont see why your goals cant be reached on stock or 81.5mm bore which are very easy to find pistons for also. Before you just throw on a part because it comes with you kit i highly advise to read about it. I have heard bad stories about block guards but ill leave that research to you. As for sleeving the block unless your stock sleeves are cracked or look unusable its not necessary to do unless again its your preference and want that piece of mind of having a sleeved block. Do me a favor and either list on here or pm me exactly how much boost hp what kind of spool you want etcand then ill give you a better idea of what i think you should do but i honestly think from what im reading you need to keep doing your homework which is good before you build a serious engine like your talking about doing.

havent heard of that swap for an accordH22 vtechor H23 would be a better fit

Honestly, no. First off ,B18 VTECs (known as b18Cs) were only available as manual tranny cars so you'll have to research that first off. Another thing to consider is that a B18 has less torque than the larger displacement F22 your car currently has. Boosting it would be great for the B18C but why not get similar results with an N/A built H22 for the same price? The H22 is a better fit and you know that you can still keep it an automatic. Also, with the N/A engine, you have more reserve power waiting if you decide to add a turbo kit later.

Vtec! Variable Timing and Electronic Lift Control. You would not want to swap in an Integra motor into your Accord. Stick with modifying you current motor or go with a Prelude motor. If you want vtec stick in an h22 from the Prelude. The head doesn't breathe as well as your current SOHC head does but it does rev much higher. And will be much easier to turbo because of the very low compression. Also you current transmission will bolt straight onto the h22 motor if you want to stick with an auto transmission. To switch to a manual you will need to reweld a new manual transmission mount. For more info lurk the www.cb7tuner.com forums.

it will convert over with no problem
