Just a guess but depending on what kind of work you put into the head and what kind of deals you get you could spend between $800 and $2000 after the head. I'd say including the head you're looking at a minimum of about $13-$1500.

Call import auto salvage in Marion N.C if the cant help you go to ebay they have the ls v-tec conversion kit as well. The head will be the hard part to get. If you pay over 1000 for this conversion you might as well get a complete swap.

so if i purchase a vtec head, and a conversion kit. Is that all I am going to need to do the swap?! or do i still have to get the..
'94-'01 Integra GS-R water pump
'94-'01 Integra GS-R timing belt
'94-'01 Integra GS-R knock sensor

Yea. you shouldnt pay anywhere near 13-1500 man. You should wait till you get a good deal on a GSR head. I got a complete gsr head with dizzy, head rebuild kit, timing belt, ecu, intake manifold. I got all that for 490. Then you need a ls vtec kit. Anywhere from 100 to like 180. But Definitly dont spend over a grand.

and gsr waterpump< real cheap

[pelekeliko]

alright bro thanks sounds good!
basically im looking at purchasing a vtec head, with the conversion kit and all new GSR stuff. and ill be set?!?!

[teggy11]

Yea. I mean you could do a b16 head but its not as strong or the power of the gsr head. IF you go to ebay and type in ls vtec kit. It will bring up exactly what you need to do the swap. Gasket, sandwich plate, dowel pins, oil line kit, tap. All the good stuff to feel that nice vtec. lol

[pelekeliko]

haha alright. thanks for the help bro!
hopefully it all works out!

You don't need the water pump, And you could run a chipped p28 with conversion harness instead of a p72

[pelekeliko]

ok sorry if im being annoying but i want to get the exacts!
i dont wanna take everything to my friends shop expecting to get started then im missing something.
1. GSR vtec head
2.conversion kit
3.obd2 dohc water pump
4.obd2 oil pump
anything else?!...
oh and another question.
when i purchase the conversion kit!
what is it asking when it asks you to specify,
81.00 mm?
82.00 mm?
and so on!!!

[holloway]

You dont need the water or oil pump. 81mm is the size of the pistons and that is the gasket you want. Honestly if the guy that is doing this doesnt know this you might want to get some that has done it before
