B18 vs B16

[tricktoyz14]

Ive got a B18 with the s1 tranny in my 1989 crx,
and a B18 with a blown head gasket with an A1 tranny in a 91 integra,
and i just bought a B16 with an LX tranny with the computer,
and i dunno what i wanna do with it.
i know i want to keep my S1 tranny in my crx.
but, i dunno if i wanna put the B16 in my integra or the crx.
or if i should put the good B18 in the integra and then take the B18
with the blown head gasket and put the B16 head on it to make a
frankestine motor.
im just askin opinions on what to do here.
i want the crx to the a fast kinda street racing car..
cause its already stripped down with a roll cage..
but i also want the inegra to be quick.. but itll be
a more everyday car..

do lsvtec in the crx but plz build it the right way tho...

 

[tricktoyz14]

what do you mean the right way?
how exactly do you make the ls vtech?
i know its the b16 head on the b18.
but what all else do i have to do

its not lsvtecH its vtec..and to build it right you need the conversion dowels,the right headstuds,the right gasket and a proper way to oil the head.also the right tune...you shoulf upgrade the rod bolts to accomodate higher revs,but its not a must

 

[ls/vtechatch91]

rod bolts r pretty much a must.... there only like 50 bucks... plus get rid of the ls pistons put in b16 pistons or ctr's it if u plan on goin n/a...

 

[tricktoyz14]

what conversion dowels?
what all would i need to buy, or get done to put the vtech head on the b18?
would i need the head gasket for the B16 or b18?
and rod bolts, what kind? ive got the computer off the b16,
is that the right tune?
or different computer needed?

It's vtec. Not vtech. Vtech makes phones.
