Does anyone have any info on changing a 92 LS to a V-Tech by leaving the block alone and just adding it to the top half of the engine. I purchased the LS with this plan already in mind (I had heard it was a good way to get 200HP out of the LS without replacing the entire engine)but I just want to see if its been done before? if the result is worth it? and if its safe to do to the engine without having to worry too much about repairs.

You can get a VTEC head to fit a non-VTEC block and vise-versa. However, if you don't accomodate for the VTEC oil passages, you won't be able to take advantages of VTEC. VTEC uses the oil pressure to slide the camshaft over. Look into deeper on the hybrid board.<br><br>Are you trying to get 200 HP out of your Gen 2 with or without forced induction (ie turbo or super charger). I've got almost 200 at the wheel in my 92 GS-R hybrid. But it wasn't cheap. I started with a B18C5 (Type-R) block and a port-and-polished head, crower cams, ITR intake manifold, Spoon header, custom exhaust, Apex-i VFC controller and re-done ECU.<br><br>It's completely safe to push these engines to 200HP NA, if done properly.<br><br>Mike
