Hello my name is Dustin,

ive been in the honda game for quite some time and i can tell you one thing that ever sence i grown out of it and still get into it every now and than it seems like the whole honda industry is growing by the minute!

im here to help with any relavent questions, or what tipically happen's to the average honda on the streets today!

now that the honda's are out spreaded the east and west coast, its almost impossible to (NOT) find parts for them!

most now-a-days thing to do to a Honda no matter wat make or model, is a engine swap!

most commenly taking a single cam engine and transforming it into a dual cam engine there both 4 cylinder engines but, the 2 cams insted of one produces a little more power and torque,depending on which you prefer!, some people like single cam motors, the single and dual cam engines are commenly called by the letter and numeral terms

for example:

B-serious engines are dual cam motors

B16a1 (dual cam shaft) vtec

below you will see what you will find on a b16 or a d15 even a gsr which is a b18c1


the non-vtec engines wont have a v-tec solenoid or pressure switch which engages it


if you get confused and want to know if its non vtec or vtec compatible just look for this!




























D-serious engines are Single cam motors D-15 (single cam)




http://www.nonvtec.com/ <<<---- for you non v-tec guys/girls








now i can get into alot of detail, but im going to put the basics out there first for people that dont know alot about the most growing vehicle and popular vehicle out there!








(B) & (D) serious BOTH come with (V-TEC) and now what (V-TEC)


VTEC (which stands for Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) is an electronic and mechanical system in some Honda engines that allows the engine to effectively have multiple camshafts. As the engine moves into different rpm ranges, the engine's computer can activate alternate lobes on the camshaft and change the cam's timing. In this way, the engine gets the best features of low-speed and high-speed camshafts in the same engine. Several of the links below go into the actual mechanics of the VTEC system if you are interested.

now this is what made honda's so popular righ tnow if you never been in a car when VTEC is engaged, ( its kinda like when your on a dirt bike and the power band kick's in!

now let me get into a little difficult terms


these are the (VTEC) Engine's here is the list



before i forget most commenly used engines now are the JDM version engines


( Japanese-Domestic-Motor's)

It uses longer rods to accommodate for this, which is why the Rod/Stroke ratio is higher than a standard B16. It is basically a 'Destroked B18C Type R engine'B17B17A1* VTEC* Found in:o 1992-1993 Integra GS-R (DB2)+ Displacement: 1,678 cc (102.4 cu in)+ Bore: 81 mm (3.189 in)+ Stroke: 81.4 mm (3.205 in)+ Rod/Stroke Ratio: 1.63+ Rod Length: 132.28 mm (5.208 in)+ Compression: 9.7:1+ Power: 160 hp (120 kW) @ 7600 rpm & 118 ft·lbf (159 N·m) @ 7000 rpm+ Came equipped with the YS-1 style cable trans, which was different then other cable B-series transmissions as it has a different input shaft.B18B18AThe B18A is not considered part of the modern B-series family.

well i know i said i was going to try and make this as easy as possible but after you get the hang of it all it actually becomes right easy to remember!


ill add more information about how to get a little more kick into these little 4 cylinder engines with a little thing called (BOOST)..... later on!
