im going to tell you the lesson i learned very well
buy the car that you want thats already fast cause its to expensive to do it your self unless you have tons of money
ask if its vtec and if its not dont buy it cause its slow without vtec and to vtec it right it will cost a couple thousand so unless you got that lying around i would not if you want any more advice of what ive learned or other qu you can pm me ok

LOL

My advice,dont listen to this guy.

There's nothing wrong with buying a car that's already fast,but if it's modded,you have no idea as to what the history of the car is,and what issues it already has,oh and built>bought.

A good working vtec head will cost you anywhere from 300-700 bucks,the conversion kit is 280 from golden eagle(Honda/Acura Vtec Full Conversion Kit, W/ 84MM Gasket [Honda/Acura] : Golden Eagle Manufacturing).
Then you'll need a chipped ECU and a tune to make the most of the setup,which is another 300-400 bucks.

I don't know where spartan got the idea that it costs 2 grand to put a vtec head on an ls/b20 block.

and also he doesnt even have a car yet so if he bought a non vtec car for 3-4k which was his plan then he has to spend more money on vtecing it or doing w/e he wants to it then hes spending over 5k when he could buy a nice gsr for 4k
