LOL- no he doesn't.

An LS/VTEC is little more than slightly stroked GS-R. By using a B17A crank, he's actually destroked the engine, decreasing displacement. This does, however, drastically improve the rod ratio- I have no doubt he can rev to 8200 all day long with no problems. His displacement is also identical to that of a B17A- 1677.8cc. A far cry from the 1834cc of an LS/VTEC. And he's not using stock rods with a B17A crank in a B18A block- the deck heights are different, so he would have to get custom rods made to run that setup.

Importbuilders is the shiznit. Owned and run by Jeff Schaeffer, ex co-owner of Atomic Motorsports. Think Atomic Motorsports quality with good customer service. You will not get a better built engine anywhere, period. On top of that, Jeff is a helluva guy. My friend had a JDM H22A dropped in his 94 Civic hatch, and the workmanship is flawless, and it has run beautifully with no problems for three years now.

For any type of serious build, I wouldn't go anywhere else.
