Beautiful, it’s nice to see there’s still some old heads out there keeping the B series alive!

[@Rob.Coleman]

The sound of Vtec never gets old. Great job guys 👍👍👍.

[@LHTPerformance]

It make me want to do the same to my CRX. It’s addictive

[@ssfamous2.0]

This is exactly what I want you guys to do to my 99 Civic ex. The car has already been painted, and the interior has been completely redone along with everything else except for the type r swap. In my opinion, John and George are the best in the game. Quite frankly, there's nobody else I'd trust to do my swap. I work at Hendrick Porsche in Durham NC and I am saving as much money as possible so I can make this dream come true. I am so thankful for you and your family and I try to learn as much as I can from all of you. It's rare to find such honest and loving people that take care of there customers like ya'll do. Its honestly sad to see how the car community is turning out....Especially the Honda Community. The 80s, 90s, and the early 00s were the golden years. I can only hope and pray there's more than 1 John out there. This channel continues to make me smile and will always be my favorite. Thank you LHT 🔰

[@LHTPerformance]

First off I wanna say thanks for the kind words. As I’ve said in past videos, we truly love this stuff. We do this with passion, we only work on what we’re excited about and make so many friends while doing it. Don’t count out the Honda guys, there’s still a massive amount of true enthusiasts out there. At the dragon meet this past October, there was 800+ Hondas and true Honda OG guys. So many guys you walk up to and it’s like meeting a friends, all with the same Mind set and love for the brand. So many will to share parts, help and stories. We’ll always vow to give our 100% and treat the customer as we would want. We’ll be excited to build your dream and share it will fellow enthusiasts. 👍🏻

Miss that sound. I had a 92 hatch with a built B-16A back in the day. Nothing beats a B series

[@LHTPerformance]

Yep 👍🏻. Long live the B series.

[@ltatjsallday8709]

[@Giixxersquid]

Every time I see one of these it makes me miss my 94 integra! I love the simplicity of these cars

[@LHTPerformance]

Yes. I miss these.

[@jdm-r2524]

Awesome build guys... Happy to see people out there still into B series. Not just K series all the time. Had my JDM B18C5 TYPE-R in my EG CIVIC for 20 years now.. Love when she screams. Have fun and keep up the great work.

[@gotmesom]

clean n simple, 90s style, never will go out of fashion. Definitely needs GSR brakes it will make a huge difference.

[@LHTPerformance]

That’s coming. Look out for Part 2

[@vah-mingmoua9599]

Such a nostalgic build...and that sound..wow...I had a 2000 plum in color integra gsr with just about FBO and a good old phearable ecu and boy was vtec lively...omg...love my fk8, but there hasn't been anything quite like my good old B series 2000 acura integra GSR. THANK YOU for the lovely familiar engine noise full of happiness.

[@LHTPerformance]

Yep. We’re all starting to miss the B series more and more. The newer Hondas are great but nothing like a raw and high reving 2000lbs Honda

[@vah-mingmoua9599]

@LHTPerformance completely 100% true to that. Love the culture you practice at your shop and George is one he'll of a guy as well. Keep on m prolonging our dreams!

[@redcivic1000]

Always building some of the sweetest cars I have seen. Wish I could find one of these Gems! Great job LHT.

[@KAS470]

Damn now that is a dream eg! I love seeing simple and tidy eg’s like this. I bet it’s a blast to drive

[@LHTPerformance]

It’s so much fun. Look out for Part 2.

[@Sarranwrapdc4]

Love seeing B series Type R swaps in this day and age. Makes me wish my swap had those cams! I thought my crossover was pretty gnarly for a stock motor!

[@LHTPerformance]

I really like the Tuner 2 cams. Very smooth idle, quiet valve train , no need for massive springs and last forever. George ran some in his Integra for 40k miles and looks like new still.

[@euroberto85]

Was a honda guy for a long time and then turned to VWs but the VTEC crossover is a sound that can never be duplicated. That was awesome

[@mattdeverall3138]

I have the same exhaust (Tanabe Medallion) on my B16A3 del Sol, and that’s exactly how mine sounds too. Can’t beat that B series exhaust note! My VTEC changeover isn’t as pronounced, though, which I’m guessing is a product of the Skunk2 parts installed in the head. There aren’t many of these quality B series cars left. Always exciting to see another one.

[@ryguymods]

Fantastic car! The sound of an old school b series is unmatched in my opinion! This really reminded me of my old EK9 Civic Type R, sure do miss that car!

[@JBaek24]

that first experience in a wild vtec crossover in an ITR is what got me hooked on hondas back in the 90s

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

Incredibly clean!

[@faizalburhanuddin905]

When I see the Honda Civic EG6 in this video, this is the most pristine 90s Civic I ever seen. Simple exterior look with original interior + incredible engine sound, honestly I like this kind of transformation. Just keep it that way man, I like it so much.🥰

[@beckymiller5951]

Master class build ! Awesome job gentlemen

[@VTECKiD32]

the one thing that really caught my eye is how much weight George has lost. Amazing content as always!

[@LHTPerformance]

George is going JDM size

[@Kronic420]

my dream job, helping people swap their honda ❤ you guys do such clean work

[@LHTPerformance]

It’s great. I started in 1996 and still love it the same way. We’re getting paid to do what we love.

[@joelvillalobos4279]

I love watching the B series content. I have a Tanabe touring medallion with my b20vtec. I found when in vtec and the higher rpms, it was too raspy and buzzy for my taste. Especially during decel. I added a 2.5” tube muffler right after the header and it quieted it down, and sounds perfect. Great video.

[@hydrocarbon8272]

My brother bought a B16B-swapped EK hatch back in the day, that was some crazy Vtec sounds. Similar to what we hear from this unit. It's always great to see a retro B build, I remember back before K's and every B valve cover had minty wrinkle paint. It's sad to see so many neglected, but nice when they get revived.

[@LHTPerformance]

Yep. I remember the mint black valve cover in a brand new Crx VtI in England and fell in love with it. The build has really brought back the excitement in many ways.

[@huntersturgill1910]

I have this same build but white with blue interior. They are such a pure driving experience.

[@LHTPerformance]

Awesome! So many of us are realizing how much fun this stuff is. The newer stuff doesn’t have the same soul.

[@michaelmiz89]

I love your channel and watch every episode. For the EG hatch, I’m not crazy about the exhaust system. A little too raspy for my taste but enjoyed the Vtec crossover. I’ve found the apex’i world sport exhaust has one the best sounds. I had an 03 ep3 with a Jackson racing supercharger and used the apexi WS. Anyways, keep up the great work!

[@stevezee6286]

I had a WS2 on my ep3 until the exhaust rotted (michigan things). Replaced it with a HKS Hi Power. Sounds great with the new k24a ;)

[@SilentCivilian]

Definitely a bit nostalgic, it sounds so glorious! Makes you sit back and think "what happened to Honda?" 😅

[@LHTPerformance]

Yep

[@renardthefox3176]

Very nice "fresh up". B-Series sounds great. As always, we'll done ❤

[@gmtz06]

[@wcsoblake85]

That vtec change over in the start was amazing!

[@whatta7793]

Absolutely beautiful unit, well done. 200hp NA in a small car like that is more than what most people expect who aren't turned onto the Honda game. People laugh when they hear 200hp NA but don't realize that a 5 gallon bucket of oil weighs more than these cars do. Once again, fantastic job on this unit.

[@hugovilla28]

I love my k series because stock for stock it's "better" than b series, but i also LOVE and cannot forget about the mighty B series. hands down that is one of the BEST crossover i have heard!! it's pure and super enjoyable❤ Amazing job like always!!

[@LHTPerformance]

I agree.

[@DeanandLisa1803]

I miss my Honda days. I’m in Oz and had a mild custom ‘95 EG then bought a new ‘00 DC2R and waved the Mugen wand over it. The twin loop exhaust was a nice match to the B18R

[@samkarp3098]

Tugging on my heartstrings for sure. Got a '99 Si as a senior in high school and did some dumb stuff to it (and with it) as an 18 year old would do! Remember the days where 200whp NA from a B-series was impossible. Its great that such a mild build can get there now.... I remember when the RSX came our with the first K20 and I was actually upset since that VTEC crack was gone. Nothing like a NA B-Series spinning to 8200rpm+! Love my '24 Integra Type-S but its not a true Honda :)

[@LHTPerformance]

I remember the days too. We saw almost every 99-2000 civic Si ruined and now there’s none left. But yes, 200whp was so hard to achieve back in the day. Now we can do it easily with clean efficiency

[@asmongoldsmouth9839]

*A K20 or K24 would be insane in that 5th gen civic hatch.*

Ive been running a b16a swap for almost 9yrs in my car boosted. Havent done much but regular maintenance and retunes. One of the best power plants outside of a k in my opinion. Nice build guys new sub here.

When I built my turbo LSVTEC I went with a PR3 B16B head, a Golden Eagle LSV conversion, Skunk2 Stage 3 Tuner cams, full S2 valvetrain, S2 adjustable cam gears, PLM top mount turbo manifold, Garrett GTS3582 dual ball bearing turbo, S2 Ultra Race 3.5L intake manifold, S2 90mm throttle body, Grams 2200cc injectors, E85, Aeromotive 13109B external FPR, Walbro Hellcat fuel pump rewired and relayed, CP 81.5mm pistons, Eagle rods, ARP main and head studs, ATI Super Damper, Darton sleeves, Eagle blockguard, S2 Composite fuel rail, -8 fuel lines, Rywire tuck harness, 3" downpipe, a self rebuilt GSR trans with a LS 5th gear and an OBX LSD (that I upgraded with strengthened Bellville washers and heavy duty cap head bolts), and a full 3" Thermal Research exhaust. It made 709 whp at 34 psi tuned on Hondata S300 V3 on a P28 ECU. It was SCARY fast! It would roast both Nitto 555Rs in 4th gear at 80 MPH!
