VTEC Conversion Sandwich Plate Kit

This allows users to upgrade their engine's performance by utilizing the variable valve timing technology found in VTEC heads. This kit typically includes a Golden Eagle VTEC Conversion Sandwich Plate, which features a -6AN fitting for the plate and another for the cylinder head. Depending on the exact part number and vendor, the kit may also come with an oil filter housing, center shaft, O-ring, and an extended life oil filter. Some variations, like the GVCFULLKIT-NG, are explicitly sold without a head gasket, allowing buyers to choose their preferred gasket separately, such as an 82mm bore .030 thick Cometic Head Gasket or ARP head studs. The primary application for this kit is to add a B16, B17, or B18C VTEC head to Acura LS B18A or B18B blocks. It is a popular choice for Honda and Acura enthusiasts looking to enhance the performance characteristics of their engines, particularly in applications involving engine swaps or performance builds like LS/VTEC or B20/VTEC configurations. Installation typically involves the sandwich plate being mounted between the engine block and the oil filter housing, with the -6AN fittings allowing for proper oil routing to the VTEC system. The kit is sold with full instructions to guide the user through the installation process. While individual parts can be purchased separately, the kit offers a convenient and complete solution for this popular engine modification.
