An LS/VTEC hybrid will only be unrealiable if you do a piss-poor job of building it (i.e., cheaping out, simply putting the head on the block with no other work) or reving it where it doesn't belong. Observe the stock non-VTEC redline, 6.5k for 90-91 and 6.7k for 92-93 if memory serves, until you rebuild and reinforce the bottom end. Just because the powerband is above the B18A's stock redline doesn't mean it's safe to wind it up there.
