you have no business around an LS/VTEC....you cant even spell VTEC right for christ sake....and for the money I would rather boost the b18....

Doing an LSVTEC build with stock internals under natural aspiration is a huge waste of cash.

Think about it... N/A Ls/vtec is basically a stock B18C GSR... :dunno: still no power... if you plan on doing LS/vtec, and going N/A route, might as well save some cash and build it up for some power...

[QUOTE=RicoD]
BTW the HP gain by going LS/Vtec is somewhat minimal and you do lose a bit of torque... [/QOUTE]

you my friend dont know what you are talking about....you will never loose torque on a ls/vtec build as long as you know half of what you are doing....

i thought the ls crank has a longer stroke thus producing more torque, the only downside apparently is that its not balanced from the factory...besides an ls/vtec is way more cheaper than getting a full vtec engine
