I plan on doing a complete ls bulid and i am wondering if i have to run a vtec head in order to get more from the motor or can i just get the ls head worked over (port and polished with bigger valves and cams)? also i am planning on turboing in the near future. new to hera but i heard great things so help me out if ya can

 

well vtec is always better! I use to have a fully built LS/vtec Turbo! you get more power with the vtec head

 

ls-vtec are good when they are done right...about 30hp gain imo...

 

its definately easier to get more power out of a vtec head, turbo or n/a. I gained over 50whp on a turbo ls, when i swapped the vtec head on.

 

For ease of potential power, go with a VTEC head. Not to mention, the kind of cams you'd need to match VTEC cams with LS cams, drivability would be GREATLY sacraficed.

Just get some mild all motor cams, or stock Type-R cams, with appropriate valvetrain, and you'll love it.

 

thanks will do how difficult is it to put a vtec head on a ls block first time attemping but i want to do it right the first time ya know

GO THERE AND READ AS MUCH AS U CAN..!!

 

Get the august 07 Honda Tuning and turn to page 28 and read. I know it doesnt exactly have to do with the post but it does at the same time. Plus it is a really good article IMO. Time for the flaming....
