a few question for the pro's
ok ive been reading like mad for the past year or so on every bit of info i can get...
im currently running a turbo setup on an ls engine...230 000km and still goign fine everything stock, t25 @ 8 psi
last week my buddy who built the kit for me, needed my whole setup really bad for another customer so i gave it to him because we had planned to get something bigger for me....anyway since im not that crazy im planning a rebuild of the engine...
now here are my questions because even though ive been reading lots i wanna be sure to be going in the right direction
I'm planing on running a 20 psi setup eventually with hondata on a t3/t4 turbo
1)would Pistons, Rods and Block Gard be plenty or do i really need a full sleeve?
2) im not a big fan of lsvtec, but i still want some of that vtec potential, so i was woundering if my base is well built, do i lose any reliability by throwing on a vtec head? by that i mean if i have X reliability with a b18b turbo fully built, will i have that same X reliability with a lsvtec rebuilt ?
(wow sorry for the shitty interpretation)
so if some can please show me the way i would apreciate
Thx

sleeves are always the best

lsvtecs are just as reliable when built right.
