Ls turbo question
I have an LS stock motor. Im going to get it built for turbo but should i leave it non vtec and turbo it.... or Slap on a vtec head and turbo it. Give me many opinions!!! Thanks guys.
if u have the money...go for it y not. in my experience my friends lsvtec on a modorate build all motor is about 1/2 car length behind my old ls turbo on 9psi t3
btw they were both in eg hatches

all of this depends on your goals with the car and how much power/how fast u want to go. i have had both ls-t and ls/v-t and i must say the ls-t was a fun torque machine, great throttle responce and low-midrange power but u have alot more power potential with the ls/v setup. i would say if u wanted to stay around the 300whp mark just stay ls, but if u wanted to go higher in power i would recomend ls/v, simpily because the vtec heads make much more power, with less boost.
hehe the vtec head is a whole other can of worms man. i ran an ls turbo for about 18,000 miles, then rebuilt it as an lsvtec. to be dead honest, its the same exact tq band (200ft/lbs from 5k rpms to just about 6800), but im making like an additional 30 hp on about 3 less psi (same turbo). boost + vtec is ungodly amounts of fun and overly addicting
