LS/VTEC Turbo?good?bad?
is this a good idea? it is an LS bottom end with a 99b16a head. i plan on building the motor up eventually but figured i can run about 10-12psi on this car as is. is it a smart idea to go turbo on this setup?

I'm sure if you built it right, ls/vtec will be a killer setup man. I am working on one myself should be done in a few months

... dont do the girdle. Search.
i know many very very fast cars b20/LS motored that run no girdle. I also know ppl with girdles who had the girdle shift and lose a crank.

Hey Geoff,
Did the people you know who had the girdle shift have the mains doweled and all that you said that would need to be done to the Z-10 to make it function properly? Or did they just put the girdle on?
Thanks,
Aron

I dont know how people could possibly build bad ls/vtec...it has less then 10 steps to do it. I have built for in my life...and not one of them has gone bad..for over a year and a hlaf on the youngest one. Its a killer motor...and mostly people who got raped buying gsr setups are usually the bitter ones HATING on the ls/vtec.

Re: LS/VTEC Turbo?good?bad? (Inlinefour)
Just out of curiosity how many Hondas are in the 8's or 9's on non-VTEC blocks?
Edit: What's the advantage of going with a non-VTEC block when it's a lot cheaper (50% almost) to just get your B18C1 block sleeved at Golden Eagle with 84mm bores?
