im thinking of going ls/vtec on a b18b w 9:1 cp pistons and eagle rods and acl bearing and a stock ls head. i also have a type r head w/ skunk2 pro1s camshafts will it help me if i install the head or will it be a waste of money to go ls/vtec?

 

there's no comparison...a stock ITR head with better cams will flow a ton better than a stock LS head.

Go LS/VTEC and never look back...you'll enjoy it

 

You will make WAY more power at the same boost level with the R head! At 15 psi it will probably be at least 75HP difference up top.

 

so its good to spend the extra few bucks an go ls/vtec
will the the ls cam gears fit on the type r cams?

 

no r cams are way different than ls you either need stock type r cams or some after market cams made for the type r

Yes the gears should be the same, the cams are not (obviously).

and why wouldnt the gears be the same ??? enlighten me

both motors spin the same number of revolutions to complete a full stroke

 

I think jmb misread difference in cams when it said cam gears.

PS--LS-t FTW
