V-Tec Plus turbo question
i have heard how vtec can cause reliabilty problems on a turbo vehicle, i am in the process fo turboing my car and still want it to be pretty reliable. Now could i for the street get a dual stage boost controller and run around 6 psion the street w/ vtec and then when at the track switch it to 10 psi or so w/o vtec? will i see any noticable gains in reliability or should i just top vtec from egaging all together?

i agree with you. vtec increases flow thru the cylinder head thus increasing power. it has nothin to do with reliability. vtec is even more effective with boost and can cause massive power gains over a non vtec head
