Vtec head or not
*Someday* I plan on building my motor to hadle major boost. As far as the bottom end goes, I plan on:
B18B block
Golden eagle sleeves
Endyn pistons, 84.5mm bore
Total Seal Rings
Eagle rods
z10 block gridle
B18C oil pump
B18C water pump (is there any difference in the gsr and ls water pump?)
all other bearings and gaskets requiered for a complete rebuild
I cannot decide if it is worth the extra money to so LS/Vtec or not.
What ever head I choose I plan to send to Portflow for a complete port & polish, along with cams, valves, valve springs, valgve guides, and retainers.
For the rest of my setup I plan on:
MaxRev turbo "kit"
Honada 3b
RC 550 injectors
Paxton 1:1 FPR
Fuel Rail (not sure what brand)
Walbro Fuel Pump
3 bar map sensor
Apexi electronic boost controler
ITR intake manifold
Hondata intake manifold gasket
Thermal 3" exhaust
Clutch (not sure what brand and stage)
Quaife LSD
and probably a bunch of other stuff Im forgeting.
Anyways, would it be worth it to have a Vtec head over the LS head? After the p & p would the vtec head flow any better or make anymore topend power than the LS head? Also, if I do choose the Vtec head, I know you have to use a LS head gasket, but would it be better to use an after market copper or other style head gasket? And shoud I go with the Moroso Oil Pan?
Thanks for any imput! Right now this is just a dream of mine that will hopefully come true someday.
