i have a LS motor in a CX hatch, with a gsr Trans. i want to make a DD reliable 200 hp. the ls/gsr trans pulls nicely on the light cx, but i feel cheated w. out vtec. is the ls vtec reliable, or is it wiser to just build up the LS motor with cams, pistons, etc.?/ ne help will be apreciated.

research in the "all motor section". theres tons of thread bout ls/vtec. it is reliable if built correctly.

lsvtec is less reliable. but u could still dd it. how many miles are on your car rite now?

as long as you build the lsvtec the right way its reliable i got a friend that DD a 2.0 built lsvtec wit no problems besid it being hella loud lol or theirs always turbo they say the ls motor is the best out of the b series to boost

the car has 155k and motor has 98k, lsvtec seems like a good idea if done right.

Ticking time bomb. The LS wasn't meant to rev that high, but the VTEC head will flow better. Either don't rev the heck out of the LS. Or put an LS crank in a GSR block if you want safe.
