LS/VTEC
Well i'm getting my Ls engine very soon i will be driving it like that for a while but then i'm planning on doing LS/Vtec with the stock internals. What would you guys recommend LS/Vtec turbo or LS/Vtec Nitrous or maybe ALL MOTOR?? Also i would be installing a b16 tranny. LMK what do you guys think??

Do a search this has been beat to death.
LS block
-stock rods
-ARP rod bolts
-11:1 pistons(whatever brand you choose)
-stock crank
get a b16 or b18c1 head and upgrade the valvetrain
b16 hydrolic tranny is good because of the short gearing

Research is good...but I am in the middle of an ls/vtec project myself. LS bottom end, type R tranny, type R head, boosted....she rips. LS bottom very strong...Type R head very strong...good combination

Re: LS/VTEC (red_hatchback)
If you're gonna go lsvtec on boost I strongly recommend getting pistons and rods and even going as far as sleeving the block. Change the oil pump. If you wanna go cheap go with itr oil pump. And most importantly you gotta get that **** tuned. The motor will last on stock internals...but not long....but it also depends on how you drive and what type of gas you run. But if you're gonna do it you minus well do it right and do it once, instead of going on stock parts, blowing it up and end up going aftermarket. Get it done right the first time and don't worry about it again.

Re: LS/VTEC (boostedhb)
i've seen too many people send crazy money on a turbo setup and be really cheap on tuning.....make sure your **** is tuned by a professional, or your turbo wont even last

You mean, the engine won't last.
I dont know many that can credit a blown turbo to a bad tune.
