bad idea... i'm no fan of ls/vtec's because of the oil leak problems if not built properly plus IMO reliability will be much of a risk due to the fi. don't get me wrong though i know Ls/vtec frank motors can make power but i haven't seen one yet that lasted 100K miles... i'm more in favor of full vtec swaps.

i say dont boost...might as well turbo a ls motor or a b16a .. more reliable IMO than a ls/vtec if not done absolutely right

Well, if you've seen pics of dxlst's hatch, you would know that he's probably not going for a half-assed built motor. I would say go for it. Tuning is key with a high compression, turbo motor...........

How did they get 10.8 compression w/CTR pistons in an LS block/b16 head? Should be higher.
