Default crvtec life??

Im toying with the crvtec idea for my ek coupe, just wondering how they hold upif the block had stock internals. I know LS vtecs can die pretty quick my friends only lasted 3000 miles but on the other hand the one before that lasted 9000. I hear B20 blocks are stronger than LS so it should be ok, it will be daily driven so that will be a determining factor also. Any experience or info is welcome, thanks

I had mine for 10k miles, I dyno'd it after I put it in and the day I took it out, dyno'd the exact same #'s 180hp/128tq on stock untuned b16 ecu

still runs perfect to this day

Like any other motor, it depends on how it's built and how you treat it...

go with the shorter gear ratios

GSR/TYPE R/B16 would be your best choices
