ls/vtec or ls/turbo
Okay, lets say you already got a ls motor already.. You can either go ls/vtec or you can use that money and go for a turbo kit.... Which one would you opt for and which one would seem to be the VERY MOST RELIABLE for daily drive???? Keep in mind not planing to bullet proof the bottom end of the ls anytime soon just goin to boost on stock internals if choose to go with a turbo kit. How much psi of boost can the stock bottom end of the 95 ls can handle and still keep it reliable??? Which turbo kit would be the best fitment in a 88 crx? Drag? Greddy? Thanks for all opinions. I did search but didn't came up with anything useful.

Re: (ls_vtec_crx)
lol ls/vtec turbo is nice but lets just say funds are pretty limited either you can get a vtec conversion or you can get a turbo kit. Which would be the better way on the ls that would still be a safe reliable daily driven car... Thanks guys.

ok... lets say u save for a turbo kit, with that amount of monie you'll be able to have a decently modded lsvtec... just get a dent vtec oil line kit and arp head studs.. my friend has that setup and hes running beastly... u'll be well satisfied.. and you'll save alot of money...

is this for the crx? since u sold ur eh2? well Im assuming u have an ls motor all ready? if u all ready have a ls,piece together a turbo kit,you'll be satisfied with that..if ure gona do ls vtec u need to do it right,people with a budget in mind should steer away from that imo. IF u dont have a ls all ready,forget both of em,just get a b18c1 instead,you have great reliability,you'll be satisfied performance wise,and u have all motor goodness..and hell if the funds allow later down the road..turbo that

Re: (domoEF8)
yeah, its for the crx.... I already got a LS motor.. Probably just goin to turbo it... Gotta find a good cheap turbo kit first tho LS/Vtec seems to be too much trouble and wouldn't be able to pass state ref
