[QUOTE=ls_vtec_crx]put the gsr head on the ls block. and then put a turbo

that is exactly what i would do.

 

i think you will be happy with the outcome either way..i have a boosted ls hatch that i am very satisfied with the power aprox 305 whp on 13psi w/ built bottom end, but i am looking for a vtec head to throw on bc it will make more power.......is your ls built or stock

 

ive drove this thing, ive rode in this thing, its the LS monster, if only we had a vtec head to slap on this beast, wow what kinda numbers would she make then??
sup gabe haha

 

you could rebuild the ls motor, then turbo it...

LS's got mad potential for FI husspower

 

yeah mike....you know the ls's dont play

 

what is approx cost on a head swap both motors are b18s

 

not sure exactly, there is a kit out there just search for it, good luck!

you'll need to buy is an LS head gasket, oil lines for the vtec, and a P72 ecu and that should pretty much have you covered, then just swap out the heads

 

you can also use a obd1 P30 or a chipped P28.....either one of these ecus will be fine as well

 

http://www.lightningmotorsports.com has a kit for your app.

 

that kits a little pricy mike

GE makes a nice conversion kit for that set up, all u need is a vtec head and a couple fittings.

Replacing the rings and rod bolts would be a good idea too, and if u plan on swapping out possible rod/piston combo since the motors going to be torn apart.

it depends on where u go to get it, but its the safest and most effective conversion kit on the market IMO, worth every penny.
