Re: your choice- LS vtec or GSR (Mr si99)

gsr all the way. while the ls/v might have more power i just dont feel it is reliable enough. Unless it was built the right way, and then that is really expensive.

definately. i'd go with the gsr. ls/vtec you're basically hybriding a gsr motor anyway. why not just have the reliability too.

wow thats some pretty even vote to me, but as far as reliability goes i think no cars is reliable if your racing so doesn't matter if its a gsr or ls vtec both are unreliable as to racing and if your not racing then both cars shouldnt have problems

you got the idea....the reason why ls/vtecs bite the dust is because ppl dont recognize the limits...

Re: your choice- LS vtec or GSR (jdm tommy)
have you owned an ls-vtec???? nope??? ahh but you can comment on the reliablity...ls-vtec's wipe the floor with gsr's all day...any day...everyday...and can be just as reliable...i myself helped build one that is still running strong...and is being considered for boost....sorry...but ls-vtec > gsr for speed and same reliability if done properly...

GSR, because of all the goodies in the block.
plus, if i ever wanted a reliable LS/VTEC all i would have to do is install an LS crank and rods. i've done this to an friend's block a few years ago and this is by far the best method!

man, is that all you can think of? let me help you out...
Oil pump
water pump
block girdle
and installing oil squirters on a non-vtec is not an easy task, cause i've tried unsuccessfully. and don't bs me either cause i know you've never tried.
anyway, you'll need oil squirters if you use stock honda parts in a LS/VTEC or B20/VTEC, reving to 8000 or higher. The whole reason the oil squirters are there are to cool the weak cast stock pistons. If you use forged pistons, you shouldn't need them, at all.

no it may not be, but it all adds up. not to mention...slapping a vtec head on still won't get you the compression you need to utilize the ls/vtec effectively.
either way, the route my buddy took is by far, MORE RELIABLE, more effective, and way easier to do.
