I'am thinking about building up a ls/vtec instead of a b16. The only thing that gets me is if I was going to use a golden eagle (or equal) ls/vtec kit that uses a sandwich plate would I still be able to get enough oil to the turbo or would they be problems? also, with eagle rods and forged pistons would the ls bottom end be able to handle ~8500rpms?

yes to all your questions you can actually build your own LS/Vtec kit for about $120-$150

$30 for a oil sandwich plate
$15 for dowels
$60 for HG
$20 for AN fittings
SS braid line depends on how long it is and what kind
