LS/VTEC? lol, that was last gen Integra.

Much has been posted about block/head combos with the K series motor. I suggest a search first.

thats basicall what that is, (ls/vtec) because there is 2 diferent types of the vtec, thers vetc and there is VTEC with the k series, there is the shi**y vtec with only the intake valve and low lift and ther is the good VTEC with both the exhaust and intake high lift......

No, LS/VTEC means an LS block (found in older integras) with a had from a VTEC engine. You want to put an A2 head on a K24 block? SInce K series heads are not interchangeable with B or H series motors, it is not an LS/VTEC hybrid.

Do you really know how VTEC works or are you going off what you've heard? Because it sounds like someone fed you a line bro.

trust me i know how vtec works, i can send you some info if you would like to learn,
i dont really know much about the k series, My very first question i asked NO ONE answered, they just thought it was funny that i used the term (ls/vtec) because one of the two heads are garbage, just asking which head to use and which one is garbage and the vtec goes off of the oil pressure, heat and speed. but i plan on locking in my vtec permantly.

I think people understand what you are trying to say, motox... they are just being typical HT members, trying to tear you down =P

Honestly, I'm not sure about the fitment issues with a3 head on a k24 block... I would suggest searching... probably a good FAQ about K Hybrids

Because he called an A3/K24 hybrid an LS/VTEC? Excuse me for correcting him from spreading more misinformation on HT than there already is.

Okay bro...as a base owner, I advise you don't get that head. Its extremely low flowing and on the top end it seriously loses steam. Get an A2 head bro, you have to pay to play.
