i'm planning on doing LS/Vtec. for anyone who has done it or know of sumone who has it done....can u give me feed back on the reliability? if done right...will it be a good daily ride? i see some done...but it doesn't sound right when it starts.
i found a cheap head and installation for 1 g. that includes the vtec ecu. does that sound about right?

 

its all who builds it and how you take care of it. And depending on the internals you keep/swap will determine power/reliability.
Sure it'll be a good ride, but hey don't take my word for it. I did the same as you, found a good deal and went with it. Still liking my decision. Just make sure it's done by someone reputable.

 

yeah just get it built right and you should be fine

 

MUST DO: replace oil pump to a GSR one.

other things needed are a good oil return line, new head gasket.
as well as the intake and exhaust manifold gaskets.

 

thanks for the feed back everyone...i def want to go through w/ the vtec installation. my car is just too slow w/o it. my ls gives me enough torque to launch...but i need vtec to finish the job.

 

imo i would skip the ls/vtec. you get alot of risks. a guy i know has a b20vtec. Use to spank modded gsrs. now he can barely beat them. it depends if its daily driven. actually if i had your motor i would just turbo it; if you have the money tho.
