LS\Vtec v.s. GSR
What typically is the HP yielded from an LS\VTEC conversion? Compared to the GSR with all things being equal (driver, tires, weight etc.) which setup would win between an otherwise stock LS\VTEC v.s. a stock GSR?

LSVTEC is FASTER,
Although, I'd rather have a GSR that is straight fromt he factory. YOu never know how long or reliable LSVTEC is....I may just crap out on you one day. As to a factory GSR, will last FOREVER!

How can you have a stock LS/VTEC? A hybrid motor can't be considered stock.

by stock I mean the only thing being done to the car IS the ls\vtec conversion i.e. no intake, exhaust, turbo etc. Most people (especially the people on this board) should be able to figure that out

if built right a ls/vtec would whoop on a gsr...even a b18c5.....but in any case this a lame topic becuz no one in there rite mind would but a stock intake manifold, headers on a ls/vtec.....

What makes the ls\vtec conversion so great?? The displacement? or what?

Re: LS\Vtec v.s. GSR (mattymatt)
ls/vtec = easier on wallet, little more power
gsr = guaranteed honda reliability, higher revs
if u can build it right, or find a shop to build it right for you, go for ls/vtec, i like the setup. but if you just want a stock-ish car, just get a b18c.

Yeah it all depends on you money options. The ls/vtec is cheaper and you can build it to be reliable, but will never be as reliable as a gsr or type r engine is.

The displacement on a B18B is slightly more than the GSR/ITR. Not much, but enough to make a difference in power.

Can anyone define building an ls/vtec right? Everyone says you gotta build it right but no one has said how. Also remember that most people who have ls/vtecs have the ls tranny. You need another 600 bucks to shell out for a b16 or gsr tranny.

Re: LS\Vtec v.s. GSR (John-GSR)
So let's say I have an LS block with a B18C1 head and 6900 redline(LS redline), should we keep the VTEC crossover at 4400rpm, or change it accordingly? Will it be worthless to even keep the LS factory redline?
