Id go ahead and search on this.

However, to give you a quick answer, go straight gsr if you can.

 

You already have ls so just go ls vtec

 

straight, like captain dewski prefers.

 

but can i go ls-vtec as a daily driver without worrying

 

haha. all b18c1= much less worrying than ls-vtec.

 

ya abut wouldn't ls-vtec be quicker this guy will trade me my ls motor for a gsr block also how is the motor gonna work with a ls tranny

 

Only reason I suggested you go with ls vtec is that you already have everything you need. The only other major thing you need is a shorter geared tranny. As for reliabilty, it won't be as reliable as a b18c1

 

Trade the LS motor for the GSR block if it's in good shape. Don't mess with LS/Vtec if you don't have the cash to rebuild it if/when something catastrophic happens. Use your LS tranny w/ the C1 for now and if you run into some dead presidents down the road then you can upgrade to an ITR, Si, or GSR tranny.

 

neither! sell the head and buy a turbo kit.

 

I'd do that before I built a frankenmotor, but you're half way to a NA Vtec setup. Plus it's not like you're prevented from going FI after you put in a GSR block. You could also build for a JRSC if you chose.

 

just go straight GSR... LSvtec you need to rebuild to make good power with it .. if you can trade your LS swap for a gsr black and tranny then go for it... it worthit i think make sure you get the ECu also
