If they are built wrong, they can break down alot.

I suggest a search.

LS/VTEC works if its done right. People go LS/VTEC because its cheap to do, but they usually half *** it. If the block isnt tapped right that couldl be problems. Also, people never really think about changing the stock oil pump. If its a non-VTEC car, you definitely should think about a type r oil pump or shim the stock LS or......... I dunno, if you do decide to do it, make sure its done properly. And it will most likely cost more than you think if you want it to be reliable. Just my 2cents. Good luck

first learn how to write and spell...
second lsvtec is not a myth, its been done...
third if done right, the motor has a lot of potential and if done wrong, itll be a waste of money...
just have professional people (who's done lsvtec more than a couple times) put it together, trust me, we did lsvtec with my friends motor, 6 months later, its leaking like crazy ..
but my point is if you want it done right and last, then have professionals do it

LSvtec as many people have said is great if done right. Have 3 guys local in town that all have very high power LSvtecs that run correctly and dont have problems.

Id stay b16 and do boltons and just have a fun car to drive with money to save, turbo the bitch, or sell it and get some money for school if spelling is a problem.

Love that graph LSVTEC is the **** and a half if built right. Most of my friends have them and drive them daily making 200+ whp with no problems except the $2.00+ for a gallon of gas.
