most honda's were made to save gas not to be powerful... well to answer your other questions i don't know if it's correct but you need ls vtec lines, vtec water pump, gsr timing belt and, head gasket, and vtec ecu most likely p28 because i think ls motors don't have knock sensor

everybody has to start somewhere, and i guess this is the best place to start to find answers. honestly you should've done a search first. if your seriuos about building a ls/vtec, h-t has many discussions on them. my help to you is start with
c-speed racing, their website will tell you how to build a ls/vtec. gathering all information from various websties and on this board will let you know if ls/vtec is good for your needs. theres always gonna be arguements on ls/vtec buildups, why they leak oil, why didn't honda make them, why don't they last long, etc. but like i said it's up to you.

If Honda used ACL bearings as OE then they can do it. They don't so bearing failure is unacceptable.
