yes its just as reliable if done right!

I might miss a couple things, so dont quote me!

u need a vtec head(off any b series block)
any vtec ecu, doesnt matter which motor it came off of cause u can get it remapped!
u might want to get a air fuel controller also!

other then that, thats it!

you need time..............
you need money..............
you need to do it right..........
or don't do it at all...............
my opinion is, it's a beast when done but it takes patience and time. its not that easy as explained above.

not very reliable. You have a very poor rod/stroke ratio, and that causes too much vibration. It will end up doing bad things to your car. Do a google search on LS/Vtec and see some of the horror stories.

or you could just make one hell of a tourqe monster out of your B18A/B.... bore it, big cams..... ya know things like that. You don't need Vtec to make big power.

everyone thinks that vtec is like turbo or something. seriosuly there is not much difference from a ls to a gsr mainly. if i had the same amount of money with both cars i would choose ls. so that when you run gsr's u can smoke em. everyone thinks that ls's are hella slow but people r jus dumb

They are called Vtec elitests. The only thing that Vtec is good for is you don't have to sound like harley at idle. They sell Vtec killer cams for a reason! mmmmm crower 404's!
