Either blow money on buying a new engine so your Vtec can go BWAHHHHHHHH, or do the smart thing and keep your engine and build to TUUUUUUUUUURBO :drive:the block is never meant vtec so it'll never run.. better yet just go legit with a real vtec motor... it is just like having someone that doesn't know how to play basketball wearing a jordan shoe... yadaimean?get the point.? ahahah

I have never heard of this method you have a link with information so i could see how its done. I searched and googled found nothing.true ls vtec or b20 vtec is to use the crank and rods in a gsr block bored or standard bore
8-bit
do what now?
i guess the question is:you can make a reliable one if you put money into it, ie block guards, rod bolts etc.
ls/vtec is it really worth it money/time wise.?

its on honda-tech people use ls cranks in gsr blocks for torque. the only reason for a ls vtec is for torque, or you are cheap.I have never heard of this method you have a link with information so i could see how its done. I searched and googled found nothing.
depends on who builds it. Depends on who drives it, it depends on what you want to do with the motor.i guess the question is:

He claims 3 month and then Kaboom. Just wondering where he came up with 3 months, haha
My friend ran his B20/VTEC that runs 12s in the 1/4miles and it's been 3 years now and running strong. I had my stock LS/VTEC Automatic for about almost 2 years then I decided to fully rebuild it for more power because I was not happy with the power.
You guys need to check out the DVD by Omni.

every one hating on b20/ls vtec! i have around 3k invested into my motor, b20b with b16a2 head. there are plenty of ways to make a relaible ls/b20 vtec motor. but there are also a shit ton of ways to half ass it. my bottom end is a b20 crank polished and balanced, rods are stock but machinend to fit my pistons. pistons are 85.5 ycp 11.5:1, hastings rings,arp rod bolts. i highly doubt my motor is going to blow apart. This set up just has a bad name because lots of people literally bolt a b16 head on there ls and run a p28 and call it a day. 3k miles later kaboom. With all that said..if your doing a ls vtec build, its not cheap if your going to make it reliable and reliable is the key. good luck!

Thankyou! I just recently joined this site and find everyone to hate on b20/ls vtec. Do it right and it will last and be reliable. Its not cheap easy power..its a bit pricey. Its like boosting your car. You don't buy a 35r kit and run it on ur ls motor..its gota be done right in order to support that big of a turbo.jayb20eg is right you cant just bolt in a vtec head
