Re: b18b or ls/vtec. and either how do i make 400+ hp?
I just wanna know where the statement of an LS head being more reliable than a vtec head came from? Last time I looked vtec heads have the rockers on shafts so they never have a chance of popping off like LS's sometimes do. Also, if you have a problem with oil leaks on your ls/vtec swap, that means you didn't assemble it properly or use the right parts. You do realize there are companies now (like cometic) that make specific hg's for ls/vtec hybrids? And so far any of the ls/vtec's that I've assembled/helped assemble haven't had any gasket related issues.

N2O on a honda is rediculous. Go read up on burn rates and check out dyno graphs and how high rpms and N2O don't work well together. Hell even N2O drag engines don't rev much over 7 grand.
Hondas use small displacement and high rpm efficiency to make power. N2O + rpms doesn't work, simple fact. Also the gearing is not optimal either since you'll be wasting time shifting and not ulitlizing the low torque curve.
