Ls/vtec jacks up your compression. Honestly I wouldnt personally boost a hybrid. Too much ---- for me. If you really want boost on a vtec motor. I'd go with a b16. And as for an LS just boost the ---- outta it without the vtec head. :)

yea i agree....the compression is a tiny to high for a turbo on the ls\vtec.....i would turbo a b16 too.

as long u lower the compression ratio you'll be ok, i've seen a turbo ls increase 50hp by adding the head.

Re:LS/Vtec??? good for turbo?????
 

I dont know what all you guys have been smoking, but LS/Vtec's have pretty low compression, nothing crazy like B18c's or B16a's

9.5cr B18/B16a head

9.7cr B18/B18c head

---- I was boosting a Mini-me over 8psi at times with 10.6c/r

I am personally doing a LS/vtec turbo in my daily driver, pics are coming soon.

so... Jeff u think i should convert my ls to ls/vtec?? since i already have a p72 layin around.. turboed... with ls tranny...

I think you should do whatever you want..

I pesonally like the output of just the ls/vtec NA and I think putting a turbo on it would be pretty nice for a street car.
