Re:LS/Vtech apparently not a sturdy engine.
 

Well the last thing i want to do is go against Jeff casue you rock man i was jsut trying to get opinoins on the legendary ls/vtech. I mean i love your ls/vtech and your numbers are oh so sweet.

Re:LS/Vtech apparently not a sturdy engine.
 

why do you keeping typing vtech, is it the cheap chinese k-mart knockoff of vtec? (variable valve timing and lift electronic control)

Re:LS/Vtech apparently not a sturdy engine.
 

no clue i usualy think of it in terms of VVti not vtec but dont kill me for that, although i think vvti is not exactly the same(variable valve timing and ignition i belive.) LOL funny you say that because i am not asian but a little less than half my friends are..but only 1 is even close to a motor head. Damn i feel like a retard for spelling it with an h but oh well. I am not use to typing vtec(even though i know what it is) and i normally have not dealt much with honda stuff since all the people that drive any honda in my town are all the worst ricers ever. My whole family owns at least 1 honda but have only recently decided to build up one since I love boost so much and i am not gonna be boosting any of the cars i really want to anytime soon. I enjoy road racing any way i can and i am not entering a league this year in order to boost a car cause boost can somtimes overcome my love of road racing. dang that was too long a post.

Re:LS/Vtech apparently not a sturdy engine.
 

People have their own assumtions about the Ls/Vtec some good, some bad. I know a local guy who is making over 800whp on a Ls/Vtec :o and spins the fucker to 10grand.. heh

The reason the ls/vtec gets such a bad rep, is that kids with high milage 170k 90-93 integra's slap a B16a/B18c head on this old worn out engine, and dont use the correct fuel/spark management, or the correct vtec oil pump, and beat the living ---- out of them, and wonder why they leak, and make noises... ???

I'm happy with mine, so far...... Getting ready to redo the head all up nice, and get a new turbo setup, gotta hit well over 325 at the wheels next time on the dyno.

Re:LS/Vtech apparently not a sturdy engine.
