B18B LS/VTEC idea, opinions?

[II HUFF II]

So I've decided on the cheaper LS over GSR to save money for the motor build and I was thinking a VTEC head swap on the B18B...Which would be better, a B16a head or a GSR B18C head? I plan to bore and sleeve the B18B and develop a 9:1 CR for Turbo boost prolly around 15 psi...What are your guys' thoughts and opinions?

is it your daily driver?? this guy who just started at my work had a ls/vtec civc hatch and said that you wouldnt even need to boost ls/vtec because he use to beat turbo cars with it! not only that it has a lot of problems so shouldnt be daily driver

No my daily driver is an '07 impreza 2.5i...I imagine the LS/VTEC reliability lies in the quality of the swap...but yes I will be able to manage if it gives me trouble haha

well from what i heard ls/vtec has problems period, its almost impossible to have one that is perfect but then again ive never built one

If you look a couple more down threads, you'd see one already on which head is better...To save you the trouble of the 2 seconds, GS-R is a better choice.
