i was thinking about building an Ls vtec.. or Should i just turbo my acura integra ls? n please dont tell me to get a new car or to get a k20 or something just just be cool about it and answer my question

Go for the turbo, boost is fun. They're pretty complicated to install tho & you may need upgrade additional parts if its a big turbo going on an otherwise stock engine.

i would go for the vtec cuz then you don't have to deal with all of the carefulness of not boosting too much or boosting too little. The vtec is like a turbo it kicks in at a certain rpm but the turbo gives you a much bigger boost so w/e you like. btw if you are going to do a vtec swap and plan on getting a vtec controller make sure you get a type r tranny cuz with the gsr or ls tranny you will go through that quicker than than the engine, though it may cost about 3-4k for that tranny. Hope this helps

Do the LS vtec then turbo it.

do ls vtec then go to the the basics like cold air intake headers then you can turbo it and set your ECU to a type r setting will run like a champ

Wow this is something I am highly interested in for I have an ls that I want to do both with but I am thinking you should go turbo but make sure it tuned properly if your daily driven car.

just grab a vtec b16 head and throw on the minor mods, intake, echaust, etc

i would go LS/VTEC, putting a K20 in there is costly and setting yourself up for disappointment if it gets jacked (stolen).IMO the K20 is way better.but still there are some very built LS/VTECs.

ls vtec nothing like raw power and hearing the noise of ur motor of the way its built build it right and it should last u a while the lsvtec wwill pull ur 95 it puledmy 4 dooor
