fuck vtec if you are gonna boost. youll just be spinning tires like mad

make sure your suspension and tires are in good shape before doing anything crazy. stabilize the car and then build

a b20vtec turbo will make great power, as long as its built right. if you want to be cheap, just get a good turbo kit and a low mileage b20 engine. I dont think you should do any of the above because you obviously dont know what your doing...what trans are you planning on running? that's going to play a big role in how the car will perform. do some research, stop dreaming

a good ls trans will be just fine with boost. fuck vtec. and trust me i am an NA guy hahaha.

there is absolutely no reason to vtec if you wanna boost. any vtec motor vs a stock ls or b20 will have the same outcome... the vtec is gonna spin tires and the ls/b20 is gonna take off first and get the head start but then the more powerful car will pull....

SoOoOoOo... boost
just do it right and dont half ass it. the same with any car

dont listen to this guy. just do it right if you want to take this route. you dont need it sleeved unless you are doing INSANE compression without forged pistons and rods and arp studs and proper tuning. a block guard with coolant holes would be good too

do a b20 or ls if u dont want a vtec motor or if you wanted vtec i personally would get a b16 they respond well to boost and also handle boost well also dont let people talk you away from the b20 option with the thin cylinder bs has been argued many times and built can handle as much boost as any honda motor look at chris millers car 46plus pounds of boost on a b20 block
