why dont you build it for what your going to do? then you wouldnt have to worry about that.

and ls vtec isnt great for boost due to some sort of ratio of the stroke or something like that. enigma has a long speech about it in another post.

 

ive heard a varity of things about the ls/vtec. i looked at this www.tamparacing.com place but couldnt find any treads for a turboed ls/vtec. do u have a direct link?

 

boosted LS/vtec is all I ever see. Wonder who gave you your information??

 

of course, when putting a turbocharger on any car, you must first build up the internals so things DON'T blow

It's pretty much common sense that you want to upgrade the internals from stock to a level that can handle all the extra horsepower provided by the turbo

 

yeah i knew that but i jst had 3 ppl tell me that theres no headgasket that can hold that much

 

how much u plan on boostin psi wise?

i say go ls turbo
save your money from purchasing a vtec head to buy internals/fuel/tune
and upgrade your turbo kit

either go Ls/Vtec NA or LS Turbo

 

If you have to ask questions like this instead of actually research, then the possiblity of "YOU" blowing a headgasket is pretty high.

 

you must learn before you can ask questions. lol
