Turbo LS is your best bet for reliability. Also, have Marcum proofread your posts and turn off your Caps Lock.

Eurasia, caps lock is not cruise control for cool here. That shits annoying and if you keep it up someones going to rip you a new one. People are always looking for something to complain about and your thread sticks out like sore thumb. That being said, carry on.

LS/Vtec Turbo. great setup. IMO you get what you put into it. as well tune makes a huge difference in reliability. You can always turn the boost down for long trips.

The irony of your thread title and this post are crucial. I suggest taking off your caps lock if you ever want to be taken seriously.

If you want a setup that will last year after year after year.

Get a HEALTHY LS motor and do your maintence work to it. Then put a basic T3T4 on about 10psi and take it to a respectable tuner(Matt Shue (sohc mshue), Patrick w/ MRD, Shad Sawyer at Accuracy, InlinePro, John Savage @ Hybrid)

I have a friend who has a LS setup that has been boosted for 3 years now.

Another, bought his hatchback with a setup going on 6 years.

Then, you have Mike. Who has a b20 that will not die. I think he's going on 3 years on really high boost(upper teens)
