You can't build an LS/VTEC for $1000 with used parts, much less new. If that's what they're offering you, sign me up for three- I'll use the parts to build other engines. Like I said- you can find one for as little as $3200, using a stock 18A/B block and B16A head, all stock, including the internals. Guaranteed it will never see 10K miles. I can't imagine what they're offering you for $1,000.
You didn't read the article, did you? Anyways, I have experience with multiple LS/VTECs and multiple CR-VTECs. They'll never work as well as a stock B18C. It's a fact. When they work, they rip, no doubt about it. But which would you rather have? A car that runs a 13.5 and runs perfectly, or one that runs a 13.2 and has to be watched like a hawk and you're constantly fighting with to keep it running?
I think you've already made up your mind, and nothing I can say will change it. So go ahead and build yourself an LS/VTEC- I look forward to telling you "I told you so."
