im new to this whole LS/VTEC thing. i just learn how to install the GSR head but i just need to know what i need to do so i don't blow a piston out of the side of my block. i also want to turbo it. is that safe? if anybody can help me that would be great thanks-nathan

Whoa whoa whoa! Don't do LS/VTEC if you plan to turbo! For 2 reasons don't, it's enreliable and it ups the compression ratio of the engine which isn't good for turbo.
I hope you didn't buy everything already.

DONT GET A TYPE R, DONT GET ME WRONG THEY ARE AWESOME BUT I KNOW IF YOU GET A PROPERLY BUILT LS/VTEC YOU WILL DESTROY ANY TYPE R SWAP OR H22 AND IT WILL BE ALL MOTOR SO THERE WONT BE AS MUCH MAINTENANCE AS A TURBO.... TRY EMAILING allmtrhonda@hotmail.com
hes one of the first to do ls/vtecs and one of the best youll have a 13 sec car without turbo.... but thats just my opinion...... iknow someone will go and say something about the motors reliability..... but whatever again just my OPINION..
