If you want it bad enough you will.
You seem to be in a huge rush, chances are you want this done last week and you're going to rush it together, it will run like ---- and ultimately you'll have a busted-*** setup.
Have you ever considered H22? Great power and MUCH cheaper than LSV or C5

OKAY IVE HAD IT WITH THIS MICKEY MOUSE THREAD.
Coming from a guy who had an ls vtec and 2 b20vtec's..
1) the cheaper you go and butch everything together, the motor wont last long and expect oil leaks as well as unreliablilty
2) ls vtec with just slapped on head on a b18 or even a b20 block WILL NOT make over 200whp. Mike from prospec has a fully built ls vtec and his only hits 204 whp. my b20 vtec fully built will only hit around 230-240whp give or take(and thats bored to a 2.1).
3) YES ls vtecs even with a GSR head will smoke a STOCK type R if you can drive.
4) Expect to pay 3-4 grand for a very mild but reliable ls vtec setup. if you with a bigger more built setup expect to pay 6-10 grand depending on parts.
5) dont build anything you do not know what your getting yourself into.

h22 isnt that the prelude motor? i was looking at that, but i also was told that preludes suck. please can someone just list out what i need to make a ls vtec with either a gsr head, and a b16 head. and approx prices. from there i will try to collect each part at a time. and has it installed later. im not in a BIG rush. but i want it done in the next 2~3 months

Okay guys, ive decided to do a proper ls vtec. but im also looking to do it at the most affordable rate as well. im just going to slowing get all the parts and build it. there really is no rush for it.
There's plenty to do outside my room but I choose not to!

when i started mine i thought i was gonna be able to do all 3 seeing as i practically got the block and head for free. as i got deeper in to the build, the cheap part faded fast. i can only hope that reliable and fast didn't go with it. i'll find out when it's done.
