both are going to be stock bottom ends? built i'd go for the lsv.
exactly what i was thinking lsVtec
someone buy the gsr head and ls block I have if y'all want ls/vtec
go for reliability... get the complete GSR engine.
Reliability is directly dependent upon build and tune, tune, tune. I hear so many people in ATL say how unreliable ls/v's are. Why is that in ATL it is unreliable, but they run fine in the rest of the country. I personally am doing a ls/vtec, but my next build will be b20/vtec.
HA... no, ls or b20 block/b16 head is better

GSR all the way if you already have the setup...
i had no reliablilty issues with my ls/vtec.
stock block
gsr head
type-r valve train
and DC 4-1 headers
that setup was redlined everyday for 6-8 months. :burnout: (with no problem) Then i junked the headers and replaced them with a greddy 18g setup. which also was redlined daily for about a year. :burnout: (buy redlined i mean 7800 rpms. even though ls bottom ends can not rev that high and still be reliable:rolleyes: )
It never leaked oil or smoked one bit. That is a year and a half of constant redline. I have a few people on IA that can vouch for how harsh i was on the setup! It ran fine till the day i pulled/sold the motor and shell. (sold it to buy a 240, now selling my twoforty to buy another integra lol)
To all the people that say it is not reliable maybe you should find a new engine builder/buy better quality parts! thats my :2cents:
P.S. that is why i picked ls/vtec ^^^^^^^^^
BOosted LS :)

i've always been told ls is better for turbos and gsr is better for all motor so if all motor is your plan then I would say gsr.
