why would you want a gsr head...... the b16 is better for lsvtec.... also setting up lsvtec is expensive to do correctly. plus you need a clutch and maybe a flywheel.... damn i would buy a couple lotto tickets. also without building the block it would kind of be pointless b/c you can max the potential of that block on your turbo alone... my $.02

agreed. i would just get another LS head if you dont have a big bank account to build your block and go ls/vtec

That doesn't change the fact that non-interference is better. If your timing belt breaks you don't have to worry about bent valves,tard

one isn't better than the other man, spin it any way you want, both have their advantages/disadvantages. that was my point, this wasn't a pissing match to see which one's better. now go play hide and go fuck yourself.....dolt.

Belt and chain have their advantages, as do interference vs. noninterference. FYI, 7M's are NON interference. I didnt mean to start yet ANOTHER pissing contest, but generally its easier to repair a non-interference vs. an interference....please let this OLD topic die
