i bet my ls vtec is just as reliable as any gsr at high revs, with more tq to boot. if u dont skip steps and cut corners when u build the ls vtec it will be plenty reliable. one can speculate all day about why honda did this and why honda did that, but the truth is, none of us are the enigneers that designed these motors. so think what you want. i did tons of research before i built my setup. and i did manage to sumble across that article. does it make sense? sure. the gsr has a superior r/s ratio than any ls vtec or b20 vtec etc....and a b16 has a better ratio than the gsr. but dyno numbers and et's dont lie. as far as reliability goes, its all in the assembly. assemble right, and youre golden. cut corners and of course its going to blow up. but i have yet to see an decently built lsv put pistons thru cylinder walls. in fact ive seen more gsr's do that than ls vtecs.
very true but no matter what evry vtec motor has its ups and down...vtec motor break to easily no matter what it is b16 b18c b20v h22a

I had the honor on meeting the guy who invented the LS/Vtec setup (Omniman) a few years back when he was in town.
Lots of knowledge and learn alot about the K-motors before the RSX even came to America.
Didn't bother reading the link since I help someone build a LS/Vtec back in '03, to date, still runs faster than my build C5.
Crazy yO!
