I'm not saying one or the other but they are reliable if you do it right, at least as reliable as a turbo ls.
yes they CAN be reliable but pointless since Honda does make a 1.8l motor made for Vtec and 9g revs. if someone happends to have a LS motor in there car and they want Vtec it is a way to go, but if your building a motor, then a LS Vtec is pointless.
