Civic EG

I had an eg sedan gutted with a d16z6 (love vtec) but I totalled it. Got another EG sedan. I really dont like single cams much anymore.
Im looking to make this a daily driver but I still want vtec. Is it even worth it to build an ls/vtec and will it be reliable for a daily driver? I dont know much about DOHC but thats why im posting this. My buddy has a regular ls but It doesnt feel right without vtec. Any info would be greatly appreciated

im also on a budget and a 12 month license suspension so i have time to build it, just wanna get a block and then a head and do it slowly.

along with that whats the best block/head combination for an ls vtec??
like i said, i know nothing about DOHC

The GSR head will better deter detonation, and have better mid range torque. the B16 Head will have better high end flow.

I had a ls-vtec set up in a 91 Ef and it was fast but not reliable, but now I have a 93 del sol si with a 99 crv b20b from Japan with a built GSR synchrotec tranny which is faster the my ls-vtec set up with bolt ons I
Run b16 and gsr all day and win and its a very reliable set up. And cheaper.

Or you can just build an LS with no vtec, you can net up to 170hp on the highest octane gas using oem parts and a 403 cam

Doubtful it would make 170 on the stock port and stock manifold.

a properly built LSV is worth it... KEY WORD, properly bit. Sticking a stock VTEC head on a stock LS longblock is far from "properly" done.
