Sorry i forgot this .... Is it better having a a non-vtec with turbo or vtec with turbo ????
 
vtec is always better than non-vtec.

i have yet to see a non-turbo put down hp numbers that vtec motors do.

its all tuning...and getting the air/fuel ratio correct. i have a friend running a built gsr turbo and with 5psi he's running with ls1's and lt1's from a roll.

with tuning, ie bigger injectors, he will bump the psi up to 10 and walk the same cars hes running with now.

i've also seen a b16a here in tampa that put down 406hp to the wheels. vtec is amazing technology...for those claiming turbo is not good with vtec...they're wrong.
 
DOHC VTEC B18C1 with 5 psi? wtf? That's what a D15B7 can run.
 
whats all this i hear about valve overlap and boost escaping out the combustion chamber because of it (vtec)?
 
basically, the duration of VTEC cams is open a long time for turbo

and because of this, you have that overlap.

it can be solved with a set of turbo cams, and cam gear timing.

That said, would I ever boost a VTEC?

if i was filthy rich, owned my own dyno, and was god of honda tuning.
