you should just throw the words reliability and daily driver out the window.
i call bs to anyone that says that they daily drive a 400whp and its reliable
you CAN NOT take a 100whp car and modify it to quadruple the power output without risking reliability .
i dont care what anyone says...it just wont happen.
if you MUST have 400whp car, get yoru self a daily driver.
if you MUST daily drive this car, you gotta be more realistic.. i wouldnt even want to daily drive it with 275whp
a realistic goal for a daily driver for me would be be maximum 250whp.
turbos run hot. there is too much plumbing going on.
any boost spikes and boom...there goes your motor.
maintenance becomes more frequent...and your eyes have to be glues to the temp and oil pressure.
*to answer your question tho.....
at your power goals, it doesnt really matter anymore if its a b18b motor or a b18c.
vtec no longer matters since your tune will smoothen out the powerband
stick with what you have. build the LS. have fun and good luck
